Everybody seems to be under the impression that I’m disputing this. Not true.

I’m saying that based on the posting on Free Republic there is precious little to go on. I’m not calling anyone a liar or saying that this didn’t happen.

I am saying that this is very different from my limited experiences with Hays County deputies. What that means is that I would like to see something other than UNVERIFIED accounts before rushing to judgement.

I have read the FB page and seen the pictures. I have no reason to doubt it. Nor do I have a reason to believe it to be true. Seeing as how this is a very serious criminal matter I don’t see why so many people have a problem with waiting for at least some verification and corroboration from someone who is not immediately involved or directly related to those involved.

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.

I posted the blog article because no other media has picked it up (that I know of).

I am glad that your experiences with the Hays County deputies were different then those of Mr. Threadgill & his son. But that because you did not get beaten or threatened does not mean that it does not happen.

What that means is that I would like to see something other than UNVERIFIED accounts before rushing to judgement. A first hand account by Mr. Threadgill and a witness does not count as verified?

Like the deputies that did this to Mr. Threadgill and his son?
