🚨UPDATE: UNHINGED TEXAS COP PullS Over a PARAPLEGIC DRIVING A BLIND MAN RESIGNS & STARTS IN NEW CITY

🚨UPDATE: UNHINGED TEXAS COP PullS Over a PARAPLEGIC DRIVING A BLIND MAN RESIGNS & STARTS IN NEW CITY

DESCRIPTION:
Hey Watchdogs—welcome back to the BZ Watchdog News Network, where sunlight is still the best disinfectant and “qualified immunity” is a coupon bad cops keep trying to use after it’s expired. Tonight we’re updating the DeKalb incident featuring Officer William A. Rhodes—yes, the “I smell marijuana” special on a paraplegic driver and a fully blind passenger. After catching a §1983 civil-rights suit in Oklahoma, Rhodes leaves DeKalb and—as of Sept 25, 2025—pops up at Commerce PD. I issued a press release, emailed every city address, and the City Manager replied promising answers by Nov 7, 2025. Receipts on screen: TCOLE license, OK→TX hop, press release, City Manager email.
