FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK 

TALE OF THREE LEADERS 

This issue was ready to go to 

press several days ago. Honestly, 

we were just waiting to place a 

few ads and boom it was done. 

Then the war against Ukraine 

began and the Tale of Three 

Leaders began to emerge and 

suddenly I felt changes had to be 

made before we published our 

March Issue. 

Let’s start with the worst and 

move our way up: 

Putin – What the F**K is wrong 

with this asshole. We’ve always 

known he was a prick, but now 

he’s just gone off the deep end. 

His rambling speeches and long 

tables are one thing, but to bomb 

innocent women and children 

is quite another. I get it that he 

wants to rebuild the USSR and be 

the supreme leader. But what’s 

the reward when you destroy the 

cities and kill its citizens. And the 

ones you don’t kill, leave by the 

millions to other countries. In 

the end you’re left with what – a 

deserted country with bombed 

out buildings? 

On one hand I agree with Senator 

Lindsey Graham, someone 

needs to take this asshole out. 

Drop a bomb on the Kremlin, 

shoot him, stab him, whatever. 

He’s lying to his own people and 

threatening to jail anyone who 

dares tell his people the truth. 

There’s no CNN, FOX, or CNBC to 

report what’s really going on and 

he’s cut off FACEBOOK as well. 

They have no idea the horrible 

things Putin is doing to their 

neighbors to the West. 

On the other hand, we risk 

starting WW3 if we act, and no 

one wants a Global War that 

might end up destroying our 

planet. So, what we just wait? 

Sleepy Joe Biden – Then there’s 

our idiot president. Joe is simply 

in another world. His SOTU 

speech was 99% lies. He must 

think we’re all idiots to believe 

anything that comes out of his 

mouth. The American people are 

fed up with his crap and his refusal 

to address the real problem 

– HE is the PROBLEM! 

Inflation. Rising Prices of Fuel. 

Supply Problems. Open Border. 

I could go on, but you already 

know the problems and this idiot 

of a president is too stupid to 

fix them. As far as Putin and this 

war is concerned, all he had to 

do is stop buying oil from Russia 

and go back to America being 

energy independent. But rather 

than save our country from 

financial ruin, he rather appease 

the AOCs of the Democratic 

party. Their climate agenda is 

BS. They want to drive the cost 

of gasoline so high that you’re 

only choice is to buy an EV. The 

problem is, there aren’t enough 

EVs and charging stations to satisfy 

the demand. That’s literally 

5-10 years down the road. So, 

what, we’re supposed to pay $6 

a gallon in the meantime. Come 

on Man. You can’t be this stupid 


or maybe you are. Three years is 

a long damn time to wait for this 

crap to end. 

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy 

– The world’s hero of the 

day. This guy is the real deal. 

Unlike the president of Afghanistan 

who fled with tons of cash 

while his country was being 

overrun, Zelenskyy vowed to stay 

and fight for his people and his 

country. 

“I don’t need a ride, I need ammunition” 

That’s the quote you 

will remember forever. Zelenskyy 

could have fled to virtually 

anywhere in the world. But he’s a 

real man and a real leader. Even 

though Putin has hired hit men 

to seek him out and kill him, 

Zelenskyy is on the street fighting 

with his countrymen. Do you 

think our president would ever 

do that? Hell no. Joe would be 

The War Criminal 

the first guy on a helicopter out 

of here. 

Zelenskyy is a true modern-day 

hero. I hope and pray he 

can fight off Russian troops and 

maintain control of his country. 

I also pray that Putin isn’t successful 

in killing him. Because if 

“we wish 

we could 

be more 

like him” 

he does, and this hero is killed 

on TV for the world to see. I 

say nuke Putin and destroy his 

worthless ass. 

President Zelenskyy is what 

this world needs more of. A man 

who stands by his country and 

his people even if means dying 

THE HERO 

Ukrainian President, 

Volodymyr Zelenskyy 

Asleep at the Wheel 

in the process. The American 

people are praying for you, your 

family, and your country. 

In honor of President Zelenskyy 

and all of Ukraine, we are proud 

to display the Ukrainian flag 

throughout this month’s issue. 

God Bless Ukraine. 


FROM THE PUBLISHER’S DESK 

ON A POSITIVE NOTE 

10-YEAR “DJ” DANIEL ROCKS THE COVER 

I’ve been told, I never have anything 

positive to say. All doom and 

gloom! So, let’s start Spring Break 

and our 459th issue off on a positive 

note. 

I had the distinct pleasure of 

meeting young 10-year-old Devarjaye 

“DJ” Daniel a couple of weeks 

ago at a swearing in ceremony at 

Aldine ISD. Now you would think 

just being sworn in as an Aldine 

officer would be quite a feat for a 

10-year-old. But not if this is your 

200th time to do so in less than six 

months. It’s all in a day’s work for 

DJ. 

I’m sure by now, you’ve heard of 

DJ’s dream to become a police officer 

and be sworn in by 100 police 

departments. But he never imagined 

that 100 would soon be 300. 

Police chiefs and departments 

all across the country have come 

together to make this young man’s 

dream come true. And the fact he 

has terminal cancer doesn’t slow 

him down a bit. 

In today’s world where police 

are vilified and defunded, this 

young boy’s ambition and drive 

can’t help but bring a tear to your 

eye. Not because you feel sorry for 

him, but rather because you’re so 

damn proud of him, you wish he 

were your kid. 

The way he handles himself, 

the respect he shows not only for 

the police chiefs in the room, but 

really for every soul there. And the 

boy’s got jokes: 

“Mr. Mike why did the cops arrest 

a duck?” 

“I don’t know DJ, why did the cops 

arrest a duck? 

“Cause, he was selling quack on 

the corner.” LOL 

It was an honor and a pleasure to 

meet you DJ and we are proud to 

feature you on this month’s cover. 

A New Partnership 

There are a few things that haven’t 

changed in our 38-year history. 

One, we still have War story’s, 

Lightbulb Awards and Rusty Barron’s 

Off Duty Column. We honor 

EVERY fallen officer regardless 

of how his or her life might have 

ended, and we have the most loyal 

bunch of advertising supporters 

anyone could ever ask for. And 

while several have been along for 

the 38-year ride, only has supported 

us the entire time – Alan Helman 

and his family at River Oaks Chrysler, 

Dodge, Ram and Jeep. 

Alan and his dad before him, have 

always been our Number 1 supporter. 

Not only have they supported 

the magazine with advertising, but 

they have raised millions of dollars 

for law enforcement over the years. 

That’s why last year, we presented 

Alan with The BLUES’s first ever 

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD. His 

generosity is never ending. Whether 

it’s for the family of a deceased 

officer, an officer injured in the Line 

of Duty or even killed in a freak accident 

at home. Alan is and always 

will be the guy that makes things 

happen. And not just for cops 

either. When a young single mom 

comes in to purchase her dream 

car and finds out she only qualifies 

for a used car, Alan steps up 

and makes it happen. No-one and I 

mean no-one leaves his dealership 

unhappy. It’s a rarity to find a car 

dealership so dedicated to making 

people happy. 

I say all that to announce this. 

Alan and his son Blake are now the 

named sponsor of The BLUES. Like 

NRG is to a stadium and Minute 

maid is to a ballpark. From now 

on, it’s the Helfman Family presents 

The BLUES. It’s an honor to have 

them take on such a supportive 

role in this magazine and likewise 

we are just as supportive of all five 

of their dealerships. And I say that 

from experience. I have probably 

purchased more cars in my lifetime 

than anyone reading this magazine. 

The treatment from start to finish 

with Alan and his son Blake is simply 

the best you could hope to find 

when purchasing a car. Be sure and 

tell them The BLUES sent you. 

So, see, not doom and gloom. 

Spring is in the air. Be safe and God 

Bless and watch over all our brothers 

and sisters in BLUE. 


FROM THE GUEST EDITOR’S DESK 

 

THE AUSTIN 19 

Nineteen officers working tirelessly 

around the clock to protect 

you, your family and your property. 

And when mobs of angry 

protestors showed up, they stood 

their ground and protected your 

city with the tools that were given 

them. Followed orders given 

to them from their superiors. 

They held the Thin Blue line of 

good vs evil. 

They did everything they could, 

with what they were given. 

These men and women did their 

job. They did their duty. They 

did not allow these hoodlums to 

destroy our capital or your city. 

And now those very same citizens 

who you protected want to 

crucify you for doing your jobs. 

For following orders. No sir, it 

doesn’t work that way. 

You call yourself the “District 

Attorney” of Travis County. The 

Chief Law Enforcement Officer. 

Yet your distain for law 

enforcement, makes me believe 

you would make a better defense 

attorney. Out defending 

crooks rather than prosecuting 

them. Your liberal ass belongs in 

California not Texas. In Texas, we 

support our law enforcement officers, 

not punish them for doing 

their jobs. 

While this carnage was taking 

place, you and your family 

were safe at home watching the 

mayhem on TV. While the men 

and women of Austin PD were on 

the ground going toe to toe with 

those that wanted to do them 

harm. Meanwhile the families 

of these officers were praying 

to GOD asking Him to get them 

home safely. 

Now it seems you hate the 

police as much as the protestors. 

You’ve obviously presented 

slanted evidence to a Grand Jury 

convincing them these officers 

were out for blood. Evil monsters 

with a badge. You abandoned 

and turned on the very 

people who saved your damn 

city. We sure as hell didn’t see 

your ass out there trying to calm 

a rioting crowd. Nope. You left 

that to APD and then have the 

nerve to cut their throats? Nineteen 

officers indicted for doing 

what their superiors told them 

to do. 

As always, you carry on with 

the pathetic and false narrative 

of “Reform.” While innocent 

citizens are suffering, crying and 

even dying, you carry on like 

you’re some kind of hero. Mr. District 

Attorney, you are no hero. 

You are a heartless, disgusting 

piece of liberal trash that belongs 

anywhere but Texas. 

Until you are ready to serve 

and protect the citizens that 

elected you, I suggest you resign 

and do what you’re bested suited 

for. Protecting these scumbags, 

you love so much. Join the side 

you belong on. 

I’ll close with this. When the 

hordes of innocents come calling 

REX EVANS 

again and they will, the men and 

women of the Austin Police Department, 

Travis County Sheriff’s 

Office and the Texas Department 

of Public Safety will once again 

stand between those raging 

crowds and you. They’ll lay down 

their lives, if necessary, leaving 

their families behind, so you and 

your staff can go home to yours. 

EDITOR NOTE: 

As we went live with this edition, 

Governor Gregg Abbott said 

he was considering pardonening 

the 19 officers. The Governor 

stated they were protecting the 

citizens of Austin and following 

the orders of their supervisors as 

well as the chief of police. 

“Those officers should be 

praised for their efforts, not 

prosecuted,” Abbott said in 

a statement. “Time will tell 

whether the accusations against 

the courageous Austin police 

officers is a political sham. Time 

will also tell whether I, as Governor, 

must take action to exonerate 

any police officer unjustly 

prosecuted.” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

MORALE, RETENTION, AND RECRUITMENT 

The police profession now 

faces unprecedented challenging 

times in attracting and then 

keeping qualified and motivated 

talent. The officer shortage and 

possible solutions to the problem 

are common topics of discussion 

among law enforcement leaders. 

Often, shiny new ideas such as 

how to best exploit social media 

for recruiting are among the first 

things mentioned in discussions 

of how to fill the ranks. Nearly 

always the power of increased 

salaries and additional monetary 

benefits and incentives also 

come up during the conversation. 

But what is generally missed is 

the incredible power of morale 

within an agency, both to attract, 

and then to keep the right officers, 

as they evolve and grow 

through their careers. 

As the power and potential 

positive effect of morale is undisputedly 

vital, the next obvious 

question becomes: How do we 

increase it? 

Often, chiefs and sheriffs with 

righteous motives will attempt 

to invigorate morale from their 

position with inspiring emails 

and platitudes that usually fall 

flat among their officers. A predictable 

“Keep up the good work! 

We’re all in this together!” email 

sent out to the troops during 

business hours is certainly a kind 

thing to do, but it has no effect 

on morale. True morale is always 

and only stoked at the squad 

level. That makes the position of 

sergeant or first-line supervisor 

the singular most important person 

determining the morale of a 

law enforcement agency. 

For some sergeants, motivation 

and team building comes naturally. 

We have all served under 

that one boss who just has “it”— 

that intangible, mystical quality 

that attracts hard workers, 

compels excellence, and draws 

the best out of his officers. Those 

sergeants are few and far between 

and should never be taken 

for granted. But for the overwhelming 

majority of sergeants 

who care deeply about their 

agency and their team, what can 

they do to invigorate morale? 

First of all, heed George Washington’s 

famous advice on leadership: 

“Listen, learn, and help… 

then lead.” The surest way to begin 

to instill positivity and pride 

in a small unit or squad is for the 

boss to work as hard, and often 

harder, than the officers. Morale 

can be quickly and irreversibly 

assassinated by lazy sergeants 

who choose to simply critique, 

criticize, demean, and rely solely 

on their positional authority as 

the supervisor. 

First-line leaders should be 

on the street, rubbing elbows 

with their officers as they strive 

to serve and protect, together. 

Sergeants should keep their 

hands dirty in the daily struggles 

of a shift alongside their officers, 

and never choose to quarterback 

from an office chair by way 

of cell phone. Young, impressionable 

officers will generally 

catch the fire, and take up the 

challenge of serving beside a 

sergeant who is a legitimate 

force multiplier as a real cop, as 

well as a good-hearted boss. 

Listen. Learn. Help. Then lead. 

Second, make work fun. If that 

sounds naïve and simplistic, it 

may be because we have lost our 

creativity and vision. Police work 

is chock full of hilarity and few 

things bond teams like shared 

enjoyment. As F. Scott Fitzgerald 

once wrote, our profession 

grants us “riotous excursions 

with privileged glimpses into the 

human heart.” Calls for service 

when unorthodox and innovative 

measures are used to solve residents’ 

problems can often become 

comical. “Remember that 

call when we…” should be the 

soundtrack of every roll call. 

Similarly, infusing good-natured 

competition into a small 

team is always enjoyable, and 

bonding. Range drills, foot races, 

or even speedy handcuffing 

competitions will unify a squad 

like few other things. Our job is 

often dark and morbid, but sergeants 

should never miss an opportunity 

to create and encourage 

fun. Morale grows alongside 

enjoyment. 

Finally, sergeants should avoid 

micromanagement like a plague, 

all the while encouraging personal 

ownership and sovereignty 

of their officers. When an officer 

knows wholeheartedly that his 

decision-making and discretion 

is trusted by the sergeant, 

a powerful bond of trust gets 

cemented. Every time an officer 

calls her sergeant with a question, 

and instead of giving her 

a rote solution, he asks, “What 

is your recommendation?”, her 

confidence and appreciation 

increases. Morale is allergic to 

micromanagement, no matter 

the profession. 

Next comes the question of 

what chiefs and sheriffs can do 

to reinvigorate morale. Without 

a doubt, agencies should invest 

heavily in the development of 

their sergeants and first-line 

leaders. Too often, agencies 

promote young officers into 

supervisory positions, task them 

with leading properly, and never 

equip them with tools to make 

that happen. Initiating ongoing 

leadership mentoring programs, 

recommended reading lists on 

effective leadership, and tracking 

the development of young 

leaders and catering programs 

to further their efficacy are all 

vital and worthwhile endeavors. 

Powerful leadership is most 

often a learned skill, and agencies 

should build up their firstline 

leaders, as they are the ones 

most vital in spurring morale. 

The reputation of your agency 

is powerful, for good or for bad. 

When young recruits scan the 

horizon for which department 

they will choose to pursue as 

their career, they will be drawn 

to those with healthy morale. As 

the five- to 10-year veterans near 

the point in their careers when 

lateralling to other agencies is a 

viable option, robust morale can 

often keep them tethered. Finally, 

increased department-wide 

morale will help shore up an 

agency that most confidently and 

competently serves its residents.

TRAGEDY STRIKES 

AGAIN IN HOUSTON 

San Jacinto Pct. 1 Constable Deputy Killed 

while working extra job at PlazAmericas Mall. 

HOUSTON – San Jacinto Precinct 

1 Deputy Constable Neil 

Adams was just a few hours 

from finishing his last shift at the 

PlazAmericas Mall on Wednesday 

February 23, when he was 

shot and killed. 

The 62-year-old law deputy 

had been working an extra job at 

the mall for quite some time and 

told his wife it was becoming 

way too dangerous, and this was 

going to be his last day. 

According to HPD Chief Troy 

Finner, a few minutes before 4 

p.m., Adams was called to the 

Casanova Collezioni store for 

a disturbance involving a man 

identified as 35-year-old Czyz 

Harrison. Adams attempted to 

detain the subject and Harrsion 

began fighting Adams and at 

some point, was able to gain 

control of the deputy’s gun. Harrison 

then shot and killed Adams. 

Just minutes before the shooting, 

Harrison had posted selfies 

on his social media, showing 

him trying on multiple outfits inside 

the store on his on what he 

claimed was his 35th 

birthday. As he was 

attempting to pay for 

his purchases, something 

caused the 

store staff to contract 

the mall security 

and requested an 

officer come to their 

store. 

When Adams arrived, 

he approached 

the suspect and 

that’s when the altercation 

began. 

Witnesses on the 

scene said, “We 

heard five shots right 

there too and that’s 

when we started 

just running to the 

back of the store,” 

said one worker who 

shared cell phone 

video of gunshots. 

“There were kids 

here too, with families.” 

The worker who 

witnessed the gunfire 

said Adams was a constant 

presence at the PlazAmericas 

mall, working as a security 

officer. Precinct 1 Constable 

Roy Rogers, for whom Adams 

worked, said he had to work 

extra jobs to supplement his less 

than $40,000 a year salary. 

“It’s a shame you can’t make a 

living doing what you love doing,” 

said Rogers. 

HPD officers responding to an 

officer down at the mall, arrived 

and found the shooter at 

the food court. When they approached 

him, the suspect was 

carrying a knife and “came at the 

officers.” The officers shot the 

suspect, however Finner said he 

got up and tried to flee, so they 

fired a taser at him. The suspect 

continued to resist, and officers 

eventually were able to place 

him into custody.” He was transported 

to a local hospital and 

later died. 

At a press conference later 

that evening, with HPD Chief 

Troy Finner and San Jacinto Pct. 

1 Constable Roy Rogers, Rogers 

held back tears during his remarks, 

calling Deputy Constable 

Adams a hero. “He’s a hero,” he 

said. “And we want to honor 

him.” 

Finner also took a brief moment 

to offer condolences for 

the officer’s loved ones left behind. 

“I ask that everybody pray for 

this beautiful family,” he said. 

“Pray for law enforcement families, 

our cities, our counties, and 

our nation.” 

Amid an outpouring of support 

from several other law 

enforcement officials, Deputy 

Adams’ wife, shared heartbreaking 

testimony but also asked for 

support to the other officers like 

her husband. 

