It's happened, but it's enough of a minority and not concentrated enough
geographically to do much more than kill a few people, if even that, and
get a few people who were ambivilent about law enforcement to have a
little more sympathy for them (since they're the ones who've had to deal
with it when it's happened).
The thing is, Texas has more to lose by leaving the US than it has to
gain, and most of us understand that. The parallel doesn't quite work.
