A lying undercover agent arrested 46 people, most of them black, on drug charges
A small Texas town saw 13% of its black population arrested and charged with dealing cocaine. But a state judge in 2003 said the investigator behind the arrests was "the most devious, non-responsive law enforcement witness this court has witnessed in 25 years on the bench in Texas."

Why isn't he in prison? The US criminal justice system is a joke!
no kidding. that 'officer' i repulsive and a criminal.
The US justice department should be sued too
Not funny to 'blacks'!
He did what he was hired to do.
He was found guilty of perjury and sentenced to probation. Talk about complexion for the protection.
What kind of jury convicted these people with no evidence , A RACIST JURY.
An all white jury.

Lying on a police report should be a federal crime.
Yes it should
Filing a false police report is a crime!
@@adamcallahan242, I said Federal because the states don't prosecute officers.

That’s a fact!
Thandile Xaba dumpty wasn’t the one who enacted those laws. Joe Biden had a hand in it tho. Along with Reagan and the Clinton’s. Democrats and Republicans. They are all corrupt!

This man is sick...everyone of those he wrongfully incarcerated should receive compensation and he should be sent to jail
And it's more people out here just like him
I've met such a man. You'd NEVER know it as he is successful in business (realtor) , dresses nice, smiles, ... but in private conversation with me, he is one seriously scary man. His mind is criminal... but he has never been caught. A VERY clever guy. And laughs at his victims. He has tried in one case I know about to get an innocent man he knows tossed into jail.... and the man he targeted had never even met him. He laughs about that.
They said in the description it was the worst case they had seen in 25 years. Wake up.
All pigs are like this guy. All of them.
@@n3coreGames Because he was caught. There are others still free and have more victims who go unnamed.
@@mrsoshadabaadman feel free to report corrupt cops. Going 3 over and getting a ticket doesnt really equal this guys crimes.
He should be made to pay back every dime the government issued him. Period.
That money was split between him and the Sheriff. Probably not an equal split.
Yea prison also how about all the time he was framing those PEOPLE for
And he should bust rocks until he pays everyone who was in prison. (and that's a lot of rocks)
Shame upon those 12 men and women who gave a guilty verdict with no evidence other than the word of a government employee. That is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard. I pray those 12 jurors find themselves in the exact same situation and are also found guilty with no evidence. But then I’d have to be angry at another set of jurors.
Why he's still walking free is a joke to the justice system in America. Only in America cop system is a joke.
Justice....The system of wyte supremacy is, by design, a system of injustice.
@Andy Hastings the entire world watching knows why!
The DA and jury is just as racist.This cop ,jury and DA should get life
10 years of probation, and not even for lying to get these innocent people imprisoned but because during a hearing looking into what happened he falsely testified that he didn't that he'd been indicted for theft at the time he was hired by the sheriff. He was acquitted for the one other perjury charge, which was related fo filling up a personal vehicle at a government fuel pump. Bonus: during Coleman's perjury trial, the sheriff perjured himself, but was apparently never charged. justicedenied.org/issue/issue_27/coleman_convicted.html
because THIS IS AMERICA
Why is no one talking about the judges of Tulia handing out 90 years for a minor drug offense?
What
Or the prosecutor even bringing cases to trial, or the police even hiring a man like that. He says it himself, there were drugs in that town before him and there are drugs after him. He did nothing but destroy human lives and every step of the way the justice system helped him, which is key.
Thank you!
This system cannot, and will not stand. Sic semper tyrannis.
@Kenneth Bachman I don't doubt it. Systematic targeting
People like this man truly need to understand what a jail cell is for about 25yrs .
Tom Coleman was convicted but only was sentenced to 10 years probation.
This is absolutely incredible!!! And it's still people in prison because of cops and people lying on them!! Something has got to be done about this
People like him are in every police department in USA.
A Nightmare!
That's for sureeee100%
He represent all corrupt cops . Not the first time this happened, Still going on. All cops are criminals!.
They need to be found and hung
I love how after the unfortunate death of George Floyd, NOW my views on police aren't extreme. IT'S BEEN ON KZhead FOR 15 YEARS
Why is he not in prison for lying!
@slow motion The real ? is why are they still in prison???
not only lying, he should be in prison for the actual crimes he did at the other offices he worked at that they have evidence of.
Bc he’s white
@@mongrelgtv Did you see...they were all released...spent about 3 years inside for all the court work to get through. The black people were easy targets because they were poor. Thank goodness for NAACP legal intervention.
Why is he not dead is what I want to know!
I used to visit Tulia all the time before moving! I was about 13 when this happened. Still a little young but old enough to understand my mother's pain. She grew up in Tulia before moving to Kress...
This happened in Martin County Florida in the last couple years. The cops name was Steven O’Leary. He’s being charged with numerous felonies and going to prison for a long time.
Slavery, this is disgusting why isn't this guy in jail.
Because is a racist in an imperial nation.
2 things racists don't like: 1) being called racist and 2) black people
You hit the nail on the head, racist
I think true racists could care less if you called them racists. After all, they KNOW they are and most will say they are proud of it!
Ken Moore you're right! A racist hates to be out.
Donna Stokes-Manning that’s not really true. They claim racism can’t exist sometimes. A lot of them don’t like being labeled racist because of the repercussions
U sure right. When accused, they often refer to their so-called friendship with that unknown black person, dog, cat or goat, as rationale for not being racist. 😂
This has been happening for far too long! They should give these liars life already!!! How could you not understand the anger!

