That was almost certainly for being a jerk if the news reports are correct. If the police had a reason to detain him for a violation such as expired registration, he has to identify himself. The report says that he was arrested for failing to identify himself. it was only a couple of traffic citations. Geez, identify yourself, sign the ticket and move on.

The hire has the approval of both Ira and Jacob Brooks. They both have stated they will be staying on as assistants.

I doubled checked with a good friend of mine who is a NP (and has his Doctorate) said there was zero chance this just popped up in the last 12 months - he said it was either complete incompetence or a cover up. He has had the best medical insurance for years, and you KNOW he had routine at least yearly exams and blood work. If it was not for the cover up of his mental well being, this would of possibly went under the radar. When you add the mental issues, and now the medical issues, this is going down as one of the biggest scandals in American history.....IMO

Yep, that’s why I said it was all nonsense. Of course he could get the Martha Stewart prosecution. Stewart was accused of insider trading and they couldn’t prove it but she stupidly did not remain silent and lied to the FBI. So she is now a convicted felon for obstruction of justice or whatever they call it.

I only had to make it to 57 to get it, luckily early detection, worked out.

If I was going to relax at the beach, it would not be during Jeep weekend.

For sure still playing in YMBL and James Gamble. Not sure what 3rd tourney they will play.

If he can get Silsbee to play defense like PA Memorial, that'll be a good thing. I really hope the Tigers lay off scheduling too tough of a non district schedule these next two years. No sense in getting relentless beat downs.

Silsbee pays terrible, there is going to be a negative over reaction to this hire, I think he will do fine, the negative reaction will come from people’s view of his lack of head coaching experience, but if they brought in a previous head coach people would say that guy didn’t win enough. I feel like a lot of people were scared away from replacing a legend with what is viewed as a down year in talent. The fact that is most people don’t want to take a $15,000 pay cut to hear about how they’ve run the program in the ground all year, when the fact that they had less talent than the previous guys probably had the last 15 years.

AND…. the fail to ID law that I mentioned is Texas law. Under Texas law, if you are not driving or you’re not under arrest, you do not have to identify yourself to the police. In approximately half of the states, if lawfully detained, you do have to identify yourself to the police or you are committing a crime.

I can do nothing but speculate but I suspect that any fail to ID was before any arrest. Up until two years ago, the only time you absolutely had to identify yourself to the police was if you’re actually under arrest. Of course, if you were driving, you had to present a drivers license or identify yourself, but you could not be arrested for failure to ID. If a driver refuse to give his identification, the police had to do what I called the Texas two-step. They had to arrest the driver for a valid charge like an expired license registration and then demand an ID after the arrest. A couple of years ago, the state finally changed that law and put failure to ID on the driver of a vehicle. I am kind of curious if they actually saw him driving or was he in a truck that was parked? If the police were just randomly patrolling and noticed the expired registration sticker, but did not see who was driving, could they lawfully demand his ID? Again, with knowing absolutely nothing of what actually happened, I could see a situation where it was possibly an unlawful arrest and all charges could be dropped against the Bpd officer. I would hope that the arresting officer actually knew what he was doing and probably so however, I’m not always that confident.

It does not make sense he refused to ID, knowing he was going to jail.....I mean, wouldn't you try and NOT arrest a fellow police officer if you could?

