Actually, that headline is slightly inaccurate: It was two criminals out on bond shooting a cop.
A massive manhunt is underway for two suspects in relation to a shooting of a Harris County sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop Wednesday night. Both men were free on bond for other charges and had a history of not complying with the conditions of their release.
According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the deputy went on patrol at about 7:40 p.m., but within minutes emergency dispatch received calls about an officer down on Homestead Road just inside Houston’s Beltway 8 and the Eastex Freeway.
Law enforcement agencies have issued a Blue Alert for Terran Green, 34, and James Green, 37. Although Gonzalez announced the suspects’ vehicle had been found overnight, the two men remain at large.
Harris County records indicated that Terran’s criminal history dates to at least 2007 and includes five felony convictions and three separate stints in state prison. In May 2022, he was sentenced to two years for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
Democrats love to talk about “gun crime,” but deep blue Democratic Party prosecutors seem loath to actually prosecute the criminals who commit crimes with guns.
Terran was charged in March 2023 with Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Aggravated Assault of a Family Member, for which the Harris County District Attorney’s Office requested no bond, but Judge DaSean Jones of the 180th District Criminal Court approved bonds of $55,000. Terran was released on April 1, but after failure to appear in court his bonds were forfeited. He has been a wanted fugitive since May 30.
James also has a criminal history, dating back to 2011. He was given personal recognizance (PR) bonds requiring no payment for Carrying a Handgun in a Motor Vehicle in 2020 and 2022 and possession of one to four grams of cocaine on June 7, 2022. He was rearrested on August 7 after bond forfeiture but released on a $5,000 surety bond just last Saturday.
A self-proclaimed socialist, Jones has often drawn media attention for awarding bond release to violent, repeat offenders. In 2021 he reduced bond for a suspect facing felony charges of human trafficking, assault, sexual assault of a child, and compelling prostitution of a child.
Sexual predators of children seem very near and dear to the hearts of the Democratic Party’s cadres of social justice activists.
Harris County began shifting release policies in 2019, when local judges adopted new bail guidelines and a federal judge approved a consent decree in the ODonnell v. Harris County lawsuit over misdemeanor bail. The decree has formally governed misdemeanor bail policy and mandated county spending on pretrial services for defendants, but a ruling from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in a similar lawsuit against Dallas County earlier this year overturned ODonnell, leaving the future of the consent decree uncertain.
Crime Stoppers of Houston’s Andy Kahan has tracked the number of persons murdered in Harris County by suspects out on multiple bonds and PR bonds since 2018, noting there have been at least 197 such victims.
197 people dead thanks to Social Justice.
Last I checked, the Harris County deputy shot was still alive following surgery and their name hadn’t been released.
Expect criminals to keep shooting cops and citizens as long as Democrats maintain the social justice revolving door for repeat offenders.
Update: Deputy’s name is Joseph Anderson and alleged shooter Terran Green is in custody after a police standoff in Humble.
James Green was questioned and released without being charged.

“Expect criminals to keep shooting cops and citizens as long as Democrats maintain the social justice revolving door for repeat offenders.”
But wait! If repeat offenders were not out on bond shooting cops and citizens what would be the justification for gun control?!
They have an agenda, and they’re working a plan. Nothing else explains any of it; the level of dysfunction they’ve enabled would tell any rational well-meaning actor that what they’re doing isn’t working, and something else must be tried.
That they aren’t doing that “something else”? Telling.
Don’t Republicans have a majority in the Texas Legislature? Why don’t they change the law?
This went large this morning (8-18). HCSO swat essentially destroyed a house in Humble, live on ABC. Literally. They took a camera crew along with them. Another deputy and a dep US Marshall shot.
“…but Judge DaSean Jones of the 180th District Criminal Court approved bonds of $55,000.…”
Democrat Judge DaSean Jones was re-elected last year. Day after election day his Republican challenger had 1200 more votes, but after 10 days of counting mail-in and provisional ballots, Jones won by 400+. Another election miracle.
The harris county sheriff deputies association has called for him to resign for releasing Terran on that bond.
