About a week ago, a story went viral regarding Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX).
Jackson was at a local rodeo when a girl had some sort of medical emergency.
Jackson, a licensed MD, offered his help, but it was reported he got into a bit of a tussle with local law enforcement.
Well, that bodycam footage has finally been released.
Make Jackson Look Bad
So, conveniently, the audio that would prove Jackson was in the right was muted at the time.
Only when Jackson started to get boisterous was the audio turned on.
Here is the footage…
I scanned headlines for the reaction to this.
Virtually every major media outlet concentrated on Jackson’s language.
What they did not report was the reaction by the girl’s mother, who reportedly made a post on social media thanking Jackson and slamming local law enforcement and the EMTs for taking so long to get to her daughter.
Seeing the narrative, Jackson responded, “I’m glad the video is out. It shows the incompetence of the authorities and their complete disregard for the young girl in distress.
“We have the best Sheriffs in the country here in the panhandle and north Texas.
“Unfortunately, the Sheriff in Carson County is not among them.
“I will apologize for my language, but I will not apologize for getting upset & speaking my mind considering the circumstances.
“If I had to do it again, I would still step up & act in a life-threatening situation.
“I will ALWAYS help someone in need. I WILL NOT apologize for that.”
I would love to hear that audio where the sheriff stated that people had repeatedly asked Jackson to stop helping and the mother asked him to leave, as they claim.
It is also very convenient that the officer decided to keep his camera muted until Jackson started to fire off F-bombs.