Like almost any other job, he could be fired for violating any policy violation. It’s not quite an at-will job because there has to be cause. In an at-will job a person can be terminated for almost any reason. In his case there has to a reason. An arrest is not likely a valid reason (not proven guilty) for termination but convictions or toss in things like conduct unbecoming of a police officer and it could be. These are just traffic citations though. Was it an expired license plate, an open container and not presenting a driver’s license? Strangely enough, the license and expired plate are always arrest-able offenses but the open container is not if in your county. I suspect that he could get as little as a written reprimand (which is not public by law) or a suspension without pay like maybe 3 to 7 days. That would be public. I am fairly certain that the Beaumont police are under state civil service laws. All police punishments are public information however state civil service law only recognizes a suspension as punishment. Verbal or written reprimands are not considered punishment. So could he be terminated? Sure. It will have to hold up to the scrutiny of an outside arbitrator though if they have the same grievance process that we have. So the officer’s lawyer and the city can go to one of the arbitration organizations and agree on an arbitrator to come in and hear the case. In our contract the arbitrator has to come from out of state. It is kind of like a court because each side can ask questions and call witnesses who are placed under oath.Also, if it is like ours, the arbitrator’s decision is final as it’s binding arbitration. I really have a hard time imagining that an outside arbitrator would look at three traffic citations and determine that is a valid reason to terminate a police officer. What we do not know and probably will never know, is if any officer has any history of policy violations unless it was a suspension. This officer might have a spotless record.

Yes

Sells was MVP for the 7th year in a row 😉 I’m joking but it seems like it. Not many have been that prolific for 4 years. Braelon Bush recently was but obviously was on much deeper teams, especially his first 3 years at Silsbee.

@baddog posted a thread with a video about a cover up scenario. Interesting watch.

Have not heard.

The raiders are rolling, Bennett has always done a great job and Mitchell might be a better pitching coach than he is on the hardwood.

video of TepAndStepp will be available free on DCTF YouTube Wednesday at noon!

I heard he is out and that a local assistant is in the mix now, have you heard the same?

There is no third party. The term third party is an idiom for any number of parties who are not Republicans or Democrats. I think common ones are the Libertarian Party, Green Party, Constitution Party, etc. The Dems and GOP stop them how? Those parties typically put up candidates. There simply isn’t this claimed third party and there is virtually no support for any of them. The absolute most that a third-party could do is to win maybe two states and deny anyone from getting the required 270 electoral college votes. That would throw it to the house of representatives. That is where the Constitution steps in. The House of Representatives chooses the next president. What third party, with zero members of the House, is going to win any election? The Democrats and Republicans don’t have to stop this magical third-party. Again, first off no third-party actually exists. Secondly, the most that another candidate could do is win a handful of votes and throw the election for the House. So yes, the Constitution stops any so called third party from the presidency.

Vets Park is an awesome field. It’s like stepping back in time.

That was included! 👍🏻

Thank you, some good stuff here!

Myers with the game winning HR. Cam Smith is going to be great. I really like that kid. Peña still producing. Great win.

I get all that. But I’d be just as upset if I rented a beach cabin months ago and showed up and there was thousands of drunks trashing up the beach and committing crimes

Herron did a good job there. Always competitive.

I’ve heard it said if any man lives long enough, he’ll get it eventually.

If I'm being honest, I think it's trivial at best. To me, the term to "86" something or someone means simply to get rid of or replace it - not necessarily through death or violence. I can't stand Comey, but this is a ridiculous non-event that shouldn't be wasting valuable time or resources. Move on, nothing to see here...

Dropping like flies……lmao [Hidden Content]

Reminiscing old times….I thought this would bring back some memories. I never touched the car cigarette lighter though. Lol

Thanks. It happens. Medical research shows that 80% of men over the age of 80 get some form of prostate cancer. He had a full life and was ready to be with my Mom. We knew it was coming, as he spent his last months living with us, so we were prepared.

Hopefully he will choose the best treatment option out of the ones available. Prayers for a full recovery. 🙏🏿

I say let the young man go to United. I hate to see him leave Silsbee. I will still cheer for him and Coach Green. Silsbee will be back in a year or 2. Get your licks now folks. Silsbee has a 7th grade group, a few 8th graders, and I heard some in that 5th and 6th grade that can really hoop. My hope is that Ira or Jacob are given the job. This would be very important to Silsbee and the community.

Will KJ play QB?

People from Houston will travel and people from Dallas won't. That's why Houston had low attendance numbers.
