This is happening on Sunday at the Brazos Center in Bryan. From organizers: "On 5/31/26 at 5pm, we are asking women, families, friends, and this entire community to come together for Nikki. To walk for her. To speak her name. To remind the world that she matters and that her boys are not alone. Those boys deserve to see that people still care. They deserve to feel arms around them, support behind them, and a community refusing to let their mother’s story fade into silence. We will walk. We will pass out flyers. We will pray. We will stand together demanding answers and justice. If you have ever looked at your own children and thought, “I would want people fighting for me,” then please come stand with us."

(2/2) The Story of "The Pole Guy" in Aggieland. 🙏 Rest In Peace

🎥FROM THE ARCHIVES: In 2009, KBTX put together a feature story on a guy known mostly around Aggieland as "The Pole Guy." His real name was Bart Braden, and his son shared with us recently that his father passed away earlier this year. He was an Air Force veteran who served in three wars and was a part-time student at Texas A&M who loved to run. (1/2) See the video in the thread ⬇️

🔴TX DEPUTY ARRESTED🔴 A Montgomery County Precinct 3 deputy has been terminated and is now facing criminal charges after authorities say he misused law enforcement databases. Investigators allege the deputy accessed information through official systems and used it to stalk a woman he previously dated. The deputy was placed on administrative leave in April and officially terminated on Friday as the investigation continued. Critics of Flock cameras say this is why more guardrails and oversight are needed for these data-collection systems. QUESTION: Do you think law enforcement officers who misuse confidential databases should face harsher penalties than the average citizen? Why or why not?

🔴MUST READ: Yes, even college stations can fall victim to these scams. ✍Here's a note I received from a mom, who says her son was a target. Check out her message, share it with others, and warn them. 💬 "Rusty, I wanted to see if you could make the kids in College Station aware of a scam that went on with my son yesterday. He received a phone call from someone posing as a law enforcement officer. They told him he had received a summons in the mail but had not responded. Therefore, they are issuing a failure-to-appear and contempt-of-court warrant against him. They told him he needed to pay money so he would not incur further charges before he showed up at the police station. So he proceeded to cash app them $500. Then the law enforcement transferred him over to a captain who said he had a second warrant that needed to be paid down as well. He didn't have the money, so he called his family, and we Cash Apped $500 like dummies. On every phone call he made, they made him merge and listen to whoever he was talking to. He even had to call Chase to push the fraudulent transaction through. They had him so scared told him that he had a gag order and could not tell anybody what this was about, only that it was a personal problem. He then told me he was proceeding to the police station. I told him I had to go with him, and they told him he could not stop anywhere. He had to drive straight there. But in the meantime, they had him stop at the CVS to make a direct deposit using a scan bar they sent him via text. He didn’t end up doing this. The phone number was a non-caller ID number that could not be traced. In the end, we convinced him it was a scam. He hung up the phone after over four hours on the phone with them, stressed out in his car by himself, trying to figure out how to overcome this problem. We just want all the young kids out there to know that this is a big scam. They knew where he worked, his address, and info about his parents. He was terrified of what was happening, even though he had not done anything. 💔 Thanks for listening. D.F.
