The Gibbet of Montfaucon, the main gallows of the kings of France until the time of Louis XIII: a large, sinister structure located at the top of a small hill near the modern Place du Colonel Fabien in Paris, built to execute criminals and traitors and to display their dead bodies as a warning to the population.

Armed Agents in Texas School District Arrest Concerned Parents in Their Own Homes
The Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD) in Texas is using its own armed agents to arrest parents who speak out against the school board’s policies, according to Christopher Rufo in the City Journal.
Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said:
The battle lines are clear: on one side, the Biden administration, public school bureaucrats, and their armed agents; on the other, parents and families who oppose school closures, mask mandates, critical race theory and corruption. Public school officials have demonstrated a willingness to use police power to silence and intimidate their opponents.
Two fathers, Jeremy Story and Dustin Clark, had spoken out against the school board’s “alleged corruption and school officials’ hostility toward parents.” In August, while “produc[ing] evidence that the board had covered up an alleged assault by the superintendent, Hafedh Azaiez, against a mistress,” Story, a minister, was cut off midsentence as Azaiez ordered armed officers to remove him from the premises, according to Chronicles Magazine.
RRISD has it’s own police force, Rufo said, explaining: “with a three-layer chain of command, patrol units, school resource officers, a detective, and a K-9 unit.” And only a few days after Clark’s removal from school board premises, the school district “sent police officers to the homes of both men [Story and Clark], arrested them, and put them in jail on charges of ‘disorderly conduct with intent to disrupt a meeting.'” They were released the next morning.
According to Rufo, many parents believe the school board is trying to send a message: “if you speak out against us, we will turn you into criminals.”
But these tactics are not unique to RRISD, explained Rufo:
In Loudoun County, Virginia, for example, where parents have protested against critical race theory and a sexual assault cover-up, the superintendent asked the county sheriff to deploy a SWAT team, riot control unit, and undercover agents to monitor parents at school board meetings.
The Loudoun sheriff did not comply with the superintendent’s request, saying the board had not given “any justification for such a manpower-intensive request.”
The issue of police power intimidation has become federal as well, as Breitbart News reported Attorney General Merrick Garland directed the FBI to look into concerned parents. Breitbart News also reported on a whistleblower revelation that the FBI went as far as to use “counterterrorism tools” to go after parents.
Story and Clark believe what they have gone through has implications beyond RRISD, with Story saying, “This isn’t just about Dustin [Clark] and me. It is about everyone. If they can come for us and get away with it, school boards nationwide will be emboldened to come for you.”

This should worry everyone, people can riot and assault people commit crimes and it’s fine, crimes occur on many levels of society and they just don’t have the man power to investigate it but they do have the power to come an arrest anyone who dares to speak against them they do have the man power for that they also had the man power to raid the home of a journalist and leak his attorney client privileged information to the New York Times who posted it in an article and claimed it was a mistake.
they have the man power to commit crimes and violate rights but not to investigate when those things occur.
1st and 4th Amendment violations, no doubt on Chairman Biden's orders, have been perpetrated against our people. The regime we have today is exactly WHY the Constitution was written.
For those who don’t know, Round Rock is essentially a suburb of the sprawling Austin metropolitan area. So this comes as absolutely no surprise to me if presented fully
So this is actually very common all over the US, a district having its own police force allows for a dedicated resource officer to be stationed at the campuses without taking officers away from patrol or other traditional LEO duties. It also helps keep the same officer(s) at the same campuses to establish consistency for everyone, and allows the relationships to be built between faculty/staff/students and the Resource Officer.
Additionally it allows for the officer to notice if something is out of the ordinary with a student or the building as they are there every day.
However their jurisdiction is generally only the district buildings/campuses, there should be NO reason for a school district police officer to make an arrest at a private residence after the alleged incident like described here, again assuming this is reported accurately. If there’s a disruption at the meeting or event that requires arrest fine but once they’re off campus it’s not their responsibility anymore (within reason).
They shouldn’t, the purpose of having dedicated PDs is to keep the local PDs from using resources on the schools which are a major drain on limited resources. If a school district has a patrol unit there’s a problem. The RO should be the only one patrolling the campus on foot, or in their cruiser if it’s a larger campus. Not off campus and they shouldn’t be conducting police business off campus outside of normal jurisdictional exception if they see a felony in progress
