Texas can't warn people about deadly floods, but can immediately let me know about a hurt cop hundreds of miles away [View all]

Texas can't adequately warn people about deadly floods, but it can immediately let me know that a cop got hurt 250 miles away from me.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY SO MANY TURN COMPLETELY OFF
ANY PUBLIC WARNINGS ALERTS ON THEIR CELL PHONES

Endless USELESS “ALERTS”.

Who gives a damn whether someone got hurt 100s of miles away !!
Sorry it happened,, BUT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DAMN REASON TO ALERT 20+ MILLION TEXAS RESIDENTS !

AND there is ABSOLUTELY nothing ABOUT these useless ALERTS with THE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF TEXAS RESIDENTS care about!
Who gives a damn !?
