Mike Hanson Confronts BATF In Gonzales Texas October 1 2015 [fblcIAf8Ac4]

00:00 My concern is that y'all do not know, you have no idea about our people in our town. This is a small town of 6,000 people. You don't know anybody in our town! Our local police and sheriff are supposed to be taking care of these problems. I'm very happy- Big city crime moving into a small town when gangs wreaked havoc in Gonzales, local police teamed up with the feds to fight back News 4 San Antonio's Emily Bauckham reports tonight an undercover operation put violent gang members behind bars It's a story you'll see only on four 75 miles east of San Antonio gang members were discovered working the streets of Gonzalez and there are a lot of violent criminals running around. Local police contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives for help when we came up to it with a strategy

00:48 all together. This ATF special agent worked undercover to take down the games, they were having issues with these guys and there was a lot of data festival here in town. There were some shootings that happened during the festival middle of the day down here on Main Street Gonzales Police Chief Tim Crow is out of town for training but tells us this operation is a perfect the community. We're going to make sure that we have a safe and secure environment for our residents, and this is just perfect example of teamwork between law enforcement agencies. We came in. We sent a couple of agents down resident agent in charge Bart Mora says agents from the San Antonio office work with police across South Texas using their combined manpower and technology to fight crime when we send our agents out, we want to make sure we're doing with the worst of the worst in the community. And that what we do making arrest it impacts

01:35 Inside, they found meth and guns. During the course of the three-month operation 12 firearms were confiscated. A lot of them were stolen from here in the community. And six men arrested all classified gang members Texas syndicate mainly and then a local gang here called the Choppa Block Killas. The men are now in federal prison, their sentences ranging from about 5 to 10 years I guess they were staying out of the big cities to try to stay out of the limelight a little bit and didn't figure we would come here and chase him down here in Gonzales there are no federal investigations right now but the police chief says that relationship with the ATF has been established so criminals be warned reporting in Gonzalez Emily. I'm not happy

02:19 We're having to come and take it. And this is not a good time for y'all to be taking over our town. I'm not taking it over your town Yes you are, you said that at the... You said that you were taking our police department over at City Council and got it on tape. I have it on tape Well one of you're agents came into our town and they were going to start seizing people's property which ya'll have already done. Yes ya'll have, ya'll took somebody $4000 dollars over in St Peter Mike Either you or the DEA did Can I talk to him? He's in the middle No, ma'am. I am going to...I got Alex Jones that is gonna get this story You know what ma'am? My family goes all the way back in this town to Dave and Crockett.

03:21 Tell me what your concern is. My concern is that y'all do not know, you have no idea about our people in our town this a small town of 6,000 people okay you don't know anybody in our town Our local police and sheriff are supposed to be taking care of these problems I'm very happy to talk with you in a minute Do you mind going around the corner real quick so we can finish this up? No! I'm not doing anything y'all say This is my town And if you want to interview somebody, you can go over there. Y'all were in front of the police department before? That's what we're doing. Okay... But I'm wanting your concerns but they just... Well, I have documentation about the ATF at my office that I can show you too ma'am Yeah and they want to hear it! Just come right here and talk. Tell me what we don't know You said we don't know tell me what is. Okay, you do not our people in our town. Y'all are raiding our people on this town

04:13 then you don't know if they have drugs or not. Even if they do have drugs, I don't want you breaking people's doors down in my town. I don't want you breaking windows out in my town putting guns to heads of 11 year old children he can tell you about that this is not right and why are y'all coming into our town? Did the sheriff say you could come to our town? No well then he's going to be out next. He's Sheriff I tell you, I know Sock Laven. Can you lower your voice a little bit? And he is not supposed to be letting y'all come in here and do his job How come he's not doing his own job? The police are very capable of doing their jobs. Can I explain something to you? Yes What I need to explain... I have a YouTube channel It might help somebody understand Y'all come on my side all the time Come on Let me explain something

05:08 If a police chief invites us and they want to talk to us, and they say they need help in their town. That's what our job is- Why does he need help? Well I'm not going to reveal that to you. See but y'all this is the whole thing Y'all are secretive we have on our YouTube channel with black ski masks Y'all coming in here with black ski mask Okay that wasn't us What was it the DEA then It wasn't Who was it then? Y'all wear black ski mask too because I had you on film doing them No, but ATF does in Waco they wore black ski masks. I'm not going to talk about something that happened in 1989. Oh well I am because I am very familiar with it. I need you lower your voice a little bit. Okay. I'd be happy to talk to you if I don't want you to feel it. Alex Jones myself and about thousand other people read pills. Give me a favor can you lower your voice a little more?

