Meet Officer Waddac Hunt of the Fort Worth PD

 

We don't know what her name is. Yet. When it is revealed, I will do everything I can to make sure everyone in America does know it. Why? Well, for the simple fact that she is a covert SJW masquerading as "the law", who has no business with a badge, a sidearm, or any place in civil society.

At a "pride" event on June 27 the following occurred, according to this report:

“Street preachers Richard Penkoski and David Grisham were subjected to multiple violations of their First Amendment rights while attempting to preach on public property.

Upon arrival, they were immediately met by Fort Worth police officers who blocked their access to the public street and sidewalk, threatening both men with arrest for trespassing if they entered the area. When Grisham reminded officers that he had previously sued the City of Fort Worth in 2014 over this exact issue – a lawsuit that resulted in a settlement and an official apology from the city – the officer dismissed the prior case, stating, “I don’t care, you can file whatever lawsuit you want.”

After being forced outside the barricades, the confrontation escalated as multiple officers allegedly threatened to cite the men based on the subjective reactions of attendees. A female officer stated they would be cited if they said anything “offensive.” When Penkoski responded that offensive speech is protected under the Constitution and is not a crime, the officer claimed it fell under disorderly conduct, stating, “Well, yes, that is the conduct.”

This wasn't in the UK, where one might expect to see this sort of abuse. This was in deep red Texas. It seems that officer Hunt is doing a little freelancing, though to be fair she was not alone. She was joined by other "officers" who made similar threats. I don't know about those other stooges, but there is this:

This is from the Trinity Pride Event in 2025. Same officer? Maybe? I guess we can't say for sure. Some facial recognition software could probably settle the question, but absent that we will let you be the judge.

The City of Fort Worth PD was cautious in their official response; however, they did make it a point to say that "...the officer’s statements were “not accurate,” ordered First Amendment refresher training for officers, and confirmed that public sidewalks remain open for speech." Call me a cynic, but I find little comfort in their assurances.

Huh. First Amendment refresher training. Are they sure it's a refresher? Wouldn't it be prudent to do some screening of the officers before they are hired? You know, maybe make certain that they actually have a basic understanding of the Constitution? Before giving them deadly weapons and the authority to bully citizens on behalf of the state? Between the two videos taken from both events, there appears to be an awful lot of making up the rules as they go along. This is a privilege accorded to those wearing the badge but is never to be permitted for the mere mortal citizen.

Another privilege accorded to these thugs is the ever elastic "disorderly conduct" statute. Whenever they have been bested by a citizen who knows the law better than they do, there is always the sweeping and deliberately ambiguous disorderly conduct. It's a catch all for when they can't find any other charge to issue. Disorderly conduct is the final refuge of dirty cops who think it's okay to make up the rules on the fly. It happens everywhere, in part because it is permitted and, in some instances, encouraged.

The good citizens of Fort Worth are apparently laboring under the misconception that their local PD is striving to assure the safety of ALL, as is their charge. It would appear that this, in fact, is NOT true. It appears that there is, at the very least, a contingent of "officers" who consider it their duty to extend an extra-constitutional layer of protection for an LGBTQ community that might be offended by something said. Where is that on the lawbooks again? 

Though it is contrary to my nature, I am obliged to extend the benefit of the doubt to the Fort Worth PD. The ball is in their court. They have the chance to demonstrate whether or not they are one of those jurisdictions where this type of abuse is permitted. Or encouraged.  It's not like this sort of thing is unprecedented in Fort Worth. There was a time when a black man could commit a crime in Fort Worth, and have the full force of the courts pressed upon him for the offense, while a white man committing the same crime could skate. Especially if that white man was wealthy or well connected, but mostly just for being white. That was the regime of "Jim Crow". Of course, they did away with that sort of thing decades ago. Right?

The right thing to do here would be to fire this "officer" and bar her from ever serving in any department ever again. A "first amendment refresher" is tantamount to ordering a remedial driving course to an Indy 500 driver. It would be a reasonable expectation that an Indy 500 driver already knows how to drive. Just like it is a reasonable expectation that our police officers have an understanding of the Constitution and what it says.