“My husband always said that 

you can either be a sheep or 

sheepdog. And I want everybody 

to pray for all the sheepdogs 

out there that are protecting 

everybody,” she said. “They get 

a bad rap, and they just want to 

protect you. That’s what they 

want to do in their heart. And 

everybody’s turned their back on 

them. And everybody should pray 

for all of them because they’re 

here for you.”

HELICOPTER CRASH 

Huntington Beach Police are mourning the loss of 

one of their when one of their helicopters crashed 

in Newport Harbor, killing Officer Nicholas Vella. 

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Investigators 

are still trying to 

determine the cause of a Huntington 

Beach Police helicopter 

crash in Newport Harbor that 

killed one officer and injured 

another. 

The officer who died in the 

Saturday, February 19th crash, 

was identified as 44-year-old 

veteran Officer Nicholas Vella, 

according to the Huntington 

Beach Police Department. Vella 

was the observer at the time of 

the crash. 

The pilot, who has not yet been 

identified, was released from the 

hospital the day after the crash. 

Jennifer Carey, the Huntington 

Beach spokeswoman, said the 

wreckage was pulled from the 

water late Sunday afternoon. 

The National Transportation 

Safety Board is the lead agency 

investigating the accident, 

and the Orange County Sheriff 

‘s Department ‘s Major Accident 

Reconstruction Team will be 

conducting its own investigation, 

Carey said. 

The pilot made a brief call to 

report that the helicopter was 

experiencing 

mechanical 

issues, before 

calling again 

to say that 

they were going 

to crash, 

said NTSB 

spokesperson 

Elliott Simpson 

during a 

Sunday news 

conference. 

“Right now, it 

appears to be 

a nose-down 

descent into 

the water, “ 

Simpson said. 

The cause 

of the crash 

will be determined 

at 

the end of 

the NTSB’s 

investigation, 

which could take 12 to 18 

months, NTSB spokesperson Eric 

Weiss said. 

“We look at not only what 

happened, but we try to figure 

out why it happened, “ Weiss 

said, explaining that the agency’s 

investigative process looks at 

human, machine and environmental 

factors. “By figuring out 

why it happened, you can maybe 

prevent future accidents.” 

A Huntington Beach Police helicopter is lifted out of the water in Newport Beach, Calif. 

Huntington Beach Police Chief 

Eric Parra described Vella as “an 

officer that was truly dedicated 

to the job and was doing what 

he loved doing.” Vella was a 16- 

year veteran of the force and had 

previously worked as a police 

officer in Laguna Beach, Parra 

said. 

One witness described the craft 

as clearly in distress and at least 

partly out of control just before 

landing in the water about 10 to 

20 feet offshore. The helicopter, 

called HB1, went down in the 

vicinity of the Lido Peninsula, 

according to the flight- tracker 

website adsbexchange.com. 

The helicopter had been dispatched 

from Huntington Beach, 

Parra said, on a “disturbance 

fight call “ from Newport Beach, 

which contracts for aerial assistance 

as needed with the neighboring 

city. 

The call about the crash came 

in about 6:30 p.m. Saturday, 

Carey said. Newport Beach police 

were monitoring the radio 

broadcast and had help at the 

scene “instantaneously, “ said 

Newport Beach Police Chief Jon 

T. Lewis, who also was at the 

news conference. 

A witness described the minutes 

leading up to the crash. 

“We were driving over here, 

and we heard the pitch of the 

helicopter, “ the unidentified 

witness told KCAL-TV Channel 9 

news. “And it sounded like a helicopter 

was in distress. And then 

when we looked at the helicopter, 

it was out of control. And it 

was obvious that the helicopter 

was going to go down. And it did 

go down and almost immediately 

sunk.” 

Video recorded at the scene 

shows the craft lying on its side, 

mostly submerged, as rescuers 

worked frantically to free the 

officers. One officer was able to 

emerge quickly and walk away 

with assistance onto the beach. 

Getting to the second took longer. 

Both were transported to 

local hospitals. 

The Huntington Beach Police 

Department has three helicopters 

and typically keeps one 

in operation 24 hours a day. 

The two other aircraft will be 

grounded pending an inspection 

and the preliminary investigation, 

Parra said. 

“This is truly a really heartbreaking 

time for all of us here 

in Huntington Beach, “ Mayor 

Barbara Delgleize said. “Our 

community values our police 

department, and the loss of an 

officer hits us all really hard.” 

The Huntington Beach Police 

Department Air Support Unit 

was formed in 1968. Huntington 

Beach was the first city in Orange 

County and the fifth in the nation 

to use helicopters for public 

safety service, according to the 

city. 



FOLLOWING ORDERS 

GETS 19 INDICTED 

19 Austin Officers accused of excessive force during the 2020 

George Floyd protests, were indicted by a Grand Jury in Travis County. 

Nearly two years after demonstrators 

and police clashed in 

Austin during nationwide protests 

sparked by the murder of 

George Floyd, a Travis County 

grand jury indicted 19 officers 

accused of excessive force, 

according to the police union. 

Austin officials agreed to a $10 

million settlement with two men 

who had been struck with the 

beanbag rounds. 

“We believe many protesters 

injured by law enforcement 

officers during the protest were 

innocent bystanders. We also 

believe that the overwhelming 

majority of victims in the incidents 

that were investigated 

suffered significant injuries,” 

Travis County District Attorney 

José Garza said during a press 

conference held last month announcing 

the indictments. “Some 

will never fully recover.” 

The names of the officers being 

indicted are not yet public record. 

Garza said that his office is 

prohibited by law to disclose details 

of an indictment until that 

person is arrested and booked 

into jail. 

Austin Police Association president 

Kenneth Casaday confirmed 

to The Texas Tribune that 19 officers 

have been indicted. 

One of the officers indicted 

was Justin Berry, a candidate for 

the Hill Country’s Texas House 

District 19, according to Casaday. 

The number of indictments 

is among the highest tied to a 

single city’s police force in connection 

with the 2020 protests so 

far, according to the Associated 

Press. 

In an interview last month, 

before the grand jury handed out 

any indictments, Sandra Guerra 

Thompson, a professor at the 

University of Houston Law Center, 

said it would be surprising if 

such a high number of officers 

were charged with crimes. 

“Historically, we’ve seen a 

reluctance by grand jurors to 

charge police officers criminally 

for use of force on the job, just 

because of the sense that they’re 

putting their lives at risk and 

protecting the public,” Thompson 

said. “Those kinds of views have 

usually worked in their favor.” 

The cases could take months or 

years to resolve. 

In a short press conference, 

Austin Police Chief Joseph 

Chacon defended his officers 

and chided Garza for remarking 

on “anticipated indictments.” 

Flanked by APD command staff 

and city higher-ups, including 

City Manager Spencer Cronk, 

Chacon said officers were overwhelmed 

by crowds that were 

often “riotous and violent” — 

and that “less-lethal” weapons 

used for crowd control “did not 

perform in all instances in the 

manner anticipated.” 

“I am not aware of any conduct 

that, given the circumstances 

that the officers were working 

under, would rise to the level 

of a criminal violation by these 

officers,” Chacon said. “We are 

at the beginning of the criminal 

justice process. As we move 

forward, these officers must be 

afforded all of the same protections 

of any defendant, including 

the presumption of innocence 

and the right to a speedy trial.” 

The department has since 

stopped the use of less-lethal 

weapons. 

Cronk, the city’s top executive, 

warned that “any indictments 

will heighten the anxiety of our 

officers” and exacerbate the police 

department’s staffing shortages. 

“We are disappointed to be 

in this position, and we do not 

believe that criminal indictments 

of the officers working under 

very difficult circumstances is 

the correct outcome,” Cronk said 

in a statement. 

Casaday said that the indicted 

officers were following orders 

and shouldn’t be held responsible 

for any injuries during the 

protests. 

“These officers were only doing 

what they were told to do with 

what the city of Austin provided 

them during the days of the 

riots,” he said. 

Casaday accused Garza of 

attempting to score political 

points. The police union is asking 

Garza’s office to stop announcing 

indictments until after 

the Democratic primary and 

runoffs. 

“It’s an absolute disgrace, and 

it sickens me that DA Garza is 

using working officers as pawns 

in a political game of chess,” 

Casaday said during a press 

conference Thursday afternoon. 

“Garza ran on a platform to indict 

officers and has not missed 

the opportunity to try and ruin 

lives, careers and simply fulfill a 

campaign promise.” 

Garza was elected in 2020 

following the protests and ran 

on a campaign promising to 

hold law enforcement accountable. 

His current term stretches 

through 2024. 

The indictments also drew 

criticism from the nation’s largest 

police officer association. 

“Nothing more than a political 

attack on 19 officers who 

were already cleared by their 

department of any wrongdoing,” 

tweeted Joe Gamaldi, national 

vice president of the Fraternal 

Order of Police. 

Also on Thursday, under a 

settlement unanimously approved 

by the Austin City Council, 

demonstrator Justin Howell will 

receive $8 million — the highest 

amount ever awarded in an 

excessive force case involving an 

Austin police officer, the Statesman 

reported. Anthony Evans, 

another protester, will get $2 

million. 

Both men sued the city after 

suffering severe head injuries in 

May 2020, when Austin police 

officers fired on demonstrators 

protesting police brutality in the 

wake of the police killings of 

George Floyd in Minneapolis and 

Michael Ramos in Austin. 

Howell, then a 20-year-old 

Texas State University student, 

had a fractured skull and brain 

damage, his brother said at the 

time. 



HANSEN GETS HIS 

MAN AFTER 30 YRS. 

Galveston County Lt. Tommy Hansen finally arrested a 

man who slit his girlfriend’s three decades ago. 

GALVESTON — It may have 

taken three decades, but a Tommy 

Hansen isn’t one to give up 

on anything and after nearly 

30-years he finally got his man; 

Luis Calderon is once again behind 

bars in Galveston County. 

Calderon was wanted for kidnapping 

and attempted murder, 

accused of slitting his girlfriend’s 

throat and leaving her for dead 

in 1991. 

Calderon arrived at the Galveston 

County jail last month, 

escorted by Galveston County 

Sheriff’s Office Lieutenant Tommy 

Hansen - the cold case detective 

who’s been on top of the 

case for 30 years - and members 

of the warrant division. 

“Every investigator throughout 

their career has cases that haunt 

you and we all have several of 

those and I have a number of 

them,” Hansen said. “This was 

a horrific crime and it was a 

tedious process of locating him. 

We felt for many years that he 

was still in the states but as time 

progressed, our investigation 

After 30 years, Lt. Galveston County Lt. Tommy Hansen 

escorted fugitive Luis Calderon back to jail. 

led us, thanks to records we got 

from ICE, to El Salvador.” 

Calderon first went on the run 

in 1991 after skipping out on bail 

in the case involving the kidnapping 

and attempted murder 

of Diane Sanchez, his girlfriend 

at the time. A hot shot driver, 

Earl Pugh, happened to find the 

severely injured woman on the 

side of the road only because he 

was turning around to head back 

to Galveston because of truck 

problems. 

Officials said Calderon was able 

to get out of jail because a judge 

granted a bond reduction request 

that allowed him to be released 

even as prosecutors argued that 

he was a flight risk. 

In 2019, Hansen finally tracked 

Calderon down in El Salvador, 

where the suspect had family 

connections. Still, it would be almost 

another year before Hansen 

would be able to get Calderon 

into custody. 

With the assistance of the FBI, 

the US Department of Justice, 

Interpol and the Immigration 

and Customs Enforcement and 

Galveston County, Calderon was 

apprehended in El Salvador on 

Feb. 11, 2020. 

Calderon was jailed in El 

Salvador and has been awaiting 

extradition back to the United 

States ever since. 

Hansen said the process just 

to get Calderon back into Texas 

was an ordeal in itself. He explained 

they had to go through a 

lot of “red tape” and credits Sen. 

Ted Cruz and President Nayib 

Bukele, the president of El Salvador. 

Sen Cruz’s Office sent the following 

statement: “I am thankful 

to President Bukele, the government 

of El Salvador and the 

Galveston County Sheriff’s Office 

for their work in facilitating 

Calderon’s transfer. This sends 

a clear message to any fugitive 

of the law: you will be brought 

to justice. Today is a testament 

to the importance of America’s 

bilateral regional partnerships 

grounded in mutual interest of 

the apprehension of this individual 

and the appreciation of the 

rule of law.” 

A bond hearing was held for 

Calderon Tuesday morning, at 

which time, the judge placed a 

$1 million bond for each charge. 

Hansen said, while on the run, 

Calderon started a new life for 

himself. He is now 56 years old. 

“It looks like he had a normal 

life. He had a family, had two kids 

he raised. His life was in motion,” 

Hansen explained. Meanwhile, his 

victim lived on edge, not knowing 

if she would ever be safe. 

Hansen said they did not 

“breathe easily” until they knew 

he was on the plane and heading 

back to Texas. He said they did 

not notify the victim until they 

knew things were completely 

secure and spoke with her again 

two minutes before holding a 

press conference. 

With the most recent news 

regarding Calderon, his ex-girlfriend 

- a survivor in every sense 

of the word - said she can now 

sleep at night. 



APTS. FOR RECRUITS 

City of Atlanta opens new, first if its kind, apartment 

complex for new police cadets. 

By Wilborn P. Nobles III 

ATLANTA — Atlanta police 

recruits have a new place to call 

home after officials celebrated 

the opening of the Unity Place 

åuse at least 30 officers in training. 

It is located at 744 North 

Ave., in the English Avenue community. 

City officials call the complex 

the first of its kind nationwide. 

They consider it a proactive form 

of community policing in an area 

that was once riddled with so 

much crime and disinvestment 

that it was derogatively called 

“The Bluff.” 

But Byron Amos, the new city 

councilmember for the area, 

praised the new facility as the 

latest of several transformative 

developments in the English Avenue 

and Vine City communities. 

“Three or four years ago, this 

was an old rundown apartment 

complex that the city acquired,” 

said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. 

“And here we are right 

now...Having a place where cadets 

can live.” 

The building offers cadets 

1-to-4-bedroom units on a 

first-come, first-served basis 

during their 

weeks-long 

process of 

training. It 

has three 

floors and 

a basement-level 

lounge that 

will be filled 

with gym 

equipment, 

and furniture 

to provide 

space 

for community meetings. 

Seven recruits moved into the 

building last night and more will 

come later this month, said Karen 

Rogers, director of development 

and community programs 

for the Atlanta Police Foundation. 

She said the facility would 

have cost $7 million to build, but 

several developers did the work 

pro bono. 

After the city’s ribbon-cutting 

ceremony, some of the recruits 

toured the apartment for the first 

time. 

Atlanta Police Foundation 

President & CEO Dave Wilkinson 

said his organization is also 

working with the city and developers 

to build up to 50 houses 

for the city officers by year’s end. 

So far, 25 houses are built or 

under construction, and he said 

the officers living in them can 

receive up to a $500 monthly 

stipend by participating in community 

events. when they report 

how often they’ve participated in 

events in their community. 

Thelma Reneau, a lifelong English 

Avenue resident and treasurer 

of the neighborhood association, 

said she’s thrilled to see 

more officers in the community. 

“I’m gonna get to know them,” 

said Reneau, 75. “I bake cakes, so 

I’m gonna bring them cakes and 

cupcakes.” 



EX CHIEF ARRESTED 

AFTER FAKING DEATH 

Chadbourn, NC – A former 

North Carolina police chief with 

40 outstanding warrants was 

arrested early Thursday morning 

after allegedly attempting to 

fake his own death, according to 

investigators. 

Former Chadbourn Police 

Chief Anthony Spivey, 36, failed 

to show up to court earlier in 

February to answer to one of the 

multiple criminal cases pending 

against him, WECT reported. 

Spivey claimed he couldn’t 

attend because he was suffering 

from COVID, so the hearing was 

reset to Feb. 21. 

When Spivey also skipped 

out on the rescheduled hearing, 

his attorney told the court his 

client was missing and that he 

had possibly committed suicide, 

WECT reported. 

The Columbus County Sheriff’s 

Office (CCSO) said it received a 

report Monday from North Carolina 

Wildlife Resources Commission 

(NCWRC) officers about 

a boat they found abandoned in 

the Lumber River. 

The NCWRC officers determined 

the boat belonged to 

Spivey and said he was last seen 

driving a truck in the area where 

the boat was spotted, WECT 

reported. 

CCSO investigators said they 

located handwritten letters at 

the scene and found a .22-caliber 

rifle in the boat. 

A discharged round was found 

inside the firearm, according to 

police. 

“Deputies arrived on the scene, 

along with Sheriff’s Office Investigators 

and Special Operations 

Units, including the Man Tracking 

and Dive Units,” the CCSO said 

in a press release, according to 

WECT. “As the Sheriff’s Office 

began to search the area, investigators 

spoke to Spivey’s friends 

and family who were at the 

scene. Investigators began collecting 

evidence. Family members 

described the incident as a 

possible suicide.” 

But the CCSO believed the 

scene was a farce. 

“Investigators quickly concluded 

that the evidence collected 

did not support a suicide scenario,” 

the sheriff’s office said. 

“As investigators collected video 

from surveillance systems and 

conducted interviews, it became 

even more apparent that the 

scene on the river was staged.” 

The CCSO still utilized dive 

crews to search the river and 

sent tracking teams into the 

woods to look for the missing 

former police chief, WECT reported. 

“Search and rescue crews conducted 

searches for three days, 

including several agencies assisting 

with aerial coverage, K9 

sniffing, and sonar scanning,” the 

CCSO said. “Meanwhile, Criminal 

Investigators were conducting a 

separate investigation.” 

The North Carolina State Bureau 

of Investigation (NCSBI) 

and the U.S. Marshals Service 

(USMS) joined in the effort and 

began looking into leads indicating 

Spivey was still alive, WECT 

reported. 

Investigators received a tip on 

Wednesday that the disgraced 

former police chief was hiding 

out at a family member’s home 

in Loris, South Carolina, and obtained 

a warrant for his arrest. 

They headed over to an apartment 

complex on Watson Heritage 

Road where Spivey’s aunt, 

Brenda Rowele, resides, WECT 

reported. 

Spivey was found submerged 

in a creek behind the complex, 

attempting to hide, according to 

police. 

Police ordered him to come 

out of the water with his hands 

raised, but as the suspect walked 

up onto a dry, wooded area, he 

allegedly reached towards his 

waistband and told the officers 

they would have to shoot him, 

The Horry Independent reported. 

Investigators said he was taken 

into custody at approximately 

12:45 a.m. after a brief foot 

pursuit and physical altercation, 


Rowele told police she had no 

idea Spivey skipped out on his 

court appearance. 

She claimed he called her the 

night before his hearing and said 

he was having marital problems 

and that he was thinking about 

committing suicide, according to 

police. 

Rowele said she discouraged 

him from harming himself and 

told him to come to her home 

for a few days, WECT reported. 

“I was told different stories, 

but I do know, and I will state to 

the fact that he is not no drug 

addict like they say he is,” she 

declared. “Columbus County 

cops is doing him wrong.” 

Spivey resigned from his 

position as chief of the Chadbourn 

Police Department (CPD) 

in April of 2021, shortly before 

he was arrested on 73 counts 

stemming from allegations 

that he repeatedly raided the 

department’s evidence room 

and stole tens of thousands 

of dollars in cash, a variety of 

narcotics, and multiple firearms, 

WECT reported at the time. 