If he bought cocaine. Why wasn’t it booked into evidence. Where is the cocaine???
It was his coke... he snorted it!
There was no cocaine. Nothing was seized from anybody.

It was a long list of white lines and lies...
One guy said, “he’s that good of a liar”! No, he’s not a good liar. He didn’t have to be. The prosecutor, judges, sheriff, and juries all worked together to railroad black people.
Exactly!!!
All using the rules of the game "law and order" and when it's exposed it's not SYSTEMIC it's INDIVIDUALISTIC 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 People from this part of the world makes me wonder.......what went wrong to the human kind.
A lot of times black people apologize for racism to stay sane or make a living as a news pundit.

2005, Coleman was convicted of perjury and sentenced to 10 years' probation and a $7,500 fine. No enough he should have been put in prison!
Damn.
We already knew there was two justice systems!! ...smh
White people do stuff and get away with it. That's that color for the protection. Had he been black and it was just one white person he had lied on he would be doing life without the possibility of parole.
Texas justice. 🤦♂️
After destroying families, that's what he got
Coleman was found guilty of two counts of perjury and was sentenced to.... probation. What a joke this system is
Unsupervised
Im sure he will be hired in some small town again..recycled
Anyone else would be in prison
He got 7 yrs
Meanwhile 46 blacks have lost their rights to bear arms.
Lying from an officer should be 15 yrs minimum in prison
So sad
Oh and yes, the DA needs to be punished. There was no wires being worn, no photos or anything. The DA is to blame as well.
And the judge, and the jury and the rest of law enforcement that new his history and did not bring it into the case's against the innocent 46
Yes, he didn't prosecute these folks & he didn't sentence them either. I think there are some jurors that, with a proper look into their situations & actions, you'd likely find some criminal behavior there too. The whole thing reeks into heaven.
Disbarred!
In my country just one person’s word isnt enough to even charge anyone, there has to be corroborating evidence. It came to be when famous singer got blamed for smoking weed by some rando (he went on to write an awesome song about the unfruitful raid on his tourbus). Looks like you need something similar to shield you from your government, not just envious creeps. And better educated officers, 22 weeks is nothing and it shows.
The crayzee thing is people really think this only happened in Texas.
happened to me in Florida the only difference was i borrowed money for lawyer and got case dropped but still had to pay money to sheriff office to get my car back all together had to pay 6000 grand for something i really did not do . and i found out my lawyer was down with state i should of got a out of town lawyer and sued . my lawyer refused to sue them i paid 5000 grand 2500 for criminal and 2500 for civil . and 1000 to get my car back because they claim car was used in felony

That defunded money need to be used, to make these cities a decent place to live. Law enforcement comes into these neighborhoods, and take advantage of poor people.

