FROM THE GREAT BEYOND: WAS THE LATE SHERIFF LUCIO RIGHT?

Special to El Rrun-Rrun
Since former Cameron County District Clerk Eric Garza took over the Sheriff's Department four years ago, the ominous warning of the late Sheriff Omar Lucio has come true.

Right from the start, the Garza administration's heavy-handed personnel policies generated numerous lawsuits from department staff, from the commissioners court and its legal representatives, an exodus from the department of veteran officers and correction guards, and the loss of some $3 million when the federal government cut off funds generated by the housing of its prisoners.

One of our eight readers sent us this video that reminded us of Lucio's warning that having an unexperienced individual at the head of the department with more than 500 employees, some of them under Civil Service,  was a recipe for disaster. Once again, Garza is in a runoff for the position, this time with Manuel "Manny" Treviño, a veteran law enforcement officer with more than 30 years experience in law enforcement.

Will county voters choose the right candidate for sheriff this time?

It's been a rough road for Eric with the County Commission fighting him every step of the way. Im not sure how others would handle that situation.

Mammy Trevino is a Mama's boy! Plus, he's too old. He's called "Mammy," 'cause he wants to be a mother, not a sheriff.


fact.

Eric is a paper pusher not a law enforcement officer.

Omar Lucio was a clown. He claimed to be a Democrat but supported the Republican against democrat Eric Garza in the last election. But Omar died at age 84, still thinking he'd been a good sheriff.

delusional old fart.

Experience is always invaluable when choosing a candidate. As well as the individual’s qualifications for the desired position. 2 things that Eric Garza never had. Hence, his catastrophic failure as sheriff of Cameron County. And yet he lives to fight another day !! Unbelievable!?!?!? But then again, that’s politics for you.

People in the valley and especially Brownsville are very stupid voters so Garza might get it again unfortunately.. people love to eat shit ..

This election will be decided by the Employees of Eric Garza.

It is going to be their choice. The rest of us, we just go and vote for one or the other candidate.

So if Garza convinces his employees to vote for him....he will win the election.

Eric knows he is fucked. He can push the presentations all he wants. Deceiving the people by posting photos of the new hires with new units, com'on bro, those rookies are driving crown vics with no radio. Have some fucking decency. Just by the fact that he got 6k votes against 12k against him tells you something..

Was never a big fan of Lucio, but the man did show some balls/ fortitude when he publicly announced his support for the Republican candidate. He definitely did not hide his decision for doing so. Sometimes you have to chose between the lesser of two evils. He must of had that so-called gut feeling about Sheriff Fife and he was right. ERIC GARZA WAS THE WRONG CANDIDATE!! Period!! And he has proven that hands down.

Omar Lucio supported the qualified candidate regardless of party affiliation. Only a plantation negroe who votes straight Democratic would hold that against him.

Todos estamos con Manny!!
Manny is the best option for this cameron county public office !!!
Me and my family will vote for Manny Treviño ✅👍🗳️

When Sheriff Lucio lost it was because of the d..i..c..k head of Javier Reyna. That bitch is trying to get back into the Sheriff's Department at no cost. I hope Mr. Trevino doesn't bring his stupid ass back. Javier Reynas ex-wife left his ass because he thinks he is a big shit. I hear she is very happy with the cook who treats her with respect. Good for her.
I am voting for Manuel Trevino because Eric Garza is just like Javier Reyna and that's a FACT. Have worked here as a Deputy for 10 years.

Over 63% of Cameron County voters cast a ballot for someone other than Eric Garza during the primary. He's one and done after the runoff.

Eric please have so fucken sense bro. Leave the presentations alone, we are tired of your bs. Having the rookies taking pictures with the new units.. everyone now knows the type of garbage you are

The Run off will be fair and the best man will win. Who ever it is, let it be and support the C.C. Sheriff. We need to rid of the County Judge and the board that supports him. He needs out, vote Judge TreviNo out. He keeps the tax money for him and his increase pay raises and does not care for the jailors. The Jailors for carrizalez are working on fumes. pay raise for all County jailors that way they will happily stay at their post.

Lets do a little common sense map scenario.

Sucio Lucio lost because of him taking care of the Reynas and the Reynas mistreating most of the deputies and jailors.
They had no remorse for how they treated the employees and laughed about how scared some of the workers were of them. They joked about how they reprimanded people. The only ones they somewhat treated well were the brownnosers that sucked up to them. BUT they still laughed at them for being suck ups (mamones as they called them).
Javier Reyna worked security at the convention center with former deputy Ortiz. Javier was always afraid to go into the men's restroom because he was scared of all the drug users. BUT then wants to be tough on deputies and jailors that depend on their jobs to support their families. TRASH.

Rosas did not win because he was bringing Javier Reyna with him as Chief.
NOW.... Rosas made deal with Mr. Manny Trevino who wants to win at all cost. So now Rosas will get a good spot for himself for endorsing Manny, and most definitely JAVIER REYNA is part of the deal. Javier wants back into the sheriff office so bad that he will do anything to come back and take his office back. Mr. Manny TreviNo is his way back.
All deputies and jailors are worried about Javier Reyna returning, it will be something to see high pants Javier Reyna getting rid of all the current Admin, with a smile on his face.
Mr. Manny Trevino better be careful, JAvier will bully him from his own office. Bad move on his behave getting javier Reyna and his inside circle to support him. He had a better chance by him self.
It is simple math, no one wants the Reynas (inside circle Almanza etc) back on power trips.
