Brenham, Texas – Officer Torres was terminated for lying during the police investigation of the relationship between him and supervisor Sgt. Tiffany Anderson.
Officer Torres was going to his suprvisor house at 4 in the morning while on duty. If Officer Anderson were Torres supervisor, why did she let it continue?
Officer Anderson and Torres both admitted to deleting text messages from the city of Brenham’s work phones in hopes of not getting caught.
Two Brenham police officers were cleared of allegations involving an improper relationship due to a lack of evidence, though one officer was later fired for unrelated issues
The day after Christmas last year, a complaint was filed alleging an improper affair between Brenham Police Sergeant Tiffany Anderson and Officer Ramone Torres, who worked under Anderson’s supervision. The complaint claimed the alleged relationship had been ongoing for nearly a year.
Following the allegation, both Anderson and Torres were placed on a two-week paid administrative leave while the department conducted an internal investigation. After nearly a month-long review, Brenham Police Chief Gary Boshears concluded there was no evidence to substantiate the claim of an improper relationship between the two officers.

Personal Details of Thousands of Border Patrol and ICE Goons Allegedly Leaked in Huge Data Breach
A DHS whistleblower appears to have exposed data on federal immigration workers after the shooting of Renee Good
Sensitive details of around 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees—including almost 2,000 agents working in frontline enforcement—have allegedly been released by a Department of Homeland Security whistleblower following last week’s fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
The Jan. 7 killing of the mother by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked nationwide protests and worldwide outrage, including among some DHS employees.
The alleged leak to ICE List, a self-styled “accountability initiative,” is believed to be the largest ever breach of DHS staff data. It appears to include names, work emails, telephone numbers, roles, and some resumé data, including previous jobs of federal immigration staff.
ICE List founder, Dominick Skinner, told the Daily Beast: “It is a sign that people aren’t happy within the U.S. government, clearly. The shooting [of Good] was the last straw for many people.”
According to Skinner, who leads the volunteer-run website, the dataset includes about 1,800 on-the-ground agents and 150 supervisors. Early analysis by the organization suggests that around 80 per cent of the staff identified remain employed by DHS.

Trump tells the police in America to go F*ck themselves
Officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 say their struggles linger
Official plaque honoring U.S. Capitol police from Jan. 6 riot nowhere to be found
WASHINGTON — Approaching the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the official plaque honoring the police who defended democracy that day is nowhere to be found.
It’s not on display at the Capitol, as is required by law. Its whereabouts aren’t publicly known, though it’s believed to be in storage.
Determined to preserve the nation’s history, some 100 members of Congress, mostly Democrats, have taken it upon themselves to memorialize the moment. For months, they’ve mounted poster board-style replicas of the Jan. 6 plaque outside their office doors, resulting in a Capitol complex awash with makeshift remembrances.
Support your local police or a lunatic
Capitol Police officers who defended the building on Jan. 6 battle ongoing trauma and injuries, compounded by Trump’s pardons of 1,500 terrorists who attacked them.
Officers struggle not just with physical injuries but with public and political efforts to minimize the violence, despite video evidence documenting the brutal attack.
As Donald Trump was inaugurated for the second time on Jan. 20, 2025, former Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell put his phone on “do not disturb” and left it on his nightstand to take a break from the news.
That evening, his phone started to blow up with calls. He had messages from federal prosecutors, FBI agents and the federal Bureau of Prisons — all letting him know that the new president had just pardoned about 1,500 people who had been convicted for their actions at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The pardons included rioters who had injured Gonell as he and other officers tried to protect the building.
Preschool Teacher, 22, Arrested on TV After Condemning Trump
Cops moved in with handcuffs while the teacher was still on camera
January 06, 2026 – A preschool teacher was arrested on camera as soon as she finished a TV interview criticizing Donald Trump, fueling the debate over protest policing and free speech.
Jessica Plichta, 22, said she was the only person arrested among roughly 200 demonstrators at an anti-war protest in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Saturday, hours after Nicolas Maduro was detained in Caracas by the U.S. military.
In the broadcast footage, two officers could be seen approaching from behind as she wrapped her interview with WZZM, the city’s ABC affiliate, then escorted her away as she told them, “I am not resisting arrest.”
She also said officers repeatedly pressed her on whether she was Venezuelan, what her connection to Venezuela was, and why she had attended the protest. Plichta claimed they tried to get her to identify other demonstrators.
No more free speech in America?
The U.S. has fallen from third to ninth place in the global ranking for support of free speech rights since 2021, according to a new study published by the Future of Free Speech at Vanderbilt University.
The annual study, titled “Who in the World Supports Free Speech?” surveyed over 52,000 people about their support for free speech policies in 33 countries in October 2024.
This year’s findings show the U.S. has the third largest decline in support for free speech rights in the world, just behind Israel and Japan.
Plichta later told Zeteo: “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that as soon as I finished an interview speaking on Venezuela, I was arrested.”
She told the outlet the officers shoved her into the back of a patrol car without fastening her seat belt, then drove a short distance down the street—out of view of cameras and bystanders.
The government is always making Americans bend over
According to Plichta, they stopped again, pulled her out, bent her over the vehicle, patted her down, and took her belongings. She recalled one officer saying they moved her because she was “making a scene.”
“It just shows how much they feel they can get away with things, how easy it is for them to isolate people from the public eye when they’re doing this.”
Plichta said she largely stayed quiet as officers took her to jail, where she said the same questions continued. She was released about three hours later, after other protesters gathered to demand she be freed and was seen punching the air in a video shared on Facebook.

