A Rio Grande Valley Civic Initiative
The machine does not stop on its own..
We document police brutality, judicial misconduct, and public corruption across the Rio Grande Valley — and we hand the files to people who can do something about it.
Manifesto
Voltaire was right. Power, unchecked, rots.
This page was created to end corruption in the Rio Grande Valley. For too long, families here have buried sons, watched fathers beaten, and lost cases to judges who answer to no one. Police officers patrol their own neighborhoods with impunity. Prosecutors decline to file. Bonds get posted. Lives go on — except for the families.
We will be filing complaints with the FBI's San Antonio field office, the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, the Texas Rangers, and the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct. Every approved testimony, every signature, and every documented case becomes part of that record.
“Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
