When Van Zandt county officers kick and beat ANYONE it is a disgrace to our community. An inmate laying face down with their hands behind their back wasn't posing a threat. Looking for other officers to show up and telling the inmate we should just shoot you and take your body out to the woods! Perhaps our law officers were embarrassed because their truck was taken?? When an inmate is taken to a home that was burgularized and told "He's at home, he's pissed and has a gun" would be enough to scare anyone in to trying to escape. Why didn't Grimes and the other officer stay at the scene with the sheriff showed up? Maybe THEY didn't want to be questioned as to how this young man came to be beaten?? Wake up people it's bad enough that we have criminals here without law officers being corrupt.

We like our deputies to beat criminals like you. It makes you flee to Illinois.

Daily Horoscope for December 10

Aries

One of the family needs plenty of love and attention today, but the trouble is that you may not be able to spare the time. If so, you'll be consumed with guilt and self-reproach, and this may become so strong that it casts a blight over the day. So do what you can to let them know you're thinking about them, but resist the temptation to berate yourself over things you can't change.