Those offenses allegedly occurred 

between Aug. 18, 2018, 

and March 4, 2021. 

He was hit with another 

charge in June of 2021 for 

allegedly embezzling $8,000 

from funds donated to a family 

whose son died from leukemia, 


Spivey managed to post 

$500,000 bond in August of 

2021 but was arrested on new 

charges in January for allegedly 

stealing catalytic converters 

from the Tarbor City auto repair 

shop where he was working as 

a mechanic. 

He again posted bond. 

Spivey was booked into the J. 

Reuben Long Detention Center 

in Horry County on Thursday 

pending extradition back to 

North Carolina, WECT reported. 

He had 40 outstanding warrants 

with a total bond of $1 

million. 

The CCSO said he is expected 

to face additional charges. 

Two additional suspects connected 

with Spivey’s case were 

arrested by Columbus County 

deputies on Thursday, WECT 

reported. 

Debbie Sasser and her husband, 

Dean Sasser, were both 

charged with obstruction of 

justice and were being held on 

$100,000 bond. 



HEADS UP ! 

POTTER GETS 24-MOS. 

Former Police Officer Kimberly 

Potter was sentenced 

to 24 months, 16 months 

to be served incarcerated, 

in the shooting death of 

Daunte Wright last year. 

The judge said Potter will 

be given credit for 58 days 

already served and will pay 

$1,000 fine, plus a $78 surcharge. 

Potter, 49, was convicted 

of first- and second-degree 

manslaughter in 20-yearold 

Wright’s killing during 

a traffic stop, with Potter 

claiming she accidentally 

drew her gun instead of her 

Taser. 

Hennepin County Judge 

Regina Chu sentenced Potter 

to 24 months in prison 

on Friday — a significant 

downward departure from 

sentencing guidelines. Potter 

was sentenced on the 

higher count, per MN law. 

“This is a cop who made 

a tragic mistake,” Chu said, 

noting it is not the same as 

the deaths of George Floyd 

or Justine Ruszczyk Damond. 

She said the Potter’s 

conduct was less serious 

than a typical manslaughter 

case. 

Rogue tire slams into patrol car windshield. 

By Bret Pallotto 

Centre Daily Times 

SPRING TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A 

pair of Spring Township police 

officers avoided injury Monday 

after a tire detached from a pickup 

truck and smashed into the 

windshield of their SUV. 

Two officers were monitoring 

traffic Monday from a median 

along the 1300 block of Zion 

Road when the rear driver-side 

tire from a pickup 

truck heading westbound detached 

and slammed into the 

windshield, the department 

wrote on Facebook. 

The tire caromed off the 

hood of the car, into the windshield 

and off of the opposite 

side of the road without hitting 

any other vehicles, 

The vehicle was extensively 

damaged, police wrote. The department 

did not have an estimate 

of repair costs as of Monday 

evening, police Chief Adam 

Salyards wrote in a text message. 

The driver of the pickup 

truck was not issued a citation. 

Salyards wrote the crash was a 

“freak accident.”

EL MERCADITO 

MEXICAN FOOD 

The Blues is all about promoting 

businesses that support 

first responders especially 

those OWNED by first 

responders. Each month, 

we’ll feature a new place to 

eat that truly appreciate the 

sacrifices you make for your 

community and your family. 

And have great food. 

We begin with a non-traditional 

restaurant but one 

that joins a growing list 

of must try food places in 

Houston. Antojitos El Mercadito, 

is owned by Rubi 

Gabriel, whos’ husband is a 

Harris County deputy constable. 

Based in a stateof-the-art 

food truck, El 

Mercadito is parked near 

downtown Houston at a location 

known to just about 

every cop in Houston – Central 

Police Supply. 

Did you know what Antojitos 

means in Spanish? 

In Mexico, there’s a vast 

family of foods known as 

Antojitos, which means 

little cravings. Antojitos are 

street snacks or appetizers. 

They’re usually small, savory 

bites intended as precursors 

to the main meal or 

as late-night snacks. 

Years ago, you’d have to be 

insane to eat anything that 

came from a food truck. 

But today, some of the best 

food from aspiring young 

chefs can be found in these 

new, fully equipped restaurants 

on wheels. And Antojitos 

food trucks have begun 

popping up everywhere, 

some in dedicated food 

courts, that draw thousands 

each day to see what 

new mouth-watering items 

are on their ever-changing 

menus. 

At El Mercadito, chef and 

owner Rubi Gabriel prepares 

original Mexican favorites 

that rival some of the 

best TEX-MEX restaurants 

around Houston. BLUES editor 

Rex Evans stopped by El 

Mercadito to sample some 

of many dishes and he says 

there is nothing on the menu 

that isn’t 100% delicious. 

They have Gorditas with 

Bistek, Al Pastor or Chicken. 

Quesadillas with Bistek, 

Al Pastor or Chicken. Street 

tacos with Bistek, Al Pastor, 

Chicken or Chorizo. 

Huaraches with Bistek or 

Al Pastor. And my personal 

favorite is Quesabirrias with 

Steak and Beef Broth. They 

also list their specialties 

as Pambazos, Doraditas De 

Papa and Flautas. 

The bottom line is no matter 

what you choose, you 

want to come back again 

and again to try something 

new. 

El Mercadito is open Monday 

– Friday, 10am – 4:30pm 

El Mercadito is currently located at 

1410 Washington Ave, in the parking 

lot of Central Police Supply. 



CENTRAL POLICE 

SUPPLY 

You’d have to go a mighty long 

ways back to find the origins 

of Central Police Supply Store, 

located at the corner of Houston 

and Washington Avenues. Conveniently 

located, right across 

from the old Central Headquarters 

of the Houston Police Department. 

Now to be fair, it wasn’t always 

called Central Police Supply. It’s 

original name was “F-15”. And it 

wasn’t always located in the red 

brick building it has been housed 

in for the last 20 years either. 

Though it’s always been located 

at that intersection, it was once 

housed in the smaller gray stone 

and brick building immediately 

adjacent to the current building. 

There were multiple owners, 

all Houston Police Officers, and 

they had gone in together on the 

original ‘F15’ business. Well time 

and fate dwindled the number 

of ‘partners’ in the business until 

the longest running partner, 

Officer Ray Simper, was the sole 

survivor of the original group. 

Over the years, a LOT of Officers, 

Deputies, Troopers, State 

and Federal Agents have all 

made a stop into Central Police 

Supply. I can’t possibly remember 

all the times I have been 

there over the last 30 plus years. 

I always had to have the latest 

and greatest “thing” or “whatchamacallit”. 

There were a few times some 

snap broke, some light stopped 

working or a jacket had a hole 

in it and it was always easier to 

just stop in at Central and get 

what I needed fixed, repaired, 

serviced or replaced! A few 

times, the folks there proved to 

be a “lifesaver” of sorts when 

you work evenings or nights and 

your SL-20 stopped charging 

or working. They would always 

repair it right then and there. 

I’ll even admit, there was a 

time or two, I had gone in with 

holes in my boots, uniform, or 

jacket and Ray or one of the 

girls would let ‘charge’ new pair 

until payday. It wasn’t often mind 

you, but the two or three times 

over 30 years I could charge 

something, kept me returning 

as a faithful and loyal customer. 

Not so much for the convenience, 

as the leniency and compassion 

they always had for their customers. 

No one there ever had 

to help me. They did so because 

they knew me and they knew I 

would always show up with cash 

and a dozen donuts. My way of 

saying “Thank you” for the grace 

given unto me when I needed it. 

Nowadays, such customer 

service isn’t really afforded 

anywhere on this planet! Which 

I understand. Times and people 

have changed. Hell, the whole 

world has changed. One thing 

that hasn’t changed, is the fact 

Central Police Supply remains 

open and active at the intersection 

of Houston and Washington 

Avenue. And Officers, Deputies, 

Troopers, Federal and State 

Agents are still walking in, getting 

whatever they need, buying 


the latest and greatest, and the 

whatchamacallits they just had 

to have! 

For a business in the City of 

Houston, that’s quite an accomplishment. 

When it comes to 

Law Enforcement, we haven’t 

exactly kept our rich, dedicated 

and oftentimes quite interesting 

history alive. Central Police Supply 

is a testament to over a half 

century of service to those who, 

Serve and Protect. 

On a personal, one day in a 

pouring thunderstorm, I stopped 

in for one of those long “Duster 

style” raincoats. I had just 

enough money for it. Ray was 

over attending to something 

else as the girl rang me up. But 

he stopped what he was doing 

and mentioned the holes in the 

sides of my boots where they 

had become separated. With the 

raging thunderstorm going on 

outside he said “What size boot 

do you wear?” I told him and 

within about a minute he walked 

back over with a brand new pair 

of boots in the box. He told me 

to take off my soaked, torn up 

boots and put on the new ones. 

I explained to him I only had 

enough money to get the coat, I 

didn’t have money for the boots. 

He went on to tell me he didn’t 

ask me about money, he simply 

couldn’t and wouldn’t let a cop 

come in with boots like that and 

walk out in a middle of thunderstorm 

with the same worn out 

boots on. He said “I know when 

payday is…just come back and 

see me then, ok?” I thank him, 

switched to new and dry boots 

and went back to work. I’ll never 

forgot his kindness and I’ll never 

shop anywhere else. Such moments 

are all but a rarity these 

days, locked away to history. Not 

all “Old School” was bad. Not at 

all…. 

Over the years, Central became 

a second home to hundreds if 

not thousands of officers. In 

the almost half of century that 

Central and F15 have been in 

business, they have outfitted officers 

with damn near everything 

they could ever need. When we 

relaunched the BLUES a year ago, 

I ran across a video that Greg 

Smith made about Ray and the 

history of Central Police Supply. 

(see attached link) It’s a great 

video that gives insight into Ray’s 

history as an HPD police officer 

and his involvement with F15 

and later as the owner of Central 

Police Supply. 

I was out of town in August 

when a friend called me and 

said Ray had passed away. I was 

truly saddened by the news. Ray 

was always like an older brother 

to me and I wish that I had 

made it a point to visit him over 

the years. I am however thrilled 

to see his daughter Jacqueline 

running the family business. I 

know Ray was so proud when 

Jacqueline wanted to take over 

as manager and she is every bit 

as smart as her old man. 

Finally, I’d like to thank Jacqueline 

and the staff at Central 

Police Supply for once again 

placing their trust in the BLUES to 

promote a true legend in Houston. 

I think Ray would be proud 

of the “digital” version of the 

BLUES and the fact we choose 

the correct color of blue for The 

Central Logo. 

Remember when it come to 

police supplies, Central is a onestop 

shop. Especially if you work 

for HPD, HCSO or any of the local 

Harris County Constables, Central 

has all the gear you need. 

If you are looking for an 

off-duty gun or a long rifle, 

Central has GLOCK BLUE LABEL 

pricing and nearly every model 

in stock. 

Sure you could go to the national 

brand store down the 

street, but there’s no way you’re 

getting the personal attention 

and outstanding customer service 

Central Police Supply is 

known for. 

Be sure and tell the staff you 

are an avid reader of the BLUES 

Police Magazine and saw their 

ad. Then ask for your FREE 

Back-the- BLUE decal. 


THE JAMES WOOD LAW FIRM 

WINNING FOR INJURED LEOS 

ALL OVER TEXAS 

IT ISN’T IF, IT’S WHEN 

In law enforcement today, it 

isn’t IF you’ll get injured, it’s more 

WHEN and HOW SEVERE. Getting 

injured on-duty goes with the 

profession and along with those 

injuries come the pain of having to 

deal with your agencies Worker’s 

Comp. Insurance Company. 

Back many moons ago, I broke 

a finger on my right hand while 

fighting to handcuff a suspect. By 

the time I had him booked and 

locked up my hand was swollen, 

and my finger was blue. A trip to 

the emergency room revealed what 

I already knew. That broken finger 

resulted in 16 weeks of NO EXTRA 

JOBS, one surgery and lots of time 

sitting at home. Dealing with workers 

comp was a nightmare until I 

hired an attorney. I had asked for 

compensation given this was my 

gun hand. They offered $500. I 

asked for $5000. Their response: 

“that’s what we’d pay if you lost 

your entire right- hand Mr. Barron.” 

That’s when I knew I was being 

screwed and I needed legal representation. 

If you’ve been injured on the job, 

you need to know your rights and 

you need an attorney that knows 

their way around workers comp 

and insurance companies. One of 

the best in the business is James 

Wood, a Texas based attorney. 

Public service is in James 

Wood’s blood and his heart. His father 

has been a firefighter with the 

City of Houston Fire Department 

for more than 30 years. James is 

also the husband of a local Chief 

of Police. 

James himself 

served 

our country 

in the 101st 

Airborne of 

the U.S. Army, 

specializing 

in military 

intelligence. 

James helps 

first responders 

because 

he knows 

what we go 

through—the 

physical and 

mental challenges 

and the 

daily risks of 

the job. 

And he’s damn good at his job. 

James has secured multi-million-dollar 

settlements for his 

clients. His experience includes 

assisting those who have been 

involved in car wrecks (on and 

off duty), trucking wrecks, auto/ 

pedestrian collisions, motorcycle 

collisions, ambulance collisions,

product liability, traumatic 

brain injuries, catastrophic 

burns, officer involved shootings, 

fatalities, amputations, military 

earplug litigation, homeowner’s 

liability claims, fire-fighting equipment 

failure and more. 

We sat down with James and 

his incredible staff to learn more 

about their firm and the services 

they offer first responders”

“As a police officer, firefighter,

may have sustained a career-ending 

injury, or even lost their life

medical treatment, benefits, and

jured, they are frequently allowed 

to pursue both a personal injury 

and workers’ compensation claim. 

If the injury is severe, they may 

also be able to pursue a claim for 

disability retirement. The relationship 

between these areas of 

the law is extremely complex. For 

example, in many situations, a 

successful claim for disability retirement 

can be significantly higher 

than a claim for workers’ compensation 

or might negatively impact 

recoveries in workers’ compensation 

or personal injury. This situation 

is further complicated by the 

fact that each of the government 

entities involved in determining 

compensation has its own set of 

rules.” 

“Because a settlement or judgment 

in your personal injury case 

can have negative consequences on 

your workers’ compensation and/ 

or disability retirement case or vice 

versa, it is important to evaluate 

and coordinate all of them within 

the same firm in order to maximize 

your recovery. Our firm is qualified 

to handle all three cases effectively,” 

replied James Wood. 

What if you don’t want to retire 

because of your injuries? 

“Many firefighters and police 

officers do not want to retire 

regardless of how much workers’ 

compensation or disability benefits 

they can obtain. Public safety isn’t 

just a job, it is a way of life, an 

integral part of your identity, and 

something you truly love. We understand 

this. We will work closely 

with you to ensure that you receive 

all the compensation to which you 

are entitled, but also assist you in 

returning to work. With the proper 

medical care and legal counsel, 

most of our clients can return to 

their careers in public safety.” 

“Finally, we know you put your 

life on the line every day to serve 

our community. We believe in the 

sacred oath that if you are injured 

while protecting the public, you 

are entitled to reasonable medical 

treatment to get you better, 

and fair compensation if you do 

not fully recover. We welcome 

the opportunity to be of service 

to you in return. We will evaluate 

your case for free and you 

owe us nothing unless we obtain 

compensation on your behalf. We 

understand what you are going 

through during this difficult time. 

You are there for all of us. We are 

here for you.”

VOTE THEIR ASS OUT 

THREE JUDGES who freed accused killers on low bonds AND need to go! 

REPRINTED FROM THE 

BREAKING BOND SERIES 

By Randy Wallace 

FOX 26 Houston 

In this edition of Breaking 

Bond, FOX 26 Reporter Randy 

Wallace spoke with several 

candidates who are running 

against criminal court judges, 

who are reducing or setting 

bonds for repeat offenders. 

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - For 

more than a year, we’ve repeatedly 

asked Judges Hillary Unger, 

Greg Glass, and Jason Luong for 

interviews for Breaking Bond 

reports. All those requests were 

ignored. 

Three candidates running 

against them were more than 

happy to talk to us. 

Last September, Houston Police 

Department Officer Bill Jeffery 

was killed in a gun battle with 

30-year-old Deon Ledet, a habitual 

criminal and wanted fugitive 

at the time. 

The DA’s office asked 208th 

Criminal District Court Judge 

Greg Glass to deny Ledet bond. 

Instead, Judge Glass lowered 

Ledet’s bond to just $20,000. 

“This court has had so much 

bad publicity with the release 

of repeat violent offenders and 

I know I can make a change 

there,” said prosecutor Beverly 

Armstrong, whose running 

against Judge Glass. 

“I would look at whether this 

was your first-time, fifth-time, 

tenth-time,” Armstrong said. “I 

would look at is there demonstrated 

evidence of danger to 

society,” 

In October 2021, we told you 

how 248th Criminal District 

Court Judge Hillary Unger set 

bond for 40-year-old Andrew 

Williams, charged with capital 

murder at $150,000. 

Williams would later go on 

to allegedly run over and kill 

71-year-old Martha Medina in a 

McDonald’s parking lot. 

“Too many people are being 

killed on the streets of Harris 

County by felons who’ve been 

released on multiple felony 

bonds. These are violent offenders 

who are endangering our 

community,” said prosecutor 

Linda Mazagatti who hopes to 

unseat Judge Hillary Unger in the 

primary, 

“One bond, I certainly understand 

that. A second bond is a 

potential, but it has to be justifiable,” 

said Mazagatti. “A third 

bond is typically unreasonable.” 

Back in July 2020, we told you 

about 38-year-old Brandon Andres’ 

lengthy criminal history. 

That didn’t stop 185th Criminal 

District Court Judge Jason Luong 

from granting him three felony 

bonds. 

On June 14, 2021, police say 

Andres and another man murdered 

35-year-old Rodrick 

Miller. 

“The trial docket in that court 

is absurd. My opponent has only 

been to trial 10 times in three 

years while many of our hardworking 

democratic judges have 

been to trial 30 to 40 times in 

that same time period,” said 

prosecutor Andrea Beall whose 

running against Judge Jason 

Luong. 

“He hasn’t tried a capital 

murder. He hasn’t presided over 

a single child abuse case, even 

though the legislature requires 

judges prioritize those in trial 

order,” Beall said. 


HILLARY UNGER 


GREG GLASS 

185TH CRIMINAL DISTRICT JUDGE 

JASON LUONG 


LINA HIDALGO 

Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo accused 

of ‘disrespect’ at slain corporal’s funeral. 

HOUSTON - There are few services 

more somber and more sacred 

than those honoring a fallen 

law officer. 

And yet the funeral of slain 

Corporal Charles Galloway with 

Harris County Pct. 5 Constables 

now lies under a shroud of 

controversy with County Judge 

Lina Hidalgo accused of being the 

instigator. 

“What she did was wrong,” 

said Precinct 5 Sgt. Roy Guinn. 