05:52 Well, we can't hear you man. We can't hear you nobody's gonna be able to hear I'm not yelling this way. I talk all the time. Can i talk this way all the time? Okay I'm gonna let you talk because I want you tell us that You're not going to come in our town and wear a black ski mask See she's not gonna she's going to be secretive That's one thing I have problems about ATF y'all are secretive What we do is follow federal laws That's not good law. Well, we don't make the laws we enforce the laws that are in the bus. Kind of like black people you sit on the back of a bus law? Okay let's stick with what were talking about and what were talking about is if there is a law on the block and local police department asks us for help because they don't have resources to do it Are you ATF or special agent? I'm both

06:36 So you're just not ATF, you're a special agent? All agents in ATF are special agents. Now do you want me to answer the question because you keep kind of going off on these different types... I'm a nice person and your a nice person but i'm not saying that your bad what im saying is the concept of you coming here is bad Well let me explain it one more time ok We have federal jurisdiction If a police department calls us and says we need help or we don't have enough resources can you help us enforce the laws that are already on the books Absolutely. That's our job, that's our mandate to do that If you don't like the laws on the books then you have to take it up with people who make laws No I think we need to get rid of the police chief and the sheriff if they're asking for help and they can't do their job Oh thats between me and them Because here is my problem with it You know him all these agents dont know the people in this town Our local police knows everybody in town The Sheriff knows everybody in town And we work very closely with them

07:28 Okay, but y'all are gonna hurt end up hurting some of our people and they've already have. They already done it? You said they broke somebody's window out the other night? Yeah who right on top of a child was that y'all or did I don't know anything about that? Well we were told Swat team. They're from out of town too, that's why we are against out of town teams. I know but we don't want this happening because have you seen the footage what happened in Waco? Yes. Okay, we don't want to repeat that at all. And we worked very closely with y'all for 20 years not to have this happen again. I mean, you all were driving tanks over people's cars in the buildings when we were children? Here's the thing, Hank. I don't really think this is the forum to rehash Waco. Oh yes it is! History repeats itself. History does repeat itself. No, I'm saying right now that we're here doing another job. If you want to talk...

08:24 No, I just don't. Okay, let me ask you a question Are you from here? Have you read our Bill of Rights here? Your Bill of Rights? The Texas Bill of Rights. Why didn't you send those to me? It's online Can I get a card for a minute? I don't have one with me we're in the bill of something but on the PIO for ATF and Houston. Yeah, I'm easy to find. Okay are you willing to...I mean we're just YouTube which we get millions of hits so believe it or not sometimes it's good something like this you know something good you know if you're selling good information but alex has literally

09:01 millions and maybe even hundreds of millions. Would you be willing to go on the Alex Jones show and explain why this is happening in a small town? I'll talk to him on the phone, we'll discuss it. I'm not going to commit to something like that right now. Well i got his personal cell phone number We're right in the middle of something. But we can call you so let's just make it clear she's willing to uh be open about some things we're willing...I'm the spokesperson that's what I do give me a call or email me i'm happy to talk to you but right now I've got to go. We gotta get out of Houston and what is your name? Nicole Strong. Like a straw strong, strong you are strong okay thank you ma'am. If we don't know our people like we do, if you know all the people, they're going to come in here and screw up something i guarantee it's gonna happen somebody's gonna be killed because

09:49 We don't want them in here. I don't want the DEA or that ATF in here, I've had enough of them in my life. Did you read the story about the pharmacy stuff? No. I think y'all can handle it. Taylor can handle it! Well yeah he ended up helping a lot and then catching him out with another county. They didn't steal anything did they? Oh yeah they were going around murderizing pharmacies. Yeah oh yeah. They hit the pharmacy. Oh yeah we did too. They were cutting through their professionals I think that's what ATF was coming here for, because they were having a big play all over. Yeah, the VA has his big hand there. Wait, what did they take? Alcohol, tobacco, firearms or explosives? No, I think they ended up having firearms. They're just taking guns and firearms but that's enough to get the ATF's attention? There was something we could throw their ball into without the officers knowing. Did they cross any state lines with the stolen weapons? Oh, I'm sure they crossed the state line. Well let's just say they were cold.

10:45 I do not want to see this town being taken over by the ATF and the DEA. I want local police as way, and I'm going to bitch about it...I mean, I support y'all but I do not support the ATF and that other thing. Feds! I can't stand them. They have them in my town. I'm gonna bitch about it so don't arrest me. You know I just say you know I support y'all alrighty we're gonna go