The truth about why Officer Ronnie Jackson resigned from the College Station Police Department
UPDATE:
The reason Officer Ronnie Jackson left the College Station Police Department was that he was having some personal issues in his “mind.” He seemed to be struggling and forgetting police equipment at home, including his gun. Jackson was questioned about leaving these items at home. Jackson indicated that he was distracted due to his sister being in the hospital. Jackson also mentioned that he needed to take his grandmother to the hospital to be with her.
The department decided to give him some time off so he could sort through his personal needs and return to focus on success. While Officer Jackson was off, his supervisor went up to the hospital to take his sister a card from the police department. When the supervisor arrived, he was told that Jackson’s sister had been discharged a week earlier. His superiors questioned Jackson about this, and Jackson fumbled through the story and consistently communicated this to others.
More on Officer Ronnie Jackson
Speculation on why Officer Jackson would not want the Brenham PD to call his former employer before he was hired
On his application, Jackson specifically requested that the department not contact the College Station PD as a reference. Such a request is highly unusual in law enforcement hiring, where reference and background checks from previous agencies are routine and expected. The decision raises questions about Jackson’s separation from College Station PD and what feedback that department might have provided.
Jackson listed his reason for leaving College Station PD as being “unhappy with his supervisors,” a vague explanation that leaves much to interpretation. The lack of detail makes it unclear whether the departure was voluntary or related to performance or disciplinary issues.
Sex Discrimination and Retaliation Allegations in Police Department Lawsuit
Officer Tiffany Anderson worked at the Wichita police department for seven years, having no trouble from her male colleagues. Officer Anderson was accused of several things by the department, including a hit-and-run she was allegedly involved in.
Anderson claimed that she had been treated unfairly due to her being a woman. Officer Anderson then used the vagina card and cried discrimination against the department, resigned, and then sued the department. The judge threw out her case.
It’s hard to know who to believe, because it’s a proven fact that all police officers lie.
Questions Raised Over How Washington County Sheriff Handled The Carey Counsil Incident
Community members are questioning how police discretion is applied following an incident involving Carey Counsil, a professor at Blinn College at Brenham.
According to reports, Counsil was involved in a single-vehicle crash in which his vehicle entered a pond. Authorities say he did not remain at the scene or contact law enforcement following the crash.
After leaving the area, Counsil reportedly walked for nearly four hours through wooded terrain while wearing only swim trunks. At approximately 4 a.m., he came upon a residence and entered the home, according to reports. He then entered a woman’s bedroom, waking her while she was asleep.
The incident has raised public questions about how law enforcement determines charges and exercises discretion in cases involving serious misconduct, particularly in comparison to how similar incidents involving other individuals are handled.
Officials have not publicly addressed whether professional status, circumstances, or other factors influenced the response or charging decisions in this case. The incident has prompted public scrutiny of how law enforcement applies charging decisions and discretion in serious cases, especially when compared with the treatment of others in similar situations.