“She completely disrespected the 

service that we had planned, not 

only to honor Corporal Galloway 

but for his family and for all of 

law enforcement. And she did it 

with no thought at all, no care at 

all.” 

Guinn says at Tuesday’s memorial 

service, Hidalgo insisted on 

playing an unrequested, undesired 

role at the private Galloway 

funeral, refusing to leave the 

ceremonial vanguard and take 

her assigned seat, despite his 

urgent and repeated requests. 

“It was almost venomous,” said 

Guinn. “She said, ‘I’m not going to 

sit there, do you know who I am? 

I’m the County Judge,’ and she 

was very upset I was trying to 

move her.” 

It is Guinn’s personal belief 

Hidalgo was more interested in 

a primary season photo-op than 

preserving the dignity of a fallen 

officer’s farewell. 

“Every place she injected 

herself without invitation was 

where cameras were present,” 

said Guinn. 

The sergeant said as much in a 

statement first published on the 

Michael Berry Show. 

Asked about both the incident 

and the criticism, the Judge’s 

spokesman said Hidalgo would 

not be responding out of respect 

for the family. 

Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, 

who attended the Galloway service 

tweeted on the issue Thursday 

calling Hidalgo’s actions “a 

shocking display of disruptive 

and disgraceful behavior.” 

Harris County Judge 

LINA HIDALGO 

“You have blood on your hands... I’m calling on 

you three to resign from office so the healing can 

begin.” STEVE RADACK, at a recent CC Meeting. 

Then she made an ass out of herself at Corporal 

Charles Galloway’s Funeral. 

SHE HAS TO GO!

10-YEAR-OLD’S DREAM A REALITY 

Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel sworn into 200+ law enforcement agencies 

If you meet 10-year-old Devarjaye 

“DJ” Daniel, you would 

never know the youngster has 

terminal brain cancer and spinal 

cancer. He is respectful, polite 

and determined. Determined to 

reach his goal of being sworn 

in at as many police agencies 

as possible in an effort to bring 

awareness to childhood cancer. 

At first it was 100 agencies. Then 

200. Now, it’s just accept the 

offers as they come. 

On Monday, February 1st DJ 

reached his goal of 100 law 

enforcement agencies when 

Montgomery County Judge Mark 

Keough of Texas formally recognized 

DJ in a proclamation recognizing 

DJ’s formal swearing-in 

at 25 agencies. 

DJ “was sworn in to 25 law enforcement 

agencies in Montgomery 

County and it was an honor 

to be at his ceremony this morning,” 

Keough wrote in a Facebook 

post. “I presented him with 

a proclamation commemorating 

his achievement and recognizing 

him as an honorary officer at the 

agencies who swore him in.” 

“I knew he was going to get 

to the 100 pretty quick. I know 

how the community is and law 

enforcement, like the military for 

myself. I do appreciate everyone 

coming out to support him. This 

is exactly why he has the push to 

fight harder,” said Theodis Daniel, 

DJ’s father. 

Daniel, a single father of three, 

added that his son “knows the 

severity of his cancer, but he 

is not letting it set him back or 

anything.” 

Daniel works for a company 

called Texas Hog Enforcement, 

which traps wild hogs and other 

dangerous animals. The company 

also rescues neglected animals, 

FOX 26 reported. 

“No matter how hard it is. No 

matter how tough it is, you can 

push through it and get through 

it,” Daniel told the outlet. “I was 

telling some of the officers, I 

said, you know a lot of things 

happened with law enforcement 

officers these past few years and 

morale was kind of low. Now 

here comes a 10-year-old and 

everyone’s spirits pick up.” 

Keough added that DJ is “following 

in Officer Abigail Arias 

footsteps working towards his 

goal of 100 agencies to be sworn 

into.” Abigail, a 7-year-old girl 

who died of a rare cancer in 

November 2019, was an honorary 

Freeport police officer. DJ led 

Monday’s event with a prayer for 

Abigail, according to her father. 

“He’s so full of life and enthusiasm 

and his spirit is so calming 

to everyone he meets. Not a dry 

eye in the room this morning” 

said Keough. 

I met DJ at Aldine ISD as he 

was sworn to another ?? departments. 

It was like running into 

an officer you’ve served with in 

the past and you’re catching up. 

He walks and talks just like a 

cop. He knows the lingo and he is 

ready to help anyone that needs 

assistance. Oh and the boys got 

jokes as well. 

Aldine Chief Paul Cordova, said 

it was a honor and a pleasure to 

swear DJ in as honorary officer 

of the Aldine ISD Police Department. 

On January 26, 2022 “DJ” was 

sworn into the Brenham and 

Blinn Police Departments, the 

Washington County Sheriff’s Office, 

the Brenham Fire Marshall’s 

Office, the Constables office, as 

the District Attorney’s investigator, 

and as a Texas Game Warden. 

Victoria Chief of Police Roberto 

Arrendondo says that he’s 

pretty sure DJ felt the love from 

the Victoria community. 

“DJ is battling, and he’s winning 

the battle right now and 

I think he’s winning the battle

ecause of all of the support and 

all the love that he’s getting from 

each community he visits. So I’m 

pretty excited about that, huge 

success today, I’m hoping he felt 

all the love,” says Chief Arrendondo. 

As we went to press March 

7, 2022, DJ had well over 300 

agencies under his belt. Amd 

more scheduled in the following 

days and weeks. 

DJ’s dad says they’ve traveled 

over 9,000 miles on this journey, 

with many more to go. 

“He’s going to keep going until 

the gas runs out of his tank,“ 

Theodis Daniel said. “I told him, 

‘Well, if God keeps you here, you 

going to be going for the next 

several years.’” 

DJ’s goal was to hit every department 

in the State and here’s 

that list. We’ll come back and 

highlight everyone he made it to.

BY TOM KENNEDY, B&G EDITOR 

War story about violent 1970s HPD drug wars 

set the stage for events leading to creation of 

Houston Police Officers Union 

his poison. Choosing nights in Central 

Patrol, he quickly became intimate with 

the Third Ward culture despite the fact 

he had never been able to vote or buy 

weapons or ammunition, had never 

gotten drunk and always locked his 

patrol car doors. 

Many officers learned before decade’s 

end that Thomas knew the meaning of 

perseverance. He persevered through 

the bloodshed and the tough initiation 

dished out by the department. He even 

was recruited by the Park Place Rangers, 

the only way a young officer could 

join the rugged, no-nonsense patrol 

known for taking no prisoners. Instead 

of worrying about the lack of legal 

representation for officers involved in 

shootings or fretting over insurance 

co-pays that added up too quickly on 

pay day, Thomas built a solid reputation 

for the savvy needed to make cases 

that stood 

own way of doing things. 

AGGRESSIVE WAR ON DRUGS 

The narcs set records for blowing 

the division’s monthly drug budget the 

first three days of a new month because 

they were making bigger busts, requiring 

much larger sums. On the night 

shift, Lieutenant Billy Ripley, Jim Kilty 

and his aggressors in the war on drugs 

were doing the same thing. Each of the 

narcs learned to always be part of a 

task force that involved Harris County 

officers, the U. S. Drug Enforcement 

Agency and the Texas Department of 

Public Safety. One task force member 

or another always had the money the 

underfunded HPD officers needed for 

their next bust. 

The workload added up, especially 

the time in court. The narcs worked sixteen-hour 

days and sometimes on their 

Recruiting because she was one of only 

a few females who could pass HPD’s 

tricky agility test. She became HPD’s 

second female narc, with braces on her 

teeth and a Sunday school image. 

She had been a narc for only three 

months when the Golfcrest warrant 

situation arose. Woods needed help to 

gain entry to the apartment and secure 

the occupants inside. He radioed Thomas 

as he worked late from the day shift. 

Doyle Green bumped him and they also 

got Nathan Brumley to volunteer to 

participate. The sergeant going to the 

scene was Gene Cox. 

The sergeant and three other officers 

arrived and shared information about 

the case. The guy in the apartment was 

sixty-year-old Thomas Garza Malone, 

the poster boy for the early release 

Author’s Note: The history of the Houston 

Police Officers Union came in three 

phases: 1) the formation of the Houston 

Police Officers Association in the 1940s; 

2) the creation of the Houston Police Patrolman’s 

Union in the late 1970s; and 3) 

the merging of HPOA and HPPU to form 

HPOU in the 1990s. The following story, 

based on a chapter in Houston Blue, the 

Story of HPD, details the formation of 

HPPU, whose history begins with a “war 

story” from the violent drug wars in 

Houston in the 1970s. 

Pappy Bond had a plan in late 1974. 

The new captain in Narcotics had taken 

over a division troubled by unsafe 

arrest practices and accusations of brutality, 

wiretapping and other questionable 

activities that often turned the tide 

in the criminals’ favor. Bond attacked 

the growing drug problem in the Bayou 

City through a special inter-departmental 

recruitment technique. He 

perused the lists of arrests from Patrol 

and wrote down the names of the arresting 

officers most often appearing. 

On his yellow notepad he scribbled 

the names of the top three from 

Central Patrol, Northeast, Shepherd 

and Park Place. He interviewed each 

of them, flattered their egos by citing 

their aggressiveness, and appealed to 

their purposeful demeaner as being 

just what HPD needed to take on drug 

dealers. 

He sought and signed up the people 

who later nicknamed themselves the 

“buffalo hunters” on the day shift. The 

night shift became known as “Ripley’s 

Raiders” after Narcotics Lieutenant Billy 

Ripley. These hunters and raiders were 

younger officers unafraid to plunge 

head-on into the more challenging and 

dangerous police situations and live to 

write detailed reports. 

BUFFALO HUNTERS FORM 

One of them was Bob Thomas, 

who endured his share of meanness 

and violence as a patrolman in Third 

Ward and with the Park Place Rangers, 

known in the 1970s as HPD’s toughest 

patrol division. In his three years on the 

force, Thomas had heard more shots 

fired and saw more blood than hundreds 

of officers with far more years on 

any beat. 

The “buffalo hunters” met for the first 

time in early 1975, each finding himself 

in a roomful of strangers, a condition 

that quickly changed. Thomas threw 

in with Officer Doyle Green of Central 

Patrol. The modus operandi meant 

working in groups on shifts. Thomas’ 

group worked days and also included 

Rick Ashwood, Kenny Williamson and 

Joe Otis. The narcs worked undercover, 

using tips from street people and informants 

to make buys of heroin and large 

amounts of marijuana. They grew long 

hair and beards and dressed the part. 

They put in long hours together and 

frequently socialized off-duty. 

Thomas grew up in Oak Forest on 

Houston’s Northside, an ideal backdrop 

for conscientious young men and women 

of the early sixties. Many graduates 

of Waltrip High School, Thomas’ alma 

mater, became Houston police officers. 

An especially poignant fact in history 

is that three Waltrip graduates were 

police officers killed in the line of duty: 

John Bamsch, shot to death by a robbery 

suspect in 1975; Timothy L. Hearn, 

killed by a pistol-wielding drug suspect 

in 1978; and John Anthony Salvaggio, 

killed by a hit-and-run driver in 1990. 

The twenty-one-year-old Thomas 

realized that Waltrip’s HPD tradition, his 

three years as a UH business major and 

sixteen weeks in the police academy 

prepared him for the Houston streets – 

but only to a degree. He got the same 

on-the-job experience as thousands 

of his predecessors. He graduated high 

enough in his academy class to pick 

up with supervisors and later in 

courts. 

Thomas was a quick study in drug 

culture. He dressed the part, talked the 

part and became an integral part of it 

just like colleagues Doyle Green, Rick 

Ashwood, Kenny Williamson, Jim Kilty, 

Tim Hearn and others. He learned the 

dangerous trade from more seasoned 

narcs such as Frank Miller, Mike Woods 

and Joe T. Dugger. 

Narcs cultivated their snitches, 

discreetly dropping charges against 

suspects in return for certain introductions. 

Bartering for a dismissal, the defendant 

was required to introduce the 

narcs to three people who sold drugs. 

The informant might participate in the 

first dirty buy. Then the narcs would 

make two more on their own, building 

up trust and carefully working their 

way through the drug-dealing chain. 

Captain Bond was looking good, too. 

By the middle of 1975, the Buffalo Hunters 

and Ripley’s Raiders developed and 

cultivated a vast network of drug dealers. 

In their first year, the Narcotics Division 

saw a 300 percent increase in drug 

arrests, a stark contrast to the squad of 

predecessors disbanded because of its 

days off. Thomas kept his marriage to 

his high school sweetheart together by 

spending every day off with her and his 

daughters. Others weren’t so lucky. The 

HPD divorce rate grew higher, particularly 

among narcs. The narcs’ workload 

grew heavier and, as they learned on 

a December night in 1975 night, it also 

became more dangerous. 

Critics of the Narcotics Division of 

the late seventies believed narcs were 

overly aggressive and careless. Too 

often they initiated arrest operations 

without fully assessing the dangers. 

Justices of the peace, particularly 

Judge Lawrence H. Wayne, eagerly 

demonstrated their anti-drug stance by 

signing search warrants without posing 

the detailed questions about the perilous 

predicament in which arresting officers 

would soon immerse themselves. 

Early the evening of December 8, 

1975, Officers Mike Woods and June 

Cain were en route to a darkened and 

rundown multiple-unit dwelling on 

Golfcrest on the southeast side. The 

twenty-year-old Cain was still wet 

behind the ears. She grew up in Pasadena 

and always wanted to be a cop. 

Cain graduated from the academy at 

age nineteen and spent a half year in 

program in the Texas prisons of the seventies. 

He served ten years of a ninetynine-year 

sentence for murder. Once 

paroled, he killed another man in a bar 

fight and did another twelve years of 

hard time on a life sentence for murder. 

Malone had nineteen-year-old stripper 

Bonnie Sue Hollis with him. Hollis 

had recently sold heroin to a narc. The 

buffalo hunters would have sweet, 

innocent-sounding Cain knock on the 

door and say, “It’s me,” which usually 

prompted the drug to open up, triggering 

officers to hit the door with their 

shoulders and order the occupants up 

against the wall. The ruse worked – 

until this night. 

Hollis didn’t open up. Malone jammed 

a two-by-four against the doorknob, 

burying the other end into the carpet. 

The officers heard the toilet flush down 

evidence as they kicked down the door. 

Flushing continued steadily as several 

minutes passed before the narcs gained 

entry to the darkened one-bedroom 

apartment. 

FIVE SHOTS HIT FOUR OFFICERS 

Green took the lead with his shotgun. 

He grabbed Hollis by the arm, 

eased past a small Christmas tree and 

stepped down a hallway. Green aimed 

his shotgun as he rounded the corner 



toward the bedroom. Malone was in a 

shooter’s stance with a five-shot, snubnosed 

.38. 

POW! POW . . . 

Malone’s first shot struck Green’s left 

hand on the stock side of the shotgun. 

The bullet hit the third knuckle of his 

left index finger and traveled up into 

his wrist where it tried to exit the palm 

side. Deflected by the face of Green’s 

watch, it then continued up his arm and 

came to rest near his elbow. 

Malone aimed his .38 carefully. The 

memories of what happened in the 

next few seconds consist of the fiery 

yellow orange muzzle of the .38, 

ungodly intense pain, death and yet 

the strong desire to catch the bad guy 

whodunit. 

POW! POW!! POW!!!. 

Woods and Thomas returned the fire 

in uncertain directions, unable to zero 

in on Malone as he aimed the gun barrel 

precisely in their direction. All of this 

happened in split seconds. 

Malone’s second bullet struck 

Woods’ gun, deflecting the slug down 

through the officer’s groin. Woods’ gun 

jammed helplessly after he got off two 

rounds and took cover behind Brumley 

after a third slug traveled dead center 

through Brumley’s chest cavity. Brumley 

was shocked back to life three times 

that night, living in physical and mental 

pain for the rest of his life. 

“I saw the muzzle and his face,” 

Thomas recalled the instant a slug – 

believed to be from Malone’s fourth 

shot – tore through his stomach and 

stuck between two vertebrae, barely 

missing his spinal column. The officer 

returned a total of fourteen rounds. 

Green was down near the dinette 

table. He had his regular duty weapon 

in his “jack ass” shoulder holster, but 

he was left-handed with the wound 

putting his left hand out of commission. 

So, he just lay there – shot, bloody and 

scared – wondering if he should try 

to get his gun out of his holster and 

shoot right-handed. He later said he 

was afraid he would be too slow or 

miss, and Malone would take it away 

from him and shoot him with it. Playing 

possum was his best decision. 

Woods retreated out the front door, 

where Thomas had difficulty standing 

and walking. Woods and Thomas 

thought Green and Brumley were dead. 

‘I’ve been shot! Get me some help!’ 

Malone went into the bedroom to 

put on a t-shirt, came back out and 

picked up Green’s shotgun, wanting 

to shoot the possum. Malone started 

pulling what he thought was the 

trigger while pointing the shotgun at 

Green’s head. In his confusion Malone 

actually caused the slide to release and 

eject one live round and pump another 

one into the chamber. He kept pumping 

until the gun was empty and Green was 

still alive. 

Thomas and Cain were shoulder-to-shoulder, 

side-by-side in the 

doorway when the shots rang out. The 

shot that hit Thomas in the gut caused 

blood to spill out over his left hand, 

which was holding his stomach. “I’ve 

been shot!” Thomas said to Cain. “Get 

me some help!” He continued shooting, 

thinking he had hit Malone. The bullet 

in Thomas’ vertebrae pressed against 

the nerve that put his right leg asleep. 

Woods picked up Brumley from a pool 

of fresh red blood and pulled him out, 

while Green hugged the floor, ever the 

possum. 

Malone was shot one time, through 

the sagging skin that hung below his 

bicep area. It was never determined 

whose bullet hit him. 

Thomas’ leg was numb, and he 

couldn’t stand up. He heard the racking 

of Green’s shotgun and thought 

Malone was trying to kill him. The gun 

wasn’t working. It never fired. Malone 

never released the safety. He pointed 

the shotgun at Thomas twice, tried to 

pull the trigger and ejected at least two 

rounds. Thomas had seven rounds left 

and wanted to sit there and keep him 

in this apartment. But he couldn’t see 

what he was doing behind the counter 

of the living room, only hearing the 

racking of the shotgun. 

In less than another split second 

twenty-year-old June Cain had to 

make a decision of what to do. Cain 

saw the muzzle blasting of a gun like 

it was in slow motion. She cocked her 

gun and pointed it at Bonnie Sue Hollis, 

whose hands were spread out on the 

carpet. Cain had to get help for her 

partners. This meant sprinting down the 

stairway to a police radio. Officers had 

Walkie Talkies in 1975 that were useless 

in “dead zones” like this rundown 

apartment. Not taking a chance on a 

dead zone, Cain got to the stair steps 

and yelled to Sergeant Cox to throw her 

the keys to the police car so she could 

get to a reliable radio. 

Then Malone got help from an 

unexpected source, the apartment 

manager who mistook Thomas for the 

drug dealer. The manager was about 

three-hundred pounds and clad in a 

sleeveless t-shirt and boxer shorts. He 

barked at the wounded Thomas: “Drop 

your gun! I’ve called the police!” Then he 

fired a shot that barely missed the officer’s 

head. Thomas painfully tossed his 

badge in the man’s direction. “Anybody 

can get a badge,” he responded, and 

fired more shots. 