It’s NOT all in our heads... POLICE Depts. nationwide need REFORMING from the ground up. MPD is beginning to rewrite their police union laws and what protections those officers might NOT be afforded in the future, especially when they go SO FAR outside the realm of normal police procedures.. and until this system of massive injustice toward the BLACK population especially is corrected, we are not gonna see ‘normal times’. Hoping we all work together to make our country work for all people. And if you so happen to be in authority, kindly follow the laws your job is designed to uphold, IF NOT, you don’t deserve my respect, cuz you can’t even follow the law of your job. And anyone serving on a police force for more than 5-years should have a clear idea of what their jobs duties are and are NOT.

They literally paid him to move the black people out of town
Pure Racist!
Outstanding officer of the year!! WTF!!
Can somebody explain that to me!!
Tom Coleman should go to jail for using racist slurs and shouldn't even took job in the first place and the cop who hired him should have no that he had been in trouble with the law
And in to a jail
This case is WILD
This is sick but sadly it's more common then u would believe the government been doing this to us since the beginning smh all that time for drugs
This is so sick! That terrible cop should be locked away for life.
Real Talk
God's willing now they will praise the Lord
Exacly !

Nobody but commies, rats and their tards want to defund police.
That is absolutely crazy! They convicted them on hear say! The cops, judge, and the prosecutor should all be charged with false imprisonment and put in prison.
This is extremely common on all levels of the system.
The sheriff, the DA , the judges and Coleman all should be in jail. This is a systemic problem.
It's as you say a systemic problem, that means you can't start randomly locking people up. Technically in the end this was funded by the US government, are you going to lock up the incompetent politicians and public servants at that level that allowed this to occur? What's needed is a review from the top down starting at the federal level. In Australia I would say a royal commission is required investigating the entire program, a quick internet search advises me you would call it a presidential commission. This happened to be a blatent obvious case, it's extremely likely this is not the only case involved in this program which I am guessing has had billions of dollars spent on it excluding the cost of incarceration since Nixon introduced the policy. I happen to be born a little after that time. So who will be celebrating the 50 year War on drugs that is when it's anniversary comes next year?
Systemic Racism Is Real
@@RM-xf9gi maybe it is and maybe it isn't. Please read my comment above. It certainly isn't a country wide problem in the US. The numbers provided indicate a rural town with a slight majority of white folks. Not one of the comments shown indicates any racial issues in that town. It seems it's a down to earth community. In this case there was no evidence of systemic racism but evidence that one individual is racist but also willing to lie to have white folks locked up as well. I would love to meet the "king pin" he was so relaxed. If it was me or someone from NY or something the comment might have more like, Are you F ' ing kidding me I see city folk on welfare with a better house and car than me. The jury had a black person on it and to claim that person supported this injustice is unfair. Most likely he or she was conned like the others. The guilty person is/was a remarkable speaker , a person who can lie and nobody can see any inkling that he is dishonest. In the absence of other evidence he seemed entirely believable in the interview, calm and collected and no signs of nervousness etc. Bernie Madoff was the same but got away with a lot more, this guy is a petty racist version of him I would suggest.
Why is he outta jail having a better life then the people lves he ruined
@TheSushiraw: His race? So all white people should be condemned for the color of their skins? Americans recently tore down a statue of a Norwegian who went to America and led the so-called Norwegian regiment in the fight against slavery. We abolished slavery here a thousand years ago. Racism is racism. Racists doesn't get to complain about racism when they're the victim of it.
That is because we allowing it, this kind of person needs to be run down in the street.
Jo-Erlend Schinstad a thousand years ago?
EXACTLY!
Exactly, they should take everything he has.
Sickness!
A stinking liar who should have Never been in law enforcement in the first place.
This Tom Colman should be in jail for 10 years each victim.
I thought this guy passed the host
No
Or even better for 700 years
My son is white and no evidence. I believe this and for the poor black boys, they have no chance.
@@susannapier9810 unbelievable this could be given the ok. Its insane. Seriously
"How do 46 drug dealers function in a community of 5,000 people?" I literally paused the vid and shouted EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Numbers don’t make sense
FACT
