his name's mark herman, harris county constable from precinct 4.ying for that deputy and the two injured. what can you tell us at this time? >> well, i can tell you that it's a very sad morning for my agency and, clearly, all law enforcement across our nation. you know, this morning three of my guys were working, you know, extra employment at a business, and two of them were alerted of a possible robbery in the parking lot. when they got out there, they were in the process, you know, of making an arrest and had the suspect on the ground when a second suspect come from from behind a vehicle with a rifle, i was told it was an ar-a 15 rifle, and basically opened up on both of them. we did have a third deputy that was working the extra job also. he heard the gunshots and ran to the location. and as soon as he arrived, he immediately took fire and was shot himself. so, you know, i just left the hospital, sat in a room with one of my deputies that was deceased. it's probably the hardest thing i've ever done in my life. i've got another deputy that was sh

look, harris, i lived in loudon county where this is all happening. we moved out three years ago and i will tell you why later. you could see this coming over a long period of time where the education -- what was once the best public schools in the country suddenly started falling apart because of the curriculum. what has happened over the last nine months is joe biden. joe biden has ratcheted this up because mccauliffe and biden want to hand education over to the teachers unions. what you see is parents have had enough. when biden's justice department launched in and said we'll criminalize parents who speak up, that caused a backlash in loudon. i've spoken to friends of mine who are liberals, democrats, independents, they are furious in loudon county over this. some have taken their kids out of the public schools. others are leaving or planning to leave, harris. so i think they poked the wasps nest on this. people will tolerate government intrusion in their lives and deal with a lot. when it starts to impact their kids there is hell to pay and i thin
