Mike Hanson Confronts Masked Police in Gonzales Texas
Mike Hanson reports a midnight encounter on his Cabot Street property with an unidentified individual wearing a black ski mask and a badge. Hanson, a veteran and relative of Davy Crockett, claims the local sheriff's department denied knowledge of the masked individuals operating in the area. The incident, which Hanson recorded for his archives, involved a confrontation over property rights and an attempt by the masked figure to find grounds for an arrest.

00:00 I'll keep it short. Good, good. And you understand nobody can suggest anything? Absolutely not. I'm here for agreements Sometimes we get involved in small town politics It could be exciting It could be degrading as you know and sometimes it can be downright dangerous As I found out and I am here for agreements This is what you call public information They have a act of Congress said that we could find out the government cannot keep any secrets from the people. So they do have on there supposedly at each government entity, and this is one from the city. And throughout history, we know that people that cover their face up with a mask or hood, they're up to no good in my book and history's proven me out of that. I put this in on June 4th.
01:07 About what I'm fixing to tell you all. They got 10 days to answer this request about who is running around on June 3rd, I was delivering some notices at midnight on my own property on Cabot Street And I lost my cell phone, the girl that works for me went to the door and I was fooling around in my truck. And I found a cell phone so I turned around and guess what? I was accosted by a person in a black ski mask of goody, hanging goody. He says he wants to know what I'm doing here.
01:54 I said, well, I'm here to deliver a notice. This is my property and what are you doing on my property? And he said that well first of all, I looked at him thank God we have badge way down here around his neck. You couldn't see anything with his eyes all in black and I said, I am very offended by you wearing a black ski mask. I'm very offended by that. I'm a veteran, my grandpa fought in World War II. We didn't wear masks. My family goes all the way back from five generations back on my grandma's side. David Crockett is relative of mine and he was my grandpa way back. He didn't wear a mask. I don't know what's going on. They would not identify theirself with agency they're with
02:53 The sheriff's department was called, the sheriff's department said they didn't know anything about these people being in town. The deputy called me back today after and said we don't know anything about it Mike. They would not identify themselves who these people were They started, after I told him that I didn't like the ski mask he tried to start finding things to arrest me like your park prom and your own driveway. You have open container which we didn't have an open container it was a beer that the girl was going to take back to the motel but it wasn't opened so I got out of there quickly and went and got a friend of mine with the camera, he got it all on tape if you want to look at it.
