ANADARKO: THE LATEST INSTALLMENT

ANADARKO — Some folks promote us more than we promote ourselves. At this point, we should probably start billing them for advertising.

Meanwhile, we're over here still scratching our heads trying to figure out why anyone with a court date on the horizon would voluntarily make life harder for themselves. We wouldn't recommend it, but it's certainly... a strategy.

And yes, before anyone asks, we've got the receipts. Turns out that some of y'all are really good at screen recording and sending things straight to our inbox. We appreciate the dedication. Respect.

Anyways, it appears that someone has decided to start inserting themselves into active law enforcement scenes again, including mental health calls where firearms were reportedly involved. Those situations are handled by trained and certified officers for a reason. Walking into an already tense and potentially dangerous scene doesn't make anyone safer. It only creates more risk for everyone involved.

And then livestreaming it while telling people not to call for help or encouraging others to start showing up to active emergency scenes? Y'all... that's not the move.

If someone is experiencing a mental health crisis or there's a situation involving a firearm, call 911 and let the trained professionals handle it. The best thing you can do is stay out of the way unless you're specifically asked to help. And based on the video we've seen, it certainly didn't appear that law enforcement was asking for extra people to step in.

Oh and apparently every bad thing that happens is always someone else's fault. The lawyers. Law enforcement. The neighbors. Mercury being in retrograde. The squirrels. Anybody but the person staring back in the mirror.

Y’all are free to believe whatever you want. As for us, we'll keep following the documentation, because paperwork has a funny way of speaking for itself.

One claim we've seen repeated is that attorneys are somehow being "intimidated" by law enforcement into withdrawing from cases. That's a serious allegation. If an attorney could actually prove that law enforcement improperly pressured them into withdrawing from a case, it would be the biggest legal story of the year.

Or maybe the explanation isn't the one being shared online.

Maybe they withdrew for reasons that are actually documented in the court record, including unpaid attorney fees. It's amazing what you find when you actually take the time to read the documentation.

That's why we'll continue relying on court records and documentation instead of speculation.

And with that being said, we'll return to our regularly scheduled programming. Carry on... We've got news to cover.