Thomas limped down the steps, 

dodging more bullets. The pistol-packing 

manager soon surrendered to 

somebody who set him straight. 

Cain radioed, “Officers down,” asking 

for help and ambulances. Before she 

could put down the radio mike, she 

heard sirens and saw Thomas out in the 

street waving for help. Cain told him to 

sit down, hearing him state, “June, I’ve 

got to get these patrol cars and ambulances 

in here. I think Doyle’s dead.” 

Meanwhile, Malone tiptoed over the 

wounded Green, left his apartment and 

crept down the narrow second-story 

walkway to the apartment unit of an 

older woman two doors down. 

Almost as chaotic as the actual 

shooting scene was the narrow Golfcrest 

Street with cars parked on both 

sides, virtually blocking the ambulances 

and responding officers. Cane and 

four others actually picked up the back 

end of a car parked on the side of the 

road and moved it toward the drainage 

ditch so ambulances could get through. 

BRUMLEY ‘DIED’ THREE TIMES 

Despite his four hits with five pistol 

shots and seeming to have luck on his 

side, Malone couldn’t find an adequate 

escape route. Sergeant Cox arrested 

him at the apartment unit down the 

walkway as Houston Fire Department 

paramedics carefully placed four 

wounded officers into three ambulances. 

A few miracles kept all four alive 

or else the Houston Police Department 

would have experienced its second 

bloodiest night in history next to the 

Camp Logan Riot. 

The four officers survived serious 

line-of-duty wounds and returned to 

duty six months later. Instead of heroes, 

they become “morale problems.” Their 

overall treatment led Bob Thomas and 

others to seriously question departmental 

philosophies and benefits 

enough to initiate a new, more aggressive 

police union within three and a 

half years. 

Thomas felt he was alive because 

Malone mishandled the shotgun and 

that the trigger-happy apartment manager 

missed shooting a man, he didn’t 

know was a police officer. Malone was 

able to launch his escape attempt when 

Thomas left Green and sought shelter 

from the manager’s shooting attack 

behind a parked vehicle downstairs. 

About twenty-five to thirty apartment 

dwellers gathered downstairs 

after hearing the shots. They spotted 

Malone and pointed toward his temporary 

haven as Sergeant Cox rushed in to 

arrest the man whose shootings came 

within inches of killing four officers. 

Fire Department paramedics placed 

Green and Woods in one ambulance 

and Thomas and Brumley in another. 

Nathan Brumley “died” at the scene. 

Paramedics quickly resuscitated him 

and laid him and Thomas side-by-side 

in their ambulance. Halfway to Ben 

Taub General Hospital, they lost Brumley 

again. They pulled over to the side 

of the road, again shocked him back to 

life, and rushed him to Ben Taub while 

leaving the still-breathing Thomas with 

a paramedic. Within seconds another 

ambulance arrived to pick them up. 

Brumley “died” yet a third time and 

underwent an out-of-body experience 

as one of the best emergency doctors 

in the business, Dr. Ken Maddox, 

brought him back to life in the Ben 

Taub Emergency Room. Later, Brumley 

told his fellow officers that he remembered 

looking down from above his 

body and seeing Maddox. “He was ripping 

me apart like a watermelon and I 

could feel his fingers in my chest. I kept 

trying to talk. There was no pain, but I 

could feel the sensation. I was up above 

and could see a light. I was looking 

down at my body.” 

Green underwent surgery and his arm 

was placed in a cast. He needed two 

more surgeries. Woods felt lucky the 

bullet deflected off his watch or else 

he would have suffered a more serious 

chest wound. Both rested at home in 

bed for several months. 

Doctors cut a hole for a tube in 

Thomas’ abdomen to drain an abscess. 

They also installed a colostomy bag he 

used four months before undergoing 

surgery to repair the damage. For the 

next four months he endured a lowgrade 

fever caused by two different 

infections. His weight dropped sixty 

pounds to 135. 

Pappy Bond was police chief by this 

time and visited each of his wounded 

narcs on Sunday afternoons at their 

residences or personally called each 

one at his home. The four men longed 

to get back to normal working routines 

and closely bonded during their recovery 

process. Two months passed before 

the quartet was instructed to return 

on a limited-duty basis, Thomas still 

running a fever with his colostomy bag 

and drainage tube in tow. 

Narcotics underwent another series 

of supervisory changes, largely the 

result of the Golfcrest shooting, another 

shootout that wounded several 

narcs and the April 8, 1976, line-of-duty 

death of Jim Kilty. Most of the supervisors 

didn’t know Woods, Brumley, 

Green and Thomas, and didn’t like the 

fact they were physically incapable of 

working the streets. Brumley was in the 

poorest shape. While off-duty in recovery, 

he couldn’t hold a gun and once 


ack on duty he started shaking at the 

sound of loud noises. The cruel jokers 

popped sacks behind his back, causing 

obvious responses of fright. 

The four wounded officers orchestrated 

their return on the same day. 

Woods returned to regular duty but 

the other three were assigned to answer 

phones. Within two weeks, their 

supervisors called them into the office 

for a conference. They told them that 

they were a lingering reminder of the 

danger of Narcotics, a negative morale 

factor. They each were to be transferred. 

All hell broke loose. The new brass 

wanted all four in lighter duty, maybe 

even back in uniform. The officers 

hobbled down to find the former 

captain who teamed up the buffalo 

hunters. There in the chief’s office sat 

Pappy Bond, who screamed, cussed 

and dressed down the new Narcotics 

captain. Green and Brumley transferred 

to the Helicopter Division, while 

Woods and Thomas stayed in Narcotics. 

Thomas went back on injury leave 

for his colostomy closure surgery and 

returned to work in June 1976. Woods 

was named the 100 Club’s 1976 Officer 

of the Year. 

Conditions worsened for narcs on 

the streets. Three more were shot in 

February 1976, and Jim Kilty was killed 

in the line of duty during an arrest on 

April 8. Captains and lieutenants were 

replaced and most of the sergeants 

transferred. Thomas got paperwork 

from two doctors saying he was fit for 

full-time duty. He spent time on surveillance 

without making any arrests 

through the summer. By September he 

was again buying drugs and making 

cases. Eventually he and his two closest 

friends in Narcotics, Ashwood and Williamson, 

were transferred out against 

their wishes. 

Three of the four officers stuck it out 

until retirement. Three of them pursued 

other careers, Green in U. S. Customs, 

Woods in land investment and Thomas 

as a lawyer. Brumley didn’t make it. 

Cancer struck him down and affected 

“every organ the bullet struck.” He died 

in 1981. 

The quickly seasoned June Cain 

stayed in Narcotics, later married an 

assistant police chief, Tommy Shane, 

and became the first female police helicopter 

pilot in HPD history. She retired 

in 2006 with thirty-one years on the 

job. 

Thomas Garza Malone was sentenced 

to life imprisonment for his deadly 

assaults on the officers. After serving 

five years, Malone died behind bars in 

Huntsville. 

AFTERMATH CHANGES HPD 

Patrol brass put Bob Thomas in “the 

armpit of the police force” – riding on 

the evening shift of the Northeast substation. 

Then the two men in Thomas’ 

corner, Pappy Bond and Lieutenant Eli 

Rivera – the only brass that understood 

the plight of the wounded narcs – retired 

to security jobs at Tenneco. 

Thomas and the other three seriously 

injured narcs were the first in history 

whose injuries were subjected to 

worker’s compensation laws amended 

in September 1975 to cover municipal 

employees. Heretofore, officers injured 

in the line of duty could not take 

off for sprained backs, broken bones 

or injuries affecting soft tissue. The 

department ordered Thomas to work 

light duty with a colostomy bag and a 

low-grade infection. 

Initially, the shabby treatment disappointed 

and angered four men considered 

to be good officers. Thomas took 

the sergeant’s examination and scored 

high except for a captain’s low evaluation 

given him for failing to write at 

least two moving tickets per day when 

most of Thomas’ citations involved 

expired plates or license stickers. When 

the Houston Police Officers Association 

wouldn’t furnish an attorney to fight the 

low evaluation, Thomas hired his own 

lawyer to argue against the captain’s 

unfair evaluation. 

Other promotion lists were similarly 

affected. One lieutenant, Tom Koby, 

died No. 1 on the captain’s promotional 

list three years in a row. Thomas’ case 

resulted in enough alterations in the 

evaluations to place him fifteen slots 

higher on the sergeant’s list, thus attracting 

the attention of Harry Caldwell, 

acting chief until Mayor Jim McConn 

made the appointment permanent in 

McConn’s first term in 1978. 

Thomas learned he was enjoined 

from entering the Northeast Substation, 

subject to arrest if he did. He was 

then ordered to report immediately to 

the Property Room, long established 

as a duty station for injured officers 

during physical recovery periods. The 

reassignment had all the earmarks of 

punishment since HPD had no opening 

at the Property Room. There were five 

officers assigned there – three with 

heart problems, another who had suffered 

a nervous breakdown and a fifth 

with a glass eye. Thomas had Wednesdays 

and Thursdays off on the evening 

shift. s) 

The officer had the reputation for 

voicing disagreement over the way 

narcotics cases were handled at the 

Courthouse. Thomas’ record, combined 

with high recommendations from past 

supervisors, assistant district attorneys 

and a high-test score, made him a 

prime candidate for the FBI. He passed 

the background check, yet when word 

leaked that he was headed to the Feds, 

suddenly he became known as a malcontent 

who questioned authority and 

didn’t follow orders. 

Had Thomas left for the FBI, the HPPU 

never would have taken shape. His case 

for change was mounting, beginning 

with wounded officers’ treatment in 

the aftermath of the December 1975 

shootout; second was the torpedo from 

above that ruined his chances of getting 

into the FBI; and third, an experience 

that clearly showed that civil service 

laws didn’t provide an officer with due 

process after a suspension. 

SEXUAL ADVANTAGES 

The latter experience in January 1975 

emerged during the third week Thomas 

was assigned to Narcotics and involved 

the sexual proclivity and demands of 

a night shift Narcotics sergeant. The 

sergeant took sexual advantages of 

female narcotics suspects in return for 

dropping charges against them. The 

department fired the sergeant, who 

otherwise had an exemplary record, 

a wife and six children, and nineteen 

years and nine months service with 

HPD – three months away from vesting. 

The logical plan might have been 

to allow him to retire in three months. 

Instead, the department quietly fired 

him, causing him to lose a retirement 

that amounted to thirty percent of his 

salary, medical benefits and forfeiture 

of more than $25,000 he had contributed 

to his pension fund. 

Thomas thought that the errant 

sergeant should have gotten back 

the money he had earned and contributed 

to a pension fund. The young 

officer also was struck by the fact 

the sergeant had no recourse through 

an independent appeals process and 

restricted due process. The process at 

the time entailed a hearing before a 

three-member Civil Service Commission 

appointed by the mayor with the 

latter option of appealing to a state 

district court. This procedure was a far 

cry from the modern-day practice of 

independent arbitration. 

The treatment of the sergeant set the 

stage for the formation of a new union 

and an eventual reform movement that 

finally saw the necessary changes in 

procedures that would have allowed 

him to keep his accrued benefits. 

Within six months of Thomas’ assignment 

to the Property Room in 1978, the 

department conducted a surprise audit, 

unannounced and the first in five years. 

Previous Property Room audits were 

openly scheduled at least three months 

prior to the auditors’ appearance. 

Thomas was ready for them, taking 

care to log in money and pornographic 

films and videotapes. The audit turned 

up nothing negative, but it sent signals 

to many other officers in the department 

that if the higher-ups were after 

you, they would stop at nothing to nail 

you. 

As 1979 began, Thomas had enough 

ammunition to strike a mighty blow for 

largely overlooked Patrol officers, present 

and future. Like the Houston police 

officers who met secretly to write 

state laws granting them civil service 

protection in the 1940s, Thomas and a 

widening inner circle started thinking 

about a new union separate and apart 

from the HPOA. 

ASSOCIATION ‘TOO SOFT’ 

Formed in 1945, the HPOA was 

there for every rank. Many of those 

forming the group had graduated to 

sergeants, lieutenants and above. In 

1979, the association was perceived as 

being too soft on representation and in 

bed with the police administration and 

City Hall. The oil-rich Houston economy 

of the seventies enabled the city to pay 

for two generous back-to-back pay 

raises under Mayor Jim McConn. Despite 

these lifts in morale, Bob Thomas and 

other leaders found shortcomings in 

legal representation, health insurance 

and job security. 

The economy elsewhere in the United 

States wasn’t as prosperous. Detroit 

and other cities laid off officers. So 

down to Houston these officers came 

from New York and the Midwest to 

enroll in HPD cadet classes. These new 

officers signaled a major change in HPD 

demographics. Instead of a force consisting 

of Texas country boys and former 

members of one military service 

branch or another, a growing number 

had some college behind them, talked 

differently, were more demanding and 

knew the power of unions. 

Thomas garnered a multitude of 

issues after serving on the HPOA board 

for two years. He knew if he and his 

friends couldn’t dramatically change 

HPOA, they would initiate an ambitious 

plan to get aggressive legal representation, 

more inclusive insurance coverage 

and due process. By the end of the 

1979 session of the Texas Legislature, 

Thomas and his fellow Waltrip High 

School alumnus, state Representative 

John Whitmire, had a notch on their 

political gun. Whitmire sponsored a 

measure to require refundability of 

police pension contributions if an officer 

left the department before twenty 

years of vested service – like the Narcotics 

sergeant earlier in the 1970s. 

Withholding these contributions 

was highly hypocritical since the city 

refunded them for firefighters and 

municipal employees. City lobbyists 

killed bills in two previous sessions that 

would have achieved this goal. Thomas 

and some other HPOA board members 

believed that many of HPD’s sharpest 

and brightest young officers were leaving 

to work in other law enforcement 

agencies, not wanting to contribute 

pension monies that they knew they 

would never get back unless they were 

around for twenty years. 

An HPOA meeting with the pension 

board members was especially rancorous. 

One or two of them yelled at 

Thomas and the others. Coincidentally, 

Chief Caldwell was the long-term 

Pension Board chairman during this 

period. Thomas pushed the issue at the 

next HPOA board meeting by requesting 

an unprecedented roll call vote 

for the Whitmire legislation. It passed 

unanimously and the proposed measure 

became the association’s sole goal 

in the upcoming Legislature. The bill 

exclusively required refundability of 

pension contributions and became law 

despite the Pension Board’s backroom 

effort to fight it. 

Conflicts like these solidified the 

growing belief that HPOA was not 

representing the average officer on the 

street. The association board members 

came mostly from areas like Burglary 

and Theft and Community Services. The 

new officers from the north and northeast, 

some of whom were referred to 

as “the Detroit Tigers,” were familiar 

enough with police union affiliations 

to provide sources of information for 

Thomas, Raymond McFarland and Rick 

Ashwood. Although Thomas was the 

founding president of the Houston 

Police Patrolmen’s Union (HPPU), Ashwood 

was the primary instigator. 

BAD BED PARTNERS 

Like the HPD Civil Service advocates 

of the 1940s, the first HPPU members 

met in secret. At 11 p.m. on October 29, 

1979, at the Holiday Inn on Memorial and 

Sawyer, just west of 61 Riesner, they 

started flocking into a meeting room. 

Each person brought a $10 initiation 

fee. A total of fifty-three people joined 

on the spot. The union would alter the 

future benefit package for all Houston 

officers by embarking on a crusade for 

improved insurance, legal representation 

that included due process and even 

higher salaries. 

These steps resulted in a growing 

number of young police officers believing 

that the Houston Police Officers 

Association was nothing more than a 

bed partner with the city administration. 

The HPOA spent $40,000 annually 

on athletic events that included sponsorship 

of Little League teams and the 

establishment and financing of softball 

leagues for its members. Younger, more 

aggressive officers from states in the 

Northeast and Midwest expected more 

than a time-honored brotherhood and 

were bothered that HPOA budgeted a 

mere $15,000 for legal services. 

Low dues reflected low expectations. 

HPOA’s major thrust was the yearly 

study of city finances, and the recommendation 

of salary increases. Parity 

was in effect, meaning that a sergeant 

shared the same pay scale as a fire 

captain, etc., on up the line. Council 

members felt they had to give firefight- 


ers and municipal employees the same 

percentage raise they gave officers. 

Active terms like “collective bargaining,” 

“grievance procedure” and even 

“due process” wasn’t commonly used. 

Feelings intensified among officers that 

they had fewer rights of due process 

than common crooks. When an officer 

was transferred to the jail, Dispatch or 

the property room as punishment, he 

didn’t speak out for fear his work life 

would worsen or he would be labeled 

a malcontent for the rest of his career. 

“Firings” weren’t labeled as such. The 

affected officer literally cleaned out his 

locker and was “allowed to resign for 

personal reasons.” HPD kept no record 

of the number of times this happened. 

More aggressive members of the 

HPOA board started to keep score and 

voiced concern that younger officers 

got no legal representation. They preferred 

that money be designated for 

legal assistance rather than nighttime 

softball leagues. The scorekeepers 

found that the retention rate of officers 

had reached a new low point. New recruits 

in town expected a totally different 

philosophy than the mild-mannered 

HPOA. Some association members had 

growing families and felt unions like 

those in the Northeast endorsed work 

stoppages and strikes. HPOA President 

Bill Elkin and the association wanted 

nothing to do with an organized union. 

Under Elkin’s leadership, HPOA acquired 

land two blocks west of headquarters 

at 61 Riesner. The president also appointed 

the organization’s first African 

American board member, J. J. Berry. 

A growing number of new HPD officers 

hailed from Chicago, New York, 

Philadelphia and Boston. Many of these 

officers had walked picket lines with 

their dads, while Texas-born officers 

had lived in a right-to-work state. 

About the same time Bob Thomas of 

Central Patrol became a more active 

HPOA member, so did Tommy Britt 

of North Shepherd, Rick Ashwood of 

Central, Raymon McFarland or North 

Shepherd, Doug Carr of Central/North 

Shepherd and Chris Gillespie of Northeast. 

Gillespie was from the Midwest 

and had a college degree. “It was 

almost like the perfect storm of people 

coming together,” Britt said. Each had 

his own strengths. Gillespie, for example, 

introduced the idea of collective 

bargaining, grievance procedures and 

career development. 

OLD INFLUENCE VS. NEW FACTION 

Vast differences existed with the 

older, more influential HPOA members. 

The younger faction had some college 

hours. These six activists each worked 

in uniform on weekends and nights or 

evenings, while the majority of HPOA 

board members had 8-to-5 desk jobs, 

take-home cars and didn’t have to wear 

uniforms. Each of the younger challengers 

had a grievance of one kind 

or another and sought the strength 

in numbers to resolve their problems. 

They felt the need to take a more strident 

involvement in the organization to 

deal with their perception that some of 

the people running the department had 

a moral compass that wasn’t running 

true north. 

