These deputies supposed actions reflect the opposite of the Sheriff, Tommy Ratliff. Tommy got the Hays County job in a contested situation and there is a lot of bad blood in the county concerning Tommy's reelection. Tommy is a former Texas Ranger and was reared in Del Rio where we grew up. Until there is a complete investigation I will reserve any jerk that deserved it or bad cops statements. The election is just in a couple of months and there could be some political motive for the event also...just hypothesizing.

I will speak personally for the Sheriff, Tommy is about an upstanding individual as there can be in LE.

This is a discussion forum. We discuss. That politics thing goes both ways too. Also it’s my understanding that the Sheriff was not present. Just 4 deputies.

Perhaps this incident will start an apparently needed house cleaning by the Sheriff.

Don't think so.

Then he will not doubt fire the four deputies that did this.
