Dashcam Shows Police Chase of Stolen Vehicle Suspects in Lufkin, Texas. Around 11:25 a.m., Lufkin Police officers attempted to do a traffic stop on a stolen Chevy 2500 in the Walmart parking lot. The driver later identified as Devonsea Thomas, 17, of Lufkin, refused to stop. He continued on behind the store and through the parking lot of neighboring businesses before taking the Brentwood Drive extension to Loop 287. Thomas continued northbound on Loop 287 and took the Chestnut Street exit inbound toward Timberland Drive.

He attempted to turn onto Kornegay Street, but took the turn too fast and crashed into the street sign. The truck then rolled back into the lead officer’s Tahoe. Thomas and his two passengers identified as Tyler Lopez, 19, and Armani Moore, 18, both of Lufkin, fled on foot. Officers ran down all three of the men moments later and took them into custody. Officers who arrested Moore saw him throw a backpack toward a fence as he fled.

Inside the backpack, officers found a pistol, digital scales and a metal grinder. Lopez was in possession of Xanax at the time of his arrest. He tried to leave it in the floorboard of the officer’s patrol vehicle. After being questioned about it, he admitted that it was his and that he tried to dump it in the officer’s vehicle. Officers who arrested Thomas saw him throw a gun just before taking him into custody.

That gun was also recovered. All three men are awaiting book-in at the Angelina County Jail. The truck was reported stolen from the Fuller Springs area overnight January 21. The owner’s father was on the scene. It will be returned to him after it has been processed for evidence. The Texas Department of Public Safety worked the crash between the stolen vehicle and the officer’s Tahoe. Minor damage was reported.

Take a good look at this photo. This photo was taken at a gay pride event in San Francisco. A police officer is taking time to interact with kids and give them stickers, trying to make a positive and important impact on the community he serves, and have fun doing it (note the Mardi Gras beads around his neck). I think you all can read the sign the person is holding who is standing next to them...
This is what police work looks like.
Well done, officer.

After a woman was taken to the hospital with low bloodsugar, two policemen stayed behind to prepare dinner for the five kids who were still in the house. Afterwards, they also did the dishes.

Left downplaying MS-13 threat, making America less safe

The man who allegedly opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, this past August, killing 22 people and injuring 24 others, was handed a 90-count indictment charging him with federal hate crimes. Patrick Crusius, 21, of Allen, Texas, allegedly gunned down the busy store with a semi-automatic weapon on Aug. 3, 2019, where hundreds of shoppers and at least 100 employees were inside during the busy back-to-school shopping season. U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas John Bash told reporters Thursday that the hate crime charges were a testament to the Justice Department's commitment to tamp down the "resurgent threat of violence motivated by race, national origins and other categories." He added that the case was being treated as an act of domestic terrorism.

A Kansas man who led cops on a high-speed pursuit along the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade route said he had no idea he was in a car chase because he was too high to remember, according to authorities.

'He has no idea of the car chase even taking place.'