As early as 1978, Britt, Bob Thomas 

and four others ran as “a reform slate” 

for the HPOA board. Thomas and Ashwood 

were already board members but 

unsuccessfully sought board leadership 

offices, causing them to believe they 

needed a new union. 

Thomas soon got the reputation as a 

troublemaker. Older members weren’t 

reluctant to express their desire to give 

him a good old-fashioned “whupping.” 

The bitterness from his 1975 near-death 

line-of-duty experience remained a 

chip on his shoulder and he sometimes 

came across as a smart aleck. Yet his 

leadership was effective enough for 

Britt and many others to later conclude 

that most of the good things that happened 

to officers took place because of 

Thomas’ leadership. 

These new activists were soon known 

by a new universal identifier, “Baby 

Boomers,” the first generation to grow 

up in the sixties, affected by protests 

for civil rights and women’s liberation 

or against the Vietnam War. The 

officers figured they could conduct their 

own form of protest and maybe get 

somewhere. Yet the priority for HPOA 

President A. J. Burke, a popular solo 

motorcycle officer, was a new location 

for the association’s headquarters. Real 

estate sources offered two intriguing 

possibilities. One was the Brazos Hotel 

in downtown, the other the Atascocita 

Country Club property on the northeast 

side. 

Both had high asking prices, discouraging 

most HPOA members. The association 

could have used the golf course 

for its golf-playing members and sold 

off most of the remaining acreage to a 

developer. Instead, the board decided 

to lease a building on Jackson Street in 

downtown that once housed the Salvation 

Army and was later torn down 

to make way for the George R. Brown 

Convention Center. 

HPOA then purchased property at 

1600 State Street, two blocks from 61 

Riesner, where it constructed a building 

opened in 1983 later dedicated to the 

late Lieutenant Breck Porter, a hero in 

the establishment of state civil service 

protection for officers. To help pay for 

the facility, HPOA sponsored a country 

and western concert with Roy Clark as 

one of the headliners in the old Coliseum. 

Outside supporters bought steers 

at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo 

and donated the proceeds to HPOA, the 

beef used at benefit barbecues. 

Not until grand juries stepped up 

investigations of police brutality cases 

did HPOA hire a lawyer to represent 

members who were targets in these 

investigative procedures. The first was 

one was a former HPD officer, John 

Lohmann, through his firm Lohmann, 

Glazer and Irwin. Another legal counselor, 

D. Reid Walker, also was hired 

through Lohmann’s firm and became an 

authority in state civil service law. 

Thomas and a growing list of ardent 

followers of uniformed patrol officers 

on duty after dark readily asserted that 

pay raises were one thing but legal 

representation and insurance benefits 

were quite another. At the birth of the 

Houston Police Patrolmen’s Union on 

October 29, 1979, founding President 

Thomas stressed points like these and 

backed up his words at frequent news 

conferences. The new union concerned 

Mayor McConn, Police Chief Caldwell 

and long-time political movers and 

shakers more than a Category Five 

hurricane. Thomas thought he would 

be fired and postponed the first secret 

organizational meeting for the union 

until his wife Pam gave birth to their 

youngest daughter in September. He 

didn’t want to lose maternity benefits. 

Summoned to Caldwell’s office on 

the day he announced formation of the 

new union, Thomas became physically 

ill, thinking he would be dismissed 

along with other union founders. From 

outside Caldwell’s office, he heard the 

chief rant and rave about the union and 

the disloyal officers who formed it. As 

the minutes ticked into hours, Thomas 

remained apprehensive, but his confidence 

slowly grew. He later learned 

that influential Houston area AFL-CIO 

labor leader Don Horn wised up Mc- 

Conn. The mayor was about to win his 

second term with Horn’s political influence 

and listened on the phone as Horn 

posed important questions: What had 

Thomas done that any other officer was 

entitled to do under the Constitution? 

What law had he broken? Was the city 

ready to combat the lawsuit that would 

result from a firing? 

According to McConn, he told Chief 

Caldwell to use every resource to 

discredit Thomas, thinking it was just 

a matter of time before they broke up 

HPPU. But HPPU membership grew by 

leaps and bounds because Thomas and 

union leaders were hitting HPOA in its 

weakest spots – its inability to publicly 

articulate the issues impacting working 

officers. 

LE AGENCIES 

Having staff attorneys to provide 

legal advice to members was in high 

demand by officers anxious about 

situations like the infamous Joyvies and 

Webster incidents. The union felt that 

having a lawyer at either of these cases 

might well have completely changed 

the dynamics of the resulting investigations. 

As it was, people were fired and 

lives destroyed at the feet of the HPOA, 

whose dues were $3.50 a month, which 

HPPU contended were not enough to 

hire lawyers. 

Thomas argued that a lawyer at the 

scene in which officers said suspect 

Randy Webster was armed with a 

pistol would have made a dramatic difference. 

Had a union lawyer been there 

to sort out the facts, the investigation 

would have shown the case to believe 

what many HPD officers believed it really 

was – an accidental shooting at the 

hands of one officer. The findings could 

well have been that his gun safety was 

horrendous, but it wasn’t an indictable 

offense. The union leaders suggested 

that when you have a lawyer come up 

and say, “What happened?” ninety-nine

WORDS BY DONNA WILLIAMS 

Worst Traffic Accident in 

Houston’s History 

In 1976, my dad was a detective 

for the Houston Police Department. 

On May 11, 1976, he had an 

early morning court call in Judge 

Jimmy Duncan’s court. Anyone 

who was a cop in the 70’s and 

80’s knew you’d better not be 

late or even worse missing from 

one of his court calls. You would 

be facing contempt of court and 

get locked up yourself. 

Shortly after 10:30am the D.A 

cut my dad loose and he left 

downtown to follow up on an 

attempted murder case he was 

working. He traveled outbound 

on US 59 and as he approached 

Loop 610 his world was about to 

change in ways he never imaged. 

Just after 11am, a tanker truck 

traveling on Loop 610 attempted 

to navigate the intersecting 

interchange and lost control 

of his rig. It slammed through 

the guardrail, struck a support 

beam and fell over 100 feet to 

the Southwest freeway below. 

Luckily it just missed striking a 

car below. 

Had it just been an empty 

trailer he was towing it would 

have just been a horrible crash 

that killed its driver. But not on 

this day. The truck was hauling 

a liquid tanker truck filled with 

7,000-gallons of anhydrous ammonia. 

Not the standard cleaning 

product one would use at home. 

This was pure, undiluted industrial 

anhydrous ammonia that 

is used in heavy-duty chemical 

processes and is extremely deadly 

if mishandled. The tanker ruptured 

upon impact and let loose 

a cloud of highly toxic ammonia 

fumes that were deadly to anyone 

within breathing distance. 

My dad rolled up on this 

nightmare mere seconds after 

it happened. He had no idea 

how deadly this cloud was, but 

immediately sensed this was 

bad. Really Bad. God was surely 

watching over my dad, because 

the wind was blowing the cloud 

away from him as he watched 

people collapsing on the concrete 

in front of him. He was 

close enough to breathe some of 

the fumes, but not enough to kill 

him. At least not that day anyway. 

For the next several minutes, 

my dad recused dozens of people 

from their cars and got them 

to safety. He ended up in the 

hospital later that day when one 

of his lungs collapsed. 

In 2019, The Houston Chronicle 

ran a story about what was and 

is the worst traffic accident in 

Houston’s history: 

May 11 marks the 44th anniversary 

of one of the scariest moments 

in Houston history, when 

a semitrailer carrying more than 

7,000 gallons of anhydrous ammonia 

fell from a freeway ramp, 

spilling its lethal contents. 

The incident, which left seven 

dead and nearly 200 injured, 

caused officials to rethink how 

to tackle chemical disasters and 

led to rules still in use today. 

Over forty years later, the 

route that ammonia truck took 

still snakes through a city that 

has doubled in size, leaving 

Houston vulnerable to a catastrophic 

accident. 

Just after 11 a.m. on May 11, 

1976, a tanker truck carrying 

the dangerous chemical fell 

onto the Southwest Freeway 

from the 610 West Loop above. 

The driver had lost control of 

the rig and hit a support beam. 

The National Transportation 

Safety Board would later determine 

that the driver was not 

traveling at a safe speed. He 

barely missed landing on a car 

passing by. Not much was left 

from the truck in the aftermath. 

From a Houston Post dateline: 

“As the sign says, the weather 

is fair, it’s 83 degrees and 

the time is 11:17 a.m. The date 

is also May 11, and that white 

cloud in the distance is the toxic 

blanket of anhydrous ammonia 

fumes which resulted from 

a tank truck crash at Southwest 

Freeway and the West Loop 

which killed five persons. The 

Texas Air Control Board took the 

picture from its offices at 5555 

West Loop South.” 

(The Houston Post Building 

was less that 200 yards from the 

site of the wreck and the entire 

building was evacuated for the 

rest of the day) 

The fumes that were released 

proved fatal for those who were 

too close. Freeway traffic was 

closed for three miles in all directions. 

Most nearby residents 

left their homes. Those who 

were close enough to detect the 

smell were told to relocate until 

the odor dissipated. 

A recording of the KPRC-AM 

coverage of the event can be 

heard here. Reporter Bob Raleigh 

spoke to witnesses who saw the 

accident and confirmed fatalities 

at the scene with fire officials. It’s 

a 40-minute time capsule from 

one of the worst disasters in 

Houston history up to that point. 

KTRK-TV reports from the 

scene show medics taking away 

burn victims and everyday Houstonians 

chipping in to help the 

recovery effort. One medic said 

he had 12 people in one ambulance. 

Area hospitals and emergency 

rooms were inundated. 

There was almost no chance 

of survival for those caught in a 

cloud of ammonia that strong, 

and most greenery in the area 

later died. 

The accident claimed seven 

lives, including six who died at 

the scene or shortly afterwards: 

David Randle Whiteman, 48; 

Grace Gillebaard, 33; Earl Davis, 

26; Gordon D. McAdams, 40; 

Robert Wisnoski, 64, and truck 

driver William Gregory Schmidt, 

28 

Some people survived their 

exposure to the chemical but 

would live with lung damage. My 

dad lived another ten years after 

the accident and died of lung 


cancer. Even though he could 

barely breathe somedays, my 

dad worked up to year before he 

died. 

In my heart, my dad was a 

hero that day. Hundreds could 

have died had he not been there. 

There were lots of heroes that 

day. Ordinary citizens risked their 

lives to save their fellow Houstonians. 

It’s a day Houston will 

never forget and certainly one 

my family won’t forget either. 

But I know my dad is in Heaven 

with our Heavenly Father watching 

over all of us, making sure 

the worst doesn’t happen again.

2022 Jeep Wagoneer 

We just traded the BLUES Jeep Wrangler 

for a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. The Wagooner 

ranks near the top of large SUV 

rankings thanks in part to its spacious 

and upscale interior, wealth of standard 

amenities, refined V8 powertrain, and 

cushioned ride. See what ya’ll think 

PROS & CONS 

Muscular, refined V8 engine 

Gentle ride 

Roomy, high-end interior

High starting price for class 

Ungainly to maneuver in tight

RANKINGS & RESEARCH 

The 2022 Jeep Wagoneer’s #1 ranking 

is based on its score within the 

Large SUVs category. Currently the Jeep 

Wagoneer has a score of 9.0 out of 10, 

which is based on our evaluation of 8 

pieces of research and data elements 

using various sources. 

IS THE JEEP WAGONEER A GOOD SUV? 

Yes, the all-new 2022 Jeep Wagoneer 

is an outstanding large SUV. It 

offers roomy seating space for up to 

eight people, a huge cargo area, and 

a mammoth 10,000-pound towing 

capacity. It accelerates swiftly yet returns 

decent gas mileage, thanks to its 

hybridized V8 powertrain, and its finely 

tuned suspension provides a blissful 

ride over rough pavement. The Wagoneer 

also comes packed to the brim 

with luxe materials, a host of active 

safety features, and a cutting-edge 

infotainment system. 

SHOULD I BUY THE JEEP WAGONEER? 

The 2022 Jeep Wagoneer deserves 

to be on your shortlist if you’re shopping 

for a full-size SUV. It’s about as 

capable and refined as large SUVs get. 

The tradeoff is that it’s also expensive. 

Prices currently start at around $68,000 

(Jeep promises a $58,000 variant later 

in the model year). If that’s going to be 

a deal breaker, you may want to consider 

less expensive rivals like the Ford 

Expedition or Chevrolet Tahoe. 

HOW MUCH DOES THE JEEP WAGONEER 

COST? 

Jeep currently offers the Wagoneer 

in two trims: Series II and III. The Wagoneer 

Series II has a $67,995 starting 

price, while the Series III costs $72,995. 

Both are much pricier than average for 

the large SUV class. Jeep plans to offer 

a $57,995 Series I trim but not until later 

in the 2022 model year. 

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO IN- 

SURE A JEEP WAGONEER? 

The cost of insuring a Jeep Wagoneer 

will depend on a variety of 

factors, including your deductible, the 

level of coverage that you want, and the 

type of insurance that you choose. Your 

age, gender, location, credit score, and 

driving record can also have an impact 

on your insurance rates. Check out our 

car insurance guide to find the best 

policy for you. 

JEEP WAGONEER VERSUS THE 

COMPETITION 

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer is essentially 

a luxury version of the standard 

Wagoneer. It’s offered solely with fourwheel 

drive, and it boasts a punchier 

V8 engine, richer cabin materials, and 

subtle exterior design tweaks. It also 

comes with amenities that the Wagoneer 

doesn’t offer, like massaging 

seats, an extra pair of touch screens 

for the climate control system, and a 

night-vision camera. It’s the swankier 

SUV by far. The catch is that the Grand 

Wagoneer isn’t any more capable than 

its sibling, despite costing a lot more. 

Prices start at $86,995, and they can 

exceed $100,000. 

WAGONEER INTERIOR: 

Jeep has crafted increasingly posh 

interiors for its SUV models in recent 

years, and the all-new Wagoneer is no 

exception. The cabin is bank-vault quiet, 

elegantly styled, and trimmed with 

mostly high-end materials. Padded 

leather surfaces and soft-touch plastic 

are in abundant supply, though glossy 

hard plastic can also be found. Overall, 

it’s easily among the best interiors in 

this class. 

WAGONEER INFOTAINMENT, BLUE- 

TOOTH, AND NAVIGATION 

The Wagoneer is outfitted with Jeep’s 

new Uconnect 5 infotainment system, 

which includes a standard 10.3-inch 

digital gauge cluster behind the steering 

wheel and a 10.1-inch touch screen 

in the center of the dashboard. These 

screens have slick graphics and snappy 

responses, and they’re highly customizable. 

It can be a little overwhelming at 

first, but the system is easy to use with 

practice. There are also touch-sensitive 

buttons along the sides of the screen, 

so you can make quick changes to the 

audio and climate settings. 

But wait, there’s more. You can keep 

back-seat passengers entertained on 

road trips with a pair of optional 10.1- 

inch tablets that can stream videos, 

movies, and live television via Amazon 

Fire TV. There’s also an available touch 

screen for front-seat passengers that 

offers similar streaming capabilities 

plus control of the audio, navigation, 

and rear-seat entertainment systems. 

Standard infotainment features: a 

10.1-inch touch screen, a 10.3-inch digital 

gauge cluster, navigation, wireless 

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless 

device charging, a Wi-Fi hot spot, 

Bluetooth, eight USB ports, satellite 

radio, and a nine-speaker stereo 

Available infotainment features: a 

10.3-inch passenger-side touch screen, 

a 19-speaker stereo, and a rear-seat 

entertainment system with two 10.1- 

inch displays and Amazon Fire TV 

ADDITIONAL STANDARD FEATURES: 

keyless entry, push-button start, 

remote start, and tri-zone automatic 


climate control 

OTHER AVAILABLE FEATURES: a 

panoramic sunroof, rear sunshades, 

and a lockbox 

WAGONEER CARGO SPACE 

The Jeep Wagoneer has 27.4 cubic 

feet of cargo space behind its third-row 

seats, 70.8 cubic feet with these seats 

folded, and a massive 116.7 cubic feet 

with the second and third rows folded. 

That cargo capacity falls short of rivals 

like the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC 

Yukon XL, but it’s more than enough 

space for hauling plywood, furniture, or 

camping gear. 

The Wagoneer has a payload rating 

of up to 1,580 pounds. A hands-free 

power liftgate comes standard. 

HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES THE 

WAGONEER SEAT? 

The Jeep Wagoneer is a three-row 

SUV with eight seats. You can replace 

the standard second-row bench seats 

with optional captain’s chairs and a 

center console, which reduces seating 

to seven. 

Regardless of layout, the front seats 

are nicely cushioned and highly adjustable, 

making it easy to find a comfy 

driving position. Headroom and legroom 

are generous for tall occupants 

in both the first and second rows. The 

third row is easy to access, thanks to 

the wide doors and sliding second-row 

seats. Better still, it can comfortably fit 

two adults or three kids with wiggle 

room to spare, even on longer trips. 

The Wagoneer’s square roofline and 

tall windows provide excellent outward 

visibility to the front and sides of the 

SUV. The sightlines are decent to the 

rear as well. 

Leather upholstery, heated and ventilated 

front seats, and a heated steering 

wheel are standard. Heated second-row 

seats and rear sunshades are available. 

WAGONEER AND CHILD CAR SEATS 

The Wagoneer has three or four 

complete sets of LATCH connectors for 

installing child safety seats, depending 

on configuration. 

WAGONEER PERFORMANCE: KING 

OF THE ROAD WAGONEER ENGINE 

The 2022 Jeep Wagoneer features 

a 5.7-liter V8 engine and a 48-volt 

mild-hybrid system with a combined 

392 horsepower and 404 pound-feet 

of torque. An eight-speed automatic 

transmission and rear-wheel drive are 

standard; four-wheel drive is optional. 

This V8 powertrain shuttles the 

SUV off the line and up to speed with 

surprising ease. There’s ample power 

on tap at any moment, thanks in part 

to the transmission’s quick yet smooth 

shifts, making it a breeze to pass other 

vehicles at speed or blast up highway 

on-ramps. This acceleration is often 

met with a lovely bark from the tailpipes. 

The “eTorque” mild-hybrid system 

deserves praise as well. This belt-driven 

motor is responsible for turning the 

engine off and on at stoplights, keeping 

the SUV’s electrical system charged, 

and supplying extra torque to improve 

acceleration. It works seamlessly in all 

respects. 

WAGONEER GAS MILEAGE 

The Wagoneer gets an EPA-rated 

16 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the 

highway. That’s hardly thrifty, but it is 

better than average for a large SUV. 

Models with four-wheel drive see ratings 

dip to 15/20 mpg city/highway. 

WAGONEER RIDE AND HANDLING 

The Jeep Wagoneer is a hulking SUV, 

and it feels every bit as substantial on 

winding roads and narrow city streets. 

The truck-based Wagoneer tends to 

lean and sway through turns, and its 

lightly weighted steering can make it 

tough to place the SUV within its lane. 

It can also be a chore to park. You may 

find yourself circling the block a few 

times to find a large enough spot. The 

same can be said of most large SUVs 

though. 

