Four deputies rough up an 80 year old man and knock his son unconscious? Infuriating!These deputies should be in jail. The @sshole on the other side of the fence must be mighty proud.

Use of a baton on the head, spine, or genital area is considered deadly force by the federal government. These folks should get a lawyer.

“Threadgills” is/was the name of a great restaurant in Austin. Anybody know if this guy was affiliated?

Now c'mon, y'all.

these fine deputies are just fine tuning their training for when "the WON" declares Martial Law and they start rounding up all us Tea Party Terrorists for the internment camps.

These 'officers of the law' have been thoroughly brain washed) ah, schooled in tactics to take down 'enemies of the Obama State' -

Be afraid.

Be very afraid.

The old gentleman may have a $1,000 dollar fine hanging over his head - but he should end up owning that police dept.

neighbor, who witnessed the incident, confirmed that he saw two deputies throw the 80-year-old Threadgill to the ground then jump on his head and back while wrenching his arms behind him until Threadgill screamed out in pain. He then looked over to see Stephen unconscious on the ground with two other deputies handcuffing him.

The thug cop division gets up set when you do not kneel properly. It's a wonder they didn't taze him four are five times.

I lived in Hays County for six years and had multiple encounters with the Sheriff’s department there and the deputies were never anything less than courteous and professional. I hope these charges prove to be baseless.

These punk arrogant bully deputies should be stripped of their badges, guns, and all things sharp & pointy - then be given a 5 minute head start. Clearly they all need to experience real fear.

Cops with a punk concentration camp guard psyche need to be on the receiving end of their cruelty. They endanger every other good cop out there with this behavior.

Let’s hope the powers that be have the sense to throw these animals to the wolves.

Yeah, right, the witnesses who saw all this were probably lying, right?/SAR

From the account I think the truth about these thugs with badges has been told.

I am sure the witnesses are lying and the two men intentionally injured themselves.

I hope these charges prove to be baseless.

It an unrelated story witnesses reported pigs flying in the same area.

“Cops with a punk concentration camp guard psyche need to be on the receiving end of their cruelty.”

Upon conviction of any of the felonies they committed, simply put them in with the rest of the general prison population.

Problem solved in short order.

However, I am convinced that such criminals in uniform should be either executed or permanently exiled. Russia can use their ‘talents’, as can many African ‘societies’.

“From the account...” that’s really all we have at this point, isn’t it?

Not saying this is not true, I’m saying it seems out of character with my very brief experiences with the department.

If true, I hope the deputies face the consequences, but I still hope it isn’t true.

I sent a message to three of Mr. Threadgill’s children asking if they are related to Kenneth ~ I’ll let you know as soon as I hear from one of them.

Albie - Kenneth Threadgill sold his place in the mid 70’s (I think), since the place was so popular the new owner kept the name.

Maybe some bad seeds got into the department after you left.

I hope these charges prove to be baseless.

I posted this thread because I knew the Threadgill family when I was a child, and am still friends with two of his children. This is not something they made up.
