Dear Friend,
My name is Camille, and in April of 2026, I’m supposed to marry the love of my
life, Officer James Brennand.
But right now… I’m terrified that instead of standing with me at the altar,
James could be sitting in a prison cell.
In just two months, he goes to trial for charges that should never have been
filed. He’s a decorated Army veteran and dedicated San Antonio police officer.
His only “crime” was doing his job—protecting the people he swore an oath to
serve.
James has spent his life serving others, but now he’s the one who needs help.
The prosecutor in this case doesn’t care about the truth. He’s bowing to
politics and the anti-police mob. And if he wins, James will lose everything —
his freedom, his career, and our future together.
I’m asking you — from the bottom of my heart — to please help us fight back.
The National Center for Police Defense is covering James’s legal defense and
making sure his side of the story is heard in court. But trials are expensive,
and October is coming fast.
We can’t do this alone.
Please, will you chip in today to help save James’s freedom and our future
together?

On October 1st, 2022, James was on patrol when he spotted a maroon BMW late at
night in San Antonio. He turned on his emergency lights, but the driver sped
off, dangerously cutting off another vehicle before racing onto the highway.
Per department policy, James didn’t pursue, but he ran the plates and found
they didn’t match the car. He believed it was stolen and that’s why the driver
fled.
The very next night, James was called to a disturbance outside a McDonald’s.
That’s when he saw it again—the same BMW from the night before. Knowing it
could take off again, he called for backup but approached before other officers
could arrive.
He opened the door and ordered the driver, later identified as Erik Cantu
Jr., to step out. Instead, Cantu threw the car in reverse,slamming the door
into James and dragging him backwards.
In that split-second, James made the decision he was trained to make when his
life was in danger. He fired his weapon. The passenger was unharmed, and Cantu
survived.
Since then, Cantu has been arrested four times. Charges like assaulting an
officer and evading detention have been dropped.
And now, he’s suing James and the city — while James is the one facing charges
of aggravated assault by a public servant and deadly conduct. If convicted, he
could face five years to life in prison.
This is the man I love. And now an anti-police District Attorney is trying to
destroy him to score political points.
We are fighting with everything we have to clear James’s name, but this legal
battle is crushingly expensive — and the trial is just weeks away. The National
Center for Police Defense has been our lifeline, covering his legal defense,
but they can’t do it alone.
I’m asking you, from the bottom of my heart, to please help us. Every single
dollar you give will go directly toward saving James’s freedom and our future
together.

This fight is personal for me. I want to marry the man I love, not visit him
behind bars.
Thank you for standing with us,
Camille
Fiancée of Officer James Brennand