Same
Because that's how it works you'll be surprised
@@shsuususjssnjsus8239 No it doesn't.... my highschool had 4,000 kids in it. Promise you there were only about 5 MAIN dealers...
I think many people would be surprised to find out that our law enforcement is littered with dirt bags like this and it makes the rest of them look bad when they cover them in that blue line of silence which in essence makes them all bad. Smh
This is scary...
The sheriff, prosecutors, judges, and Tom should all go to prison
THIS IS AMERICA
In other words his proud to be a racist, how sick. He should be sentenced to the same amount of time.
He is what an undercover sheet wearer looks like. lol
I agree. They should all face charges of falsifying evidence and lying under oath.
Agreed
And he is still a free man, im not even suprised...sad really.
That sounds bout "WHITE".
Terry Timberlake exactly
@@Mickyel I'm white so I'm just probably never gonna truly know the extent of a lot of these issues/the impacts they have on ppl. That being said, it's disgusting and pathetic knowing how much racism/prejudice that currently is still very prevalent in society.
@@EricJh21690 it is very sad, and it seems it will never end unfortunately
Ppl like this guy are all throughout the US law enforcement
Many people are not content with having a quiet life and prefer to be in the limelight even if it means "lies". We must always be diligent against them but with some measure of pity, a sad and deflated ego.
He can't even look the interviewer in the eye
Yup, he's racist
And to that, I say it is because of his pettiness and his small sized individual he truly is. It is clearly perceptive that he is uncomfortable with someone who seems to have some curricular education, the interview host.
I swear🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And people think these are isolated incidents of racism. NO it’s systemic racism
what's goin' on in Tulia, Mississippi
So Said
This is exactly why a "jury of your peers" should not be an all white jury when the defendant is black.
I thought this guy passed the host
Exactly how can that be
@charles hedberg Watch this...
Delia Darling it’s sad America has made it so that skin color is associated to your peers
@Delia Darling Feel sorry for you.
Just sad
Sad and embarrassing
It's millions of Tom Coleman's out there
💯
Is say hundreds of thousands. A lot of the people that think like him are dead, or dying... thankfully.
“They’re selling drugs right now, guarantee it” ...who, the pharmaceutical industry?
Hey give him a break, he was talking about CVS.
My question is ...if he wasn't paying that one chick 190.00 for drugs cause she at the bank...where that money go
Liquor store too...
What happened happed to the drugs he got???
@@user-justbeingme Whoa! Good question! There was zero evidence to give all those folks them years, but at this point, if their was an Federal Investigation (after the election) law enforcement would be going to jail at the very least for fraud.
This dude crazy...
THIS IS SOOOOO UNREAL
How on earth without evidence, audio or video recordings or witness can the DA office even consider to charge someone. These people need all to be jailed for willful negligence.
Black.
This is why we say black lives matter
Because the system and racist districts attorney is all in on it. Prison is a business.
That little hick town wanted Federal drug fighting money, and the clout of the arrests
This is not willful negligence, THIS is systemic racism in action. Understand this is not an isolated incident.
This is one of the reasons why the people are protesting in the streets across America.
Big H exactly !
Thanks for understanding. It’s insane how many people can’t grasp the concept.
@@MileHighGrove Unfortunately many people who don't understand what is going on in the streets have a direct influence of what happens in the streets. This ain't the old west when in a perfect world the law is coming to help you.
This is sick
AND THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN CHARGE OF PUTTING OUT “STATISTICS” AND “NUMBERS” AND CALLING THEM “FACTS”
So Shouldn’t That officer “Tom Coleman” be arrested and giving 60 years? I think that would be true Justice!!!
He needs every year that was given out for his cause. And 4 people alone got 99 years. He deserves as many Life Terms for the lives he tried to destroy.
He is protected by the system, laws and his virginity.
*100 years or more
60yrs instead of 60min full of lies.
I use the "N" word frequently, but I'm not racist. Is he serious?
N Word ? Doesn't even exist .
Fortunately, there's enough of us who realize that actions speak louder than words.
@@krane15 you means actions like arresting and charging multiple innocent people with literally NO evidence? Those kinds of actions???
@@pakman0049 People can say anything but its what they do that counts. Who would openly admit to being a racist? In fact, most racist don't see themselves as bad. Rather, they feel they're justified in the things they do. Like the deluded cop in this video. Even to the end he still believes he's the town hero.
He’d probably tell you he also has black friends
Our justice system wow
