SOUR LAKE — A contentious news conference unfolded today over a traffic stop that went viral on video. "Are you telling me that the video shows him handcuffed being choked, while he's handcuffed, being choked, and all that's worth is a damn citation like this?" asked civil rights activist Quanell X. "Do you support that?" That was part of a heated back-and-forth between Quanell X and a man watching a news conference today, during which the civil rights activist and Candice Matthews announced the filing of a federal lawsuit linked to the Sour Lake police interaction with Kendrick Bates. The federal lawsuit is linked to a traffic stop captured on video October 5, showing Sour Lake Police Chief Aaron Burleson and another officer detaining Bates after he pulled over at his home. We're told they said he ran two stop signs. Bates said they were in a pickup truck, with no lights or markings, and he wasn't sure what was going on. This afternoon, the two activists held a news conference in front of the Sour Lake Police Department to announce they have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city, the police chief, and the other officer, on behalf of Bates. They're seeking financial damages. "It's hard for me and my family to go out in public," said Bates, "you know, go out and eat. I go to work and people at the jobsite recognize me. They point me out by name, point my pickup truck out." Bates would not answer our questions about whether he ran the stop signs. Wednesday night, Sour Lake City Council is scheduled to discuss the traffic stop and the police chief in executive session. ]]> Wed 21 Oct 2026 16:56:20 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620911/activists-allege-misconduct-after-video-shows-sour-lake-officer-holding-man-s-neck/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620889/white-mercedes-flees-scene-after-dramatic-highway-crash-on-i-35-in-dallas/

Fed-up Texas mom got one of these mailers and put it on video so every parent could see exactly what’s being sent into homes. Addressed to the “students” of the household from the so-called Texas Transgender Student Union, the glossy “Texas Trans & LGBTQ+ Student Resource Guide” tells minors what to do if their parents “don’t support” them: go find a “safe adult,” a teacher, counselor, therapist, or youth organization staff member. It walks them through how a 16- or 17-year-old can petition for emancipation. It points them toward hormones and out-of-state care, and finishes by saying they don’t have to convince Mom and Dad because outside groups will become their “found family.” The organization whose name and resources are plastered all over it has denied sending the mailers and called them impersonations. That doesn’t change what the flyer actually does. Somebody paid to print it, addressed it to kids, and dropped it in mailboxes right before early voting, coaching minors on how to cut their parents out of medical and legal decisions. This mother is done staying quiet. She’s telling every parent to vote to protect their children, because whoever is behind these mailers is coming for the kids. Parents are not the enemy. The people mailing roadmaps to emancipation and out-of-state medical care to minors are. ]]> Wed 21 Oct 2026 06:08:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620882/this-is-absolutely-disgusting/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1620872/person-in-joe-biden-mask-and-charlie-kirk-shirt-eats-banana-on-texas-family-s-doorbel/
WATAUGA, Texas - Doorbell camera footage of a masked person in Watauga eating a banana hasn't resulted in criminal charges being filed, but police say they're aware of similar reports across the community.