The upside is that the Wagoneer 

devours highway miles with aplomb. 

It glides comfortably and quietly over 

bumps and gouges in the pavement, especially 

when paired with the available 

air suspension. Its big brakes slow the 

SUV to a halt with confidence. 

WAGONEER OFF-ROAD PERFORMANCE 

The Wagoneer has what it takes to 

navigate rough terrain like a rutted dirt 

road or logging trail, but it’s not exactly 

the kind of vehicle that relishes the 

tough stuff. It’s better suited for hauling 

you and your camping gear to a trailhead 

while leaving the rock-crawling 

to smaller and less expensive alternatives 

like the Jeep Wrangler. 

This Jeep has a respectable 8.3 

inches of ground clearance, though the 

optional Quadra-Lift air suspension can 

boost that up to 10 inches. Available 

off-road upgrades include skid plates, 

additional traction control modes, 

beefy all-terrain tires, and a two-speed 

transfer case with high- and low-range 

gearing. 

WAGONEER TOWING CAPACITY 

The Jeep Wagoneer can tow up 

to 10,000 pounds when properly 

equipped. That’s the highest towing 

capacity of any large SUV, and it clobbers 

the ratings of rivals like the Toyota 

Sequoia, Chevrolet Tahoe, and Nissan 

Armada. 

WAGONEER RELIABILITY 

Is the Jeep Wagoneer Reliable? 

The 2022 Jeep Wagoneer does not 

have a predicted reliability score at this 

time. 

JEEP WAGONEER WARRANTY 

Jeep covers the 2022 Wagoneer 

with a three-year/36,000-mile limited 

warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile 

powertrain warranty.

WHERE IS THE 2022 JEEP WAGONEER 

BUILT? 

Jeep builds the 2022 Wagoneer in 

Michigan alongside the Grand Wagoneer 

SUV and Ram 1500 pickup truck. 

WHICH JEEP 

WAGONEER MODEL 

IS RIGHT FOR ME? 

The 2022 Jeep 

Wagoneer comes in 

three trims: Series I, 

Series II, and Series 

III. Each comes 

standard with eight 

seats, a 392-horsepower 

V8 engine, an 

eight-speed automatic 

transmission, 

and rear-wheel drive. 

Four-wheel drive is 

a $3,000 option for 

the Series II and III 

models only. 

The Series I is by far 

the most affordable 

choice in the Wagoneer 

lineup: It starts 

at just under $58,000. 

However, Jeep says 

it won’t be available 

until later in the 2022 model year. That 

may be the trim to get if you can wait. 

If you can’t, start your search with the 

Series II, which is jam-packed with 

standard features and amenities. 

JEEP WAGONEER SERIES II 

The Wagoneer Series II starts at 

$67,995. It comes standard with a 10.1- 

inch touch screen, a 10.3-inch digital 

gauge cluster, navigation, wireless 

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless 

device charging, a Wi-Fi hot spot, 

satellite radio, a nine-speaker stereo, 

Bluetooth, eight USB ports, keyless entry, 

push-button and remote start, and 

tri-zone automatic climate control. 

Additional standard features include 

leather upholstery, power-adjustable 

front seats with heating and cooling 

functions, a heated steering wheel, 

second- and third-row bench seats, 

a hands-free power liftgate, a Class 

IV tow hitch, a limited-slip rear differential, 

20-inch alloy wheels, LED 

headlights, forward collision warning, 

forward automatic emergency braking, 

adaptive cruise control, lane keep 

assist, blind spot monitoring, parking 

sensors, a rearview camera, and rear 

seat alert. 

Several options are available, including 

a 10.3-inch passenger-side touch 

screen ($1,195), heated second-row 

captain’s chairs ($995), two 10.1-inch 

displays for rear passengers ($1,995), 

and a heavy-duty tow package ($995). 

The Convenience package ($3,295) 

bundles together heated second-row 

seats, a head-up display, driver drowsiness 

alert, a surround-view parking 

camera system, hands-free park assist, 

and automatic high-beam headlights. 

The Premium package ($2,995) adds 

a panoramic sunroof, roof rails, and 

22-inch wheels. The Advanced All-Terrain 

package ($2,295) includes an air 

suspension, skid plates, a two-speed 

transfer case, and 18-inch wheels with 

all-terrain tires. 

JEEP WAGONEER SERIES III 

The Wagoneer Series III costs 

$72,995. It gains a heated second-row 

bench seat, a head-up display, automatic 

high-beam headlights, and a 

load-leveling rear suspension. 

Most options carry over with minimal 

changes and, in some cases, discounted 

pricing. The Premium package 

costs $5,495, though, and it includes 

power-operated running boards and 

a 19-speaker stereo. An electronic lockbox 

raises the price of the tow package 

to $1,495. 

THE FINAL CALL 

After a 30-year-plus hiatus, the Jeep 

Wagoneer is back, and it has reshuffled 

the pecking order in the competitive 

large SUV class. The new Wagoneer 

has a spacious and sophisticated 

interior, the latest in tech and safety 

features, well-rounded driving dynamics, 

and excellent towing and hauling 

capability. 

Don’t just take our word for it. Check 

out comments from some of the 

reviews that drive our rankings and

A BADGE OF HONOR 

heal ing our heroes 

The Ripple Effect. 

So, what is the Ripple effect? 

Well, Websters defines it as 

“a cumulative effect produced 

when one event initiates a succession 

of similar events.” So 

how does it apply to us in the 

Law enforcement world as it 

relates to stress, mental health, 

and our fellow officers across 

the nation? 

Let us dig in a little. Let us look 

at the normal stressors in our 

lives: they include our personal 

relationships, our kids, money, 

debt, bills, car, house payments; 

along with our usual wants and 

needs. The list can go on and 

on. Now if we were accountants 

working in New York, and an 

accountant from another firm 

in California had been killed, it 

really would not affect us. We 

would not even know about it 

unless our companies were connected 

in some way. Even then, 

unless I we knew them directly, 

our day would go on as normal, 

just water cooler talks at best. 

“Hey, did you hear about that 

guy in California.” 

Now let’s look at our Job. In 

the First Responder field, it goes 

much deeper than that. We are 

all connected. It does not make 

a difference which department 

you work for or what state you 

live in. We are bonded by the 

uniform and the job. The risks 

are much higher. This in turn 

connects us on a much different 

and higher level. 

The information we receive becomes 

a mind stamp, and it can 

alter the way we tactically think 

during our shifts or even longer 

for that matter. 

This ripple effect can generate 

a lot of power and travel long 

distances. An officer shot or 

killed in a small town in Oregon, 

can impact officers across the 

nation. Think about it. If you get 

into work and hear an officer in 

Oregon was killed by some perp 

during a traffic stop using an 

AR-15 you go into a heightened 

alert mindset which may change 

your tactics for car stops that 

day. We may not show it, but an 

officer’s death across the nation 

has a mental impact on all of us. 

Sure, we tend to hide that side, 

but you cannot stop your mind 

from thinking of it. 

Everything is touched by that 

ripple. A death, an assault, even 

use of force, has major effects 

on us. Just look at the ripple 

of one officer, in a small town, 

kneeling on a man’s neck has 

had. Each moment of our job 

is hit with a ripple from somewhere 

else. 

Our Mental Health is affected 

most by this Ripple effect. Depending 

on the tools you’re given, 

it will make a difference and 

keep the ripple from becoming a 

wave. 

It all depends on the way you 

utilize those tools. 

Every department trains its 

officers in mental health awareness, 

but there is no national 

standard in which they follow. 

Some programs are better than 

others. The programs can differ 

as some departments face 

manpower shortages and budget 

issues. But to be completely 

honest, if you do not have 100% 

buy in from the upper brass, the 

program will fail. 

When we are given a toolbox 

full of tools, we need to be able 

to use those tools when we need 

them. We also need to be using 

the proper tool for the situation 

at hand. 

We have all used a butter knife 

to secure a screw. Depending 

on the surface, it never really 

sits right or goes all the way in. 

Mental Health tools work the 

same way. If we are not using 

them correctly, they will not be 

fully effective and can cause 

damage later. 

Let’s take the ripple a little bit 

further. What about our family? 

Well, we all try to shield 

our families from the traumatic 

events of the job, but there 

are too many news outlets and 

social media platforms that 

provide 24/7 access. Our families 

are smarter than we think. 

When a loved one says how 

was your day, our response of 

unicorns, rainbows, and sunshine 

cannot be the answer 

we give anymore. Our families 

stay connected with us, and for 

them to stay mentally healthy, 

we need to share our tools and 

allow them a look inside our 

world. We do not have to share 

the gruesome aspects of it, but 

they need to see the reality of it. 

It is our commitment to them to 

share, rather than having their 

minds thinking the worst. 

The mental stress on our loved 

ones each day caused by the 

ripple effect of social media and 

breaking news can cause vicarious 

trauma in which they are 

not trained to handle. Our job 

requires us to protect and serve 

strangers. Be counselors, therapists 

and at times judge and jury. 

It is our obligation to protect 

our family as well. Teaching our 

families how to use these tools 

will open communication and 

heal any relationship issues. 

The Ripple also has another 

side of it. It can be calming if 

used correctly. It can sooth the 

soul. It can release hurt and allow 

the pain to heal, in turn, you 

will provide a ripple effect of 

your own. 

COMING SUMMER 2022 

You will bring security, calm, 

understanding and openness 

when the ripple you create 

touches your family. 

We need to have more conversations 

with our loved ones. We 

need to allow them in. Once we 

do, everything will begin to fall 

in place. And for the ripple, well 

it will fade into the natural current 

of the water and produce 

those peaceful sounds we love 

to hear.

Heart Attacks and Miracles 

(Medical & Divine) 

“Sir, you have had a heart 

attack,” said the ER doctor in 

New Port Richey, Florida. These 

words were directed to me on 

Tuesday of last week (01-25-22). 

I am recounting my experience 

in the hopes it may save a life 

by demonstrating the issues of 

a “coronary event” and what it 

looked like from my perspective. 

Normally, I wouldn’t put 

something so personal on public 

display, but I feel compelled to 

share my experience for educational 

purposes. 

Becky and I traveled to Florida 

via Southwest Airlines to visit 

our daughter, Bethany, and her 

husband, Joel, in the Tampa Bay 

Area. We landed without incident 

and went to a boat show 

in a nearby harbor. I was on my 

feet for a couple of hours and 

walked 3 1/2 miles at the outdoor 

boat show according to my 

iPhone data. I had no issues other 

than a touch of arthritis in my 

right knee. 

On Monday, I went to Countryside 

Country Club and played 

golf at that very nice facility in 

nearby Clearwater, FL. When I 

got through, my muscles were 

a bit sore which is normal for 

me. We ate dinner as usual with 

Bethany and Joel who recently 

moved to Florida in order to sail 

a 31’ boat around So Florida. 

The next day (Tuesday) was 

cold and rainy so golf was not in 

the forecast. Becky and Bethany 

got dressed early and were going 

to the school where Bethany 

works as a counselor. It was at 

that time I experienced an unfamiliar 

sensation. My sore muscles 

from the day before became 

a bit more pronounced and I 

started to sweat from my forehead. 

I got on my cell and called 

Becky back inside the apartment. 

They were still on the parking 

lot and came right back inside. I 

then had an overwhelming urge 

to walk around in circles, which 

I did. 

Becky was going to drive me 

to the hospital, but nobody knew 

where one was since we were 

visiting and Bethany just moved 

there. So that idea was quashed 

after about five seconds and 9-1- 

1 was called. The dispatcher told 

them to give me aspirin, but all 

we had was coated baby aspirin. 

She told them that I needed to 

chew four baby aspirin while the 

ambulance was enroute, which 

I did. 

The ambulance arrived in a 

few minutes. The EMT’s put me 

on a stretcher and placed me in 

the back of the ambulance. They 

put me on an EKG and started 

asking questions. 

“How much pain are you in?” 

“None.” 

“Anything radiating down your 

left arm.” 

“No.” 

“Right arm, legs?” 


“Heartburn or nausea?” 


“Your EKG and blood sugar are 

both normal.” 

“Your BP is 154/97 and pulse is 

100.” 

“That’s very high for me.” 

“How are you feeling?” 

“The same.” 

“I need for you to close your 

eyes and clear your mind. I want 

you to take your finger and place 

it on the epicenter of this sensation.” 

That was almost like a field 

sobriety test and I wondered 

how many accident scenes the 

fireman had been on. 

I really didn’t think it had an 

“epicenter”, but I followed his 

directions and it did. I pointed 

to my torso where my sternum 

comes to an end near my abdomen. 

We arrived at the hospital 

ER and I was taken in and they 

masked me up. 

The ER doctor and nurses 

began to examine me, asking 

me those same questions. I did 

tell them I battled through some 

nausea spells about a month or 

so ago where my liver enzymes 

had spiked. They didn’t think that 

was related. They did an EKG 

(normal), CT Scan with contrast 

dye (normal), and they drew an 

extraordinary amount of blood. 

BP was still high. Pulse rate of 

over a hundred. They started an 

IV solution of Heparin which is 

a blood thinner. They gave me 

an injection of it as well to bring 

me up to therapeutic levels. 

There is an enzyme called 

troponin that is only produced 

by the heart. If that enzyme is 

elevated, the doctor will tell the 

patient (me), “Sir, you have had a 

heart attack.” 

I was admitted to the hospital 

and placed in my room. The cardiologist 

came by and told me 

that my troponin level was elevated 

“mildly” and that the only 

way to know for sure what was 

going on was through a heart 

catheterization that he would 

perform first thing Wednesday 

morning. I stayed on Heparin and 

other blood thinners with constant 

monitoring until I went to 

the “Cath Lab.” 

I woke up (not sure I ever went 

to sleep) Wednesday and was 

taken directly to the Cath Lab. 

The doctor ran a catheter (little 

wire) into my artery through 

an injection site on my right 

thigh/groin. I was conscious, 

but groggy and I dozed off a bit. 

The procedure did not take long 

(20-30 minutes). The doctor said 

I had a 99.9 percent blockage of 

the “widow maker” artery. Becky 

took the photo of my blocked artery 

that accompanies this essay. 

He performed an angioplasty 

(balloon) to remove the blockage. 

He then placed a stent in the 

artery and told me what a lucky 

man I was. His nurse told me she 

got goosebumps when she saw 

the blockage. 

The nurse took me to Recovery 

and told me that I would have 

“residual chest discomfort” but it 

would go away. I did have it and 

it went away after 24-36 hours. 

Recovery was another room and 

another experience. I had to lay 

flat on my back, which is easier 

said than done. There were two 

nurses assigned to me. There 

was the issue of the catheter that 

was still in me. The nurses told 

me that I was going to be in considerable 

discomfort for about 

30-40 minutes and that the first 

five minutes were going to be 

extremely uncomfortable. 

They took the catheter out. One 

nurse pulled it out and the other 

one applied constant very hard 

pressure to the site. The danger 

is that of bleeding out: especially 

with all the blood thinners in 

play. After about twenty minutes 

(there was a clock just over 

their shoulders), the catheter 

was out, but the one nurse dared 

not reduce pressure for another 

twenty minutes or so. The 

skill and physicality involved to 

remove the catheter and keep the 

artery clamped using only their 

fingers still amazes me. Never 


underestimate the role nurses 

play in giving you hands on care. 

The nurses said I made their jobs 

much easier because I laid perfectly 

still, which is apparently 

very important. They said that 

the number of patients who can’t 

keep still boggles their minds. 

After a few more hours of 

laying flat (hard to do) I was 

released to go back to my room. 

I could now sit up, but my right 

leg had to remain extended with 

no pressure on it. 

I was discharged the next day 

(Thursday) to go back to our 

daughter’s apartment. I was on 

restrictions such as no lifting 

anything over five pounds, but I 

could sit in a chair and watch TV. 

The next day (Friday) I got out 

of the apartment and walked 

around the area. It’s a beautiful 

area, but walkers have to watch 

out for alligators (it is Florida). 

On Friday, I began to earnestly 

analyze my experience from 

both a practical standpoint and 

a spiritual introspection. From a 

practical standpoint I started to 

connect the dots in what I can 

now see was about a two year 

process that culminated in my 

ending up in a Florida ambulance 

and surviving something I 

had no business of surviving. 

About two years ago, just 

before the pandemic, my heart 

developed an irregular beat and 

my resting heart rate was faster 

than usual. I went to my doctor 

and cardiologist. The irregular 

heartbeat was diagnosed as 

benign and treated with a drug 

called Metoprolol which also 

slowed my pulse. After starting 

the drug, I was extremely fatigued 

in the afternoons. I continued 

to battle my way through 

the fatigue, but it was not easy. 

I had been on a high protein 

diet (Atkins), but that diet basically 

stopped working for me. I 

theorized at the time it was due 

to the Metoprolol slowing down 

my metabolism. 

Last August at my physical, I 

had some blood work issues tied 

in with the lower metabolism. My 

liver enzymes were elevated. The 

doctor said that I could no longer 

be on Atkins. I had to go on a 

low calorie-low fat diet. So I did. 

That diet was/is working for me 

and I’ve lost over fifty pounds and 

I hope to be under 200 pounds 

shortly. 

About a month or so ago I 

would inexplicably throw up my 

food sometimes. I went to the 

doctor and my liver enzymes 

were elevated. I had a liver and 

gastro ultrasound and that was 

normal. The doctors were working 

on that problem when they 

cleared me to go to Florida. 

While connecting the dots, I 

recalled the fireman in the back 

of the ambulance. He asked me 

to clear my mind and point to 

the epicenter of my sensation. I 

realized that I pointed to the exact 

same spot where my nausea 

bouts began. As I look back on it, 

the beginning stage of the nausea 

episode was the same feeling 

as the heart attack sensation. 

After I would throw up, I felt fine. 

Of course, I told my Houston 

doctors this during my follow 

ups. Apparently, the nauseating 

liver experience and the coronary 

experience had the same 

point of origin: the 99.9% blockage 

of my artery. New blood 

work shows all my enzymes are 

perfectly normal. My BP is 104/71 

and pulse is 63. My primary care 

physician told us yesterday that 

she never says a heart attack is 

a good thing, but in my case it 

was. A fatal blockage was removed 

and there was no damage 

to my heart. While awaiting 

official word from the gastroenterologist, 

my liver is functioning 

well and all my blood work is 

normal. The debilitating fatigue 

is gone. 

The practical analysis of the 

experience revealed that I had 

no “classic symptoms.” No chest 

pain, no radiating discomfort 

in my arms, no heartburn, no 

shortness of breath - not even an 

abnormal EKG during the event. 

I had nausea a month before. 

I had sore muscles. I perspired 

from my forehead on a cold 

morning. I had an uncontrollable 

urge to walk in circles. I say 

all of this to tell you to listen to 

your body. Don’t try to rationalize 

away what it is telling you. 

Make a pact with your spouse 

(and anyone else you spend a 

lot of time with) that you will 

always err on the side of calling 

9-1-1 for each other rather than 

rationalizing the sensations away. 

All the doctors and nurses were 

very grateful for the 9-1- 1 call. 

