This is Texas so there is no (R) or (d) behind these names, but we know who is what.

A Democrat's department (Salazar) gets cash for a item, a Republican (Deberry)makes fun of this Democrat and is ridiculed online by the cash donor's fans. A second Democrat (Wolfe) defends the Republican (Deberry), and the second Democrat (Wolfe) supports buying said first Democrat's (Salazar) item with taxpayer funds.

Judge Wolff says $32k donation for rescue boat shouldn't be used after social media attack
SAN ANTONIO The Bexar County judge is telling the sheriff he can't use funds a veteran-owned business donated after a social media attack.

Judge Nelson Wolff wrote to Sheriff Javier Salazar Monday, saying he is taking a stand against what he called "one of the ugliest and most blatant displays of sexism and personal attacks" he's ever seen.
-------------------------------------
"Commissioner DeBerry's behavior was absolutely unprofessional, and, I might add, perhaps the most unprofessional behavior I have seen from a Bexar County Commissioner as I enter my 5th year of office as Bexar County Sheriff," Salazar said. "This seems clear, in light of the spontaneous expression of marked disapproval of Commissioner DeBerry's behavior by the speaker who followed me at the podium."

Judge Wolff said the commissioners are still waiting to hear Salazar's pitch.
So drunk off so little power....
Quote:

"[Black Rifle Coffee] will step in and make sure our communities have the equipment they need as you sit on your high horse and fail the people you were elected to serve," the post reads. "Good luck during the next election season, because I will be making my own ads free of charge for you."

The comment section then lit up with hundreds of comments attacking DeBerry.

"It is beyond reprehensible when community leaders encourage such behavior for political purposes," Wolff said.

In the letter, Wolff says he will oppose any funds gifted from Black Rifle being used for the boat or any other county purposes. However, Wolff said he will support paying for the boat with county funds, should Salazar provide details on the operation, liability, storage, maintenance and staffing costs.

We have reached out to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, but have not yet heard back.
All this BS over a jon boat?

Salazar had sought approval in April to accept a donated $20,000 boat for rescue and recovery efforts, but that was derailed by some opposition by the commissioners court.

"I'm going to be blunt here. I think it's insulting and I think it's insensitive that you're spending $20,000 on a shiny new toy or a boat," Commissioner Trish DeBerry a Republican told the sheriff at the time.

"I do beg to differ. It's not a shiny new toy," the sheriff responded then. "It's something that we've seen a need for."

Wolff said the commissioners court had not been briefed by Salazar since that exchange and only found out about Black Rifle Coffee Company's donation through a newspaper article.
------------------------------
Wolff said that post led to other social media posts like:
"BRCC taking down one Sh*tty politician at a time"
"What rhymes with bunt and starts with the next letter in the alphabet"
"Her son looks like he roofies girls at parties and gets his mommy to make it go away"
"F*** yes"

The county judge then accused the sheriff of ignoring the commentary.
Come on people.
This is like Twitter on a Tuesday.

Take the money, buy the boat, move on.

This seems like a good test for San Antonio.

Can a public official survive in office after attacking and being petty with a Veteran Owned Business in a city that would barely exist in the way that it does without the Military and Retired Vets that live there and create a pretty healthy economy and economic growth?

"Black Rifle Coffee Company is a coffee company based in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, owned by former members of the armed forces of the United States. It gained national attention in 2017 after pledging to hire 10,000 veterans after Starbucks pledged to hire 10,000 refugees."

Now I want a cup of coffee and a ride in the shinny new toy.

It may be based in SLC but half of the owners and management live in Texas.

Also, if Bexar county wants to act like little beeches, the county of Sully Dog of Eastern Nevada could really use $32K for a new boat. There are a lot of women that need rescuing up on Lake Tahoe.

Part that cracks me up is--- when someone goes after a D on social media, THEN we start caring. Go after an R---- Nelson Wolfe don't care.

Pretty sure that if BRC delegated those funds to be used to purchase a specific item, Bexar County could find itself in a pickle. Designated funds are "counted" differently than normal governmental funds acquired through taxation/fees.

Hopefully BRC designated it so that the sheriff's department can tell that commissioner to go pound some Mexican sand somewhere.

Ok, I'm going to have to go back and take notes... I have no idea who is who, who said what, who's mad at who, and why.

All I've got is the sheriff wanted a jon boat, I think black rifle coffee donated money, and others are in a pissing match.

This is just local petty politics. Here is my take...

The sheriff manages the sheriff's department, but the commissioners court controls the budget. They are constantly butting heads publicly and behind doors. Lately, the court has been on the sheriff's department for all the overtime at the county jail. It does not help that every couple of weeks we hear another story about a jailer getting fired for inappropriate behavior with an inmate or some other stuff.

So just recently the sheriff goes to court to ask for money to buy a used boat. Normally, the sheriff would have briefed the court ahead of time for this high profile purchase, but he didn't. The court sees it on the agenda, asks a lot of questions, and tables the request until they get their questions answered to their satisfaction.

The crux seems to be the department has access to boats from other agencies like SAPD and Parks Department so the court wants to know if the sheriff's department truly needs a boat. The old saying is a boat is a hole in the water you just pour money in. Buying a boat is just the beginning of a long term budget item.

God forbid our elected officials ask questions about where our money is spent. For once Wolff did his damn job. That guy never met a public dollar he didn't mind spending. And the line Republican is getting lumped in with the Defund The Police movement .

Suddenly the politicians are the bad guys. In comes BRCC to donate $32k to the Bexar County Sheriff's Foundation. This is a non-profit set up for the expressed goal of administering gift and donations to the department. BRCC has good intentions, no doubt, but they are getting in the middle of local politics. Wolff finds out and says the court reserves the right to veto the purchase/gift unless the sheriff's department can make a better case how the maintenance will be paid.

This is a stupid squabble because our midget sheriff would rather complain on TV than get rid of the dead weight in the BCSD

BCSD has been trash for decades. It is one of the most undisciplined, corrupt and inept organizations in the country and that is saying a lot. It is not uncommon to hear on the local news about a sheriff being arrested for DWI, fighting in bars, molesting women, etc...

Hard to do that whey there is a socialist union in place.
They should all be "at will" like most everyone else in Texas.

You make an excellent point there, but "she is a **nt "according to popular coffee making combat veterans so we shall see where it all goes at election time.

Trish made millions as a PR professional. She flubbed this exchange.

Thanks you for posting that strong explanation!
You break it down brilliantly.

She let herself get thrown under the bus, for sure. She should have known better.
