| Comments | Reverend Alan Bean is attuned to the situation in Tulia Tx. which gained international notoriety in the summer of 1999 when Swisher County sheriff's deputies swooped down on the town's small black community, arresting 43 people as cocaine dealers and sending many of them into the Texas prison system for years or decades. Forty of those arrested were black; the others had close links to the black community. Tulia's population is about 5,000, of which about 250 residents are black.
All of the arrests were the result of unverified undercover work by a sheriff's deputy with serious credibility problems, Tom Coleman. He was recently fired from another narc job in Dallas County, accused of sexually harassing one of his informants, then revealing her name to drug suspects after she refused to give him sex. NOTE: Show airs from midnite Fri to 1AM Saturday. | ||