It made all the difference from 

a practical standpoint. On a side 

note, go to the hospital with your 

spouse or family member and 

spend the night, if possible. The 

support and acts of aiding the 

patient with small requests are 

invaluable and help the patient 

and the staff. 

My weighty spiritual introspection 

was initiated after our 

return flight home. I received a 

call from the nurse who assisted 

in the catheterization. She called 

to make sure that I was receiving 

follow up care in Texas. I reassured 

her that I was receiving 

care from my primary and cardiology 

doctors. I recalled that she 

said she got goosebumps when 

she saw the blocked artery. I 

thanked her and her friends for 

saving my life. She said, “God 

isn’t through with you yet.” I 

knew that I was experiencing 

some form of “survivor’s guilt” 

and I told her that I had no idea 

why God saved me among so 

many who did not survive, but 

my new mission is to try and figure 

out what He wants of me. 

As one connects the dots 

practically, Christians (I can only 

speak for my beliefs) connect 

the dots in the realm of faith. 

Becky, Bethany, Joel, and I started 

to connect all the circumstances 

that had to happen for 

my life to be saved. It quickly 

spiraled out of control revealing 

an obvious divine intervention 

on my behalf. Biblical Christianity’s 

thesis on the “meaning 

of life” is that we are created to 

experience a personal relationship 

with our Creator. As one can 

imagine, that experience and all 

it entails is extremely personal 

and infinitely complicated. 

Since the beginning of time 

people have tried to “dumb 

down” this experience that we 

have with our Creator. It’s too 

easy to put God in a box and 

describe the Creator in simplified 

terms. One theological term 

utilized in our quest to make 

an immensely perplexing God 

understandable to finite minds 

is “anthropomorphic language.” 

For instance, a Disney cartoon 

will assign human characteristics 

to non human things. Think 

of a certain mouse running all 

over Orlando giving out advice 

while singing and dancing. Disney 

is the master of “anthropomorphic 

language.” Theologically 

speaking, in the same way, we 

assign God human characteristics 

knowing God is not human. 

We do these things because our 

minds cannot produce an image 

of God that doesn’t have them. 

As an illustration, when you 

think of God, do you see God’s 

hand giving Adam life as painted 

on the ceiling of the Sistine 

Chapel? Genesis does say that 

man was created in God’s image, 

but that means in the spiritual 

sense. He created us in the image 

of eternity. 

Our first inclination when experiencing 

a miraculous event is 

to praise God because He (anthropomorphic 

pronoun) is good. 

He is good, but not because He 

intervened on my behalf. We 

humans like the old standby that 

serves us well in science, but 

not in philosophy or religion. It 

is called “cause and effect.” The 

oldest book in the Bible, “Job,” 

demonstrates that cause and effect 

is ridiculous when it comes 

to God. Job’s friends tried to 

say that he was being punished 

because he sinned against God. 

The opposite of this fallacy is 

also ridiculous: you receive good 

from God because you are good. 

It sounds correct on the surface, 

but it’s absurdly simplistic and 

intensely callous to those who 

are experiencing tragic circumstances 

in their lives. God doesn’t 

work like that. 

I do know that God has a plan 

for each of us. I do not know 

what that plan is in specific 

terms, but I know that it somehow 

involves speaking Truth to 

the face of Falsehood. Job went 

through some desperately difficult 

times, including times of 

divine intervention on his behalf. 

I think I now know, in a small 

way, what he must have felt like. 

Job didn’t have all the answers, 

nor did he try to extrapolate his 

experience to others. If you open 

your Bibles to the Book of Job, 

Chapter 13, Verse 15a, Job says, 

“Though he slay me, yet will I 

trust in him.” 

In the “Great American Novel”, 

Moby Dick, by Herman Melville, 

Chapter IX ‘The Sermon’, there is 

a preacher called “Father Mapple.” 

Father Mapple is modeled 

after the real life preacher who 

preached at the Whaleman’s 

Chapel in New Bedford which 

still stands today. Melville’s 

sermon is a stand alone masterpiece 

within a masterpiece. 

It concludes with these words, 

“And eternal delight and deliciousness 

will be his, who 

coming to lay him down, can say 

with his final breath—O Father!— 

chiefly known to me by Thy 

Rod—mortal or immortal, here 

I die. I have striven to be Thine, 

more than to be this world’s, or 

mine own. Yet this is nothing; I 

leave eternity to Thee; for what 

is man that he should live out the 

lifetime of his God?” 

I told my Cath Lab nurse that I 

did not know why God saved me, 

but I intend to find out. I do not 

know what that may look like, 

but I trust God. 


HOUSTON POLICE OFFICERS UNION 

from the president 

HPOU contract the product of long hours 

of hard work; It’s now in the hands of City 

Council for its approval. 

After four long months of going 

back and forth with the city, 

we now have a contract. I want 

to first thank all of those who 

made it out to vote. I am sad to 

say that only 1,600 of our 5,100 

members voted in the ratification 

of the contract. 

This is not unusual as we only 

had 1,891 vote in the last contract 

election. The contract did 

pass with a vote of 1,101 voting 

for and 510 voting against. 

Many of you asked questions 

about why we do not have 

online voting for the contract. 

There are several reasons for 

this, including the fact that it is 

a labor contract, and we must 

be certain no one is voting for 

another person. 

Secondly, we want officers to 

attend informational meetings 

or meet with someone who 

negotiated the contract before 

voting to make sure the officer 

received the correct information. 

A few folks, for whatever 

reason, tried to kill this contract 

vote with false information. 

There were several lies 

that were pushed around the 

department, one of which was 

from the leader of another 

employee group. Even some of 

DOUGLAS GRIFFITH 

his members were disappointed 

and shared his email with 

me. I was very disappointed in 

the fact that many just believed 

whatever was on social media 

and refused to educate themselves. 

When people came to the 

Union and asked questions, they 

were given a contract, and a 

highlight sheet, and then I or 

another HPOU board member 

answered all of their questions. 

Many of our board members 

started at stations Tuesday 

morning, telling everyone they 

could about the contract and 

answering questions. We then 

held informational sessions 

every hour at the Union until 1 

a.m. Then we had sessions several 

times a day every day until 

the end of voting. We went 

around the clock because one 

of the most important functions 

of a union is the contract vote. 

I want everyone to understand 

that there is absolutely no 

way that this organization will 

ever jeopardize our members 

with anything in a contract. Everything 

we do in bargaining is 

to better what we have and to 

make sure our rights are protected. 

With all of the “police reform” 

going on around the 

country, we were able to prevent 

the erosion of rights like 

those seen in Austin and San 

Antonio. I am also well aware 

that we cannot make everyone 

happy, nor is that my job. 

My job is to get the best deal 

we could possibly get – and we 

did. I am proud of the bargaining 

team and the product 

that was produced from all 

of its hard work. This was a 

time-consuming process that 

took many long days, late hours 

and weekends. This was a long 

hard process that is now moving 

to City Council for a vote. 

Thanks to all who participated. 

If you have any questions or 

comments, you are always welcome 

to call or email me. 


NOT SO BRIGHT AWARD 

lig ht bul b award 

50,572 OPEN WARRANTS 

IN HARRIS COUNTY ALONE 

According to the Harris County 

Sheriff’s Dept, there are 50,672 open 

arrest warrants in Harris County. 

About 25,292 of those are charged 

with felonies. More than 700 people 

have been charged with murder. 

All have open arrest warrants and 

remain either on the streets thanks 

to the Living Dead on Harris County 

Commissioners Court. Otherwise 

known as Judge Hidaldo “Dora” & 

Commissioners Garcia and Ellis. 

Lt. Kacey Haberland, who works 

in the criminal warrants division, 

admits his team is overwhelm¬ed 

“It’s a high number. It’s not good 

to have anyone on a violent crime 

running around, but there’s only so 

many investigators and officers who 

can run these warrants,” Haberland 

said. 

According to Haberland, this does 

not mean more than 700 murder 

suspects are wandering our streets. 

He said some suspects are in custody 

in other locations waiting to be 

extradited to Harris County. However, 

he doesn’t know how many. Still, 

he predicts there are hundreds. 

Beloved and long-time Cracker 

Barrel employee, 59-year-old Robin 

Baucom, was shot and killed in 

January while protecting another 

employee at work during an attempted 

robbery. 

Her killer, Nathan Humphrey, was 

later killed by deputies who were 

trying to arrest him. (No Loss Here) 

Humphrey had five outstanding 

warrants at the time of the murder 

- three were for felonies. According 

to court records, Humphrey had 

a violent criminal past. He was 

charged with aggravated assault of 

a family member and burglary of 

a habitation for allegedly breaking 

into his girlfriend’s home and assaulting 

her more than four months 

before the Cracker Barrel shooting. 

It was not until he was accused 

of murder that he became a priority 

to track down. Baucom’s sister, Gail, 

is left wondering whether her sister 

would still be alive if officers tried 

to arrest Humphrey sooner. 

“You wonder why. What can be 

done?” Gail asked. “Does anyone 

care that can make the changes? 

Do you not care what happens to 

innocent people?” 

In an ABC13 report, they uncovered 

fewer than 10% of people with 

warrants were being arrested every 

month in 2021. While arrests are 

happening, there are roughly 4,000 

to 6,000 new warrants every month. 

“We are in the negative. We are 

in the red every time on the warrant 

count, more coming in than we are 

able to arrest,” Haberland said. 

The majority of the arrests come 

from traffic stops. However, ABC13 

wanted to know how many deputies 

are going out and arresting people 

on warrants each day. 

Records show only 17 investigators 

and sergeants within the Harris 

County Sheriff’s Office criminal 

warrant division are working to 

find wanted offenders. This means, 

Harris County Judge Nora Hidalgo, Commissioners Garcia 

and Ellis all voted against giving the 

 

 

slightly more than a dozen officers 

are responsible for looking for more 

than 25,000 suspects wanted for 

felonies right now. 

“We have so many murders in 

Harris County, unincorporated, or 

the city of Houston, that they focus 

predominately on murders,” Haberland 

said. 

Because that takes a priority, 

it means those wanted for other 

crimes, like in Humphrey’s case, a 

convicted felon, wanted for assaulting 

and breaking into his girlfriend’s 

apartment, are put on the back 

burner. 

“It should be a priority, I will be 

the first to say it, but there are not 

enough people,” Haberland said. 

Haberland said the spike in crime, 

not enough officers running warrants, 

and outside factors like the 

court backlog, are the reasons they 

can’t keep up, and in turn, there are 

victims like Robin Baucom, whose 

lives are lost to senseless violence. 

“Until something is done to get a 

handle on the crime out there and 

give the police what they need - the 

backing, the money, to get more 

effort into getting people off the 

streets, it’s going to get worse,” Gail 

said. It can happen to anyone. And 

when it happens to your family, 

you realize how much needs to be 

changed.” 

HERES THE LIGHT BULB AWARD. 

Harris County Commissioner’s 

Court passed a $2.1 billion budget 

in 2022 for the Harris County Sheriff’s 

Dept. Sheriff Ed Gonzalez had 

asked for an additional 19 NEW 

deputy positions within the warrants 

division and 12 civil record 

specialists to handle the administrative 

duties. 

HOW MANY DID HE GET? ZERO! 

NOT a single dollar was approved 

to add more staff to the warrants 

division. Gonzalez says the numbers 

are concerning, and residents 

! 

deserve to know when there will be 

a change. 

“We are not going to give up, and 

we are working closely with HPD 

and will try to grow partnerships to 

expand our reach and pursue more 

wanted offenders,” Gonzalez said. 

THE ANSWER 

Vote these three Walking Dead 

Court Members OUT. Let’s elect 

someone who cares about the citizens 

in Harris County and make our 

streets safe again. 

In the meantime, let’s form a joint 

task force with every department 

in Harris and surrounding counties, 

offering up a few good men and 

women for up to 30-days. 

Put 150 officers on the ground everyday 

rounding up these convicts. 

In less than a month I’m betting at 

least half will be behind bars.

Cultural Competence for Law Enforcement 

Mental Health Service Providers. 

There is no question that the 

lack of trust by law enforcement 

officers is a significant challenge 

for mental health professionals, 

however, I also contend that 

some of these barriers can be 

addressed early with the selection 

of a qualified clinicians and/ 

or service provider group. I want 

to offer a few important questions 

for consideration to the 

decision makers in law enforcement 

agencies, to include human 

resource departments. How 

prepared are your employee assistance 

program mental health 

professionals in effectively providing 

services to your officers? 

Do you know and understand 

their training, licensure, education, 

views, and counseling approaches 

with law enforcement? 

Have you taken the time to meet 

in person with the provider(s) to 

discuss your officer and agency 

needs? Are you utilizing the same 

mental health professional to 

provide fit for duty evaluations, 

support, and counseling? Are you 

selecting providers because they 

simply provided the lowest and 

most cost-effective bid for the 

provision of services? Does the 

provider make consistent efforts 

to attend continuing educational 

opportunities on law enforcement 

or new treatment techniques? 

These questions should 

be essential steps in the selection 

process. 

I have been told on numerous 

occasions that there are very 

few mental health professionals 

who truly “understand” the law 

enforcement culture. I simply 

cannot argue against this fact. 

It is known in my social work 

profession as having “cultural 

competence” with those to 

which we provide psychological 

and counseling services. Cultural 

competence is defined as the 

ability to understand, communicate 

with, and effectively interact 

with people across varying 

cultures. It also requires mental 

health professionals to be aware 

of our own world view (any biases 

and values) and to develop 

and maintain positive attitudes 

towards cultural differences 

and an appreciation of diverse 

cultural practices. Sounds easy, 

right? Not by a long shot. 

In 2000, I stepped foot for the 

first time into a classroom to 

teach an in-service training on 

mental health to a small group 

of deputy sheriffs in a southern 

rural county sheriff’s office. My 

presentation was only slated for 

an hour, but I clearly remember 

every sarcastic eye roll, groan, 

sigh, and distancing example of 

body language. I was admittedly 

stunned at the lack of interest 

because I naively thought that if 

this was interesting and important 

to me, it should be to them 

as well. I learned a powerful 


lesson that day. If I was going to 

continue to teach and interact 

with law enforcement officers, 

I must seek to understand what 

drives them and yes, learn their 

“culture,” 

Despite the advancements in 

the law enforcement culture regarding 

the need to more openly 

embrace and practice mental 

health I continue to hear horror 

stories from officers. The most 

common occurs when an officer 

shares a difficult story with 

a therapist who is not trained 

in trauma-based approaches 

with first responders thus creating 

what is best described as a 

“deer in headlights” look for the 

professional. It can be shocking 

and a bit overwhelming for 

those without a solid foundation 

of understanding of police and 

what realistically falls into the 

realm of “normal” experiences 

for an officer. 

On a positive note, I do believe 

there are many mental health 

professionals who are interested 

in becoming more culturally 

competent in law enforcement 

norms, values, policies, and the 

challenges of the field. But it 

does take time and training and 

lots of patience. Both the agency 

and the professional must work 

collaboratively to build this beneficial 

relationship. I encourage 

thinking outside of the box ideas 

including regularly riding with an 

officer to observe the conditions 

of the job, eating a meal with a 

group of LEOs, volunteering to 

teach mental health topics in the 

academy, and simply taking the 

time to get to know our wonderful 

men and women in uniform. 

With the assistance of Dr. Nancy 

Wesselink in Georgia, we are 

currently developing a curriculum 

to offer to trauma trained 

mental health professionals who 

seek to become culturally competent 

with officers. I recognize 

it is a small step but an important 

one no less. For those interested 

in attending this crucial 

training, either virtually or in 

person, please contact me directly 

at tjaeckle@bellsouth.net.

Field to Table Recipes: My Top Favorites (Part 2) 

For many of us, the fall has 

been filled with days hunting 

deer, birds, and small game 

resulting in freezers full of meat 

ready to be cooked into amazing 

table fare. Preparing a meal 

from wild game is not only 

amazing to share with friends, 

but it completes the hunting 

adventure. Sometime back in 

my youth, I made the life-long 

pledge to the Hunting Gods that 

I will not shoot it unless I enjoy 

eating it. Therefore, for me personally, 

I don’t do a lot of small 

game hunting and this probably 

explains why I love big game 

and dove hunting so much. 

Over the years I have enjoyed 

sharing my wild game cookouts 

with my family and friends 

and thought this month I would 

share two of my favorite crowd 

pleasers in the hopes that maybe 

you too can become the 

go-to chef for neighborhood 

parties. 

First a big disclaimer; I love 

cooking, but over the years I 

have developed my own style 

and philosophy of cooking. I 

believe cooking is an art, not a 

science, and therefore recipes 

are there to guide you, not be 

some chore that must me followed 

exactly. I encourage you 

to treat these two as just that, 

a guideline or starting point to 

which, you can add your own 

personality.Rusty’s Venison Chili: 

Each time I make my chili, it 

is slightly different based on 

the types of tomatoes/spices I 

find and the amount and type of 

meat I use. Also, it all changes 

based on the variety of ingredients 

I use depending on number 

of people I am trying to feed. 

This is the base recipe for feeding 

about 4-5 people: 

INGREDIENTS: 

-2lbs of Ground Sausage 

(Either Elk or Venison or one of 

each. ) 

-1lb of Ground Bison or Regular 

Hamburger 

-1 large yellow or white onion 

-1 entire head of Garlic minced 

-About 5 regular size cans 

of diced or crushed Tomatoes 

with various spices included. 

Tomatoes with Garlic/Onion, or 

with Basil/Olive Oil, or whatever 

spices you can find added to 

diced or crushed tomatoes that 

sounds good for your chili 

-1-2 small cans of Rotel Tomatoes 

“Original” 

-1 additional large can of 

Crushed Tomatoes (Just to have 

to add to get the right consistency 

at the end) 

-2 cans of beans. I know there 

is a massive Texas debate about 

beans added to chili…I like 

them, so I add one can of black 

beans with Jalapenos and one 

can of chili beans (pinto style) 

that has chili spices 

-1Tablespoon of Chili Powder 

-1 teaspoon of Paprika 

- teaspoon of Salt 

-Shredded Cheese 

-Big Bag of Fritos Corn Chips 

or White Rice cooked as instructed 

by package if you 

prefer 

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: 

-Chop up the onion pretty fine 

and add to a large skillet/pot 

-Chop or mince all of the garlic 

cloves and add to the skillet/ 

pot 

-Add all of the meat to the 

skillet and cook until meat is 

browned. 

-Add all of the Cans of Tomatoes 

and Beans. 

-Add the Chili Powder, Paprika, 

and salt 

-Simmer for at least 30 min 

but longer is better…I let mine 

simmer for hours and keep 

checking it and adding what I 

think it needs to get it where I 

like it. 

-Taste and add additional seasoning 

as required (Additional 

cans of Rotel Tomatoes or Add 

Fresh Jalapenos or green chilis 

for more spicy vs adding more 

Chili powder) 

Serve over Fritos or Rice 

topped with shredded cheese 

as preferred. It is also highly 

recommend serving with Cornbread 

that has been made with 

double the eggs, small can of 

cream style corn and shredded 

cheese in addition to the package 

instructions. Enjoy!
