BREAKING NEWS....
May 5^th, 2009 at 12:58pm

Ya'll remember a couple of years ago when my nephew got picked up in Teneha TX and the cops took his money (he was carrying about 7 grand to buy a car when he got here). They threatened to take his kids away if he didn't give them the money and a lot of other trumped up stuff.

He went to my lawyer who called the FBI and eventually got his money back, but it was really traumatic.

Well, it seems his family wasn't the only ones picked on. Apparently that's how this little town supports itself. There's a class action suit against them right now, but the really good thing is CNN got wind of it and TONIGHT there's a special (a whole hour from what Ronnie told me) going to air - Anderson Cooper at 9p.m. (I think that CDT) and my little nephew is going to be on it.

Ya'll tune in ... we NOW have a TV star in the family. His name is Ronnie Henderson and he's about as blunt as his Aunt Barb, but he's still ticked off so I have no idea what he said.

But I'm just glad something is being done.. One more step for the PUBLIC.

I do too Jimi -- apparently this guy was an "ousted" state trooper - he'd been caught trying that when he was with the state. He was dirty to start with. I hope they hang him.

It gives the good guys a bad rep but we never hear about all the good ones like you and Joe and my neice Sgt Connie (well actually she's a cousin, but I helped raise her so I'm Aunt Barb).

Yeah, I remember that Barb, and I remember talking to you about asset forfeiture in connection with this. Good to hear their little cottage industry is finally getting busted wide open.

Here's a link to a CNN article, for those who may not know what we're talking about:

OK, I watched it.

The story is reporting a horrendous misuse of authority! And at several layers! IF the parties are found to be guilty, I hope they NAIL their a$$es to the wall.

Deplorable!

Barbara, I also noticed that they edited out your nephew's comments. Maybe they could not take the "tell it like it is" attitude that you taught him. heehee

Thanks for letting us know about the show. It was VERY interesting!

Yeah I noticed his wife did all the talking... But my little Jonathan got to "express" himself. They didn't show Jacob (he's almost 4 now).

I hope they hang those idiots. And that DA can't sing worth a darn. She got real pissy with my attorney when he called her and told her she couldn't do what she did. That was right before he called the FBI.

But they DID give them receipts for what they took... go figure that one. I thought CNN did a great report and hope they follow up on it.
