In some areas of the City where retarded “university” students congregate, jay walking can create a real traffic problem.
***************
The jay walking, bicycles and drivers have been targeted in this area. Most likely
this jay walker would have only gotten a warning had she stopped. But becoming
confrontational got her a ticket. Twenty four years old, sits down and begins
to bawl, what an adult.
Here’s Acevedo’s apology in full:
“Yesterday’s press conference related to the arrest of a jogger by members of the
Austin Police Department (APD) was the culmination of an emotional week for the APD,
our extended APD family and me personally.
During the press conference I attempted to place the arrest into context by bringing
attention to the fact that law enforcement deals with many acts of serious misconduct.
This includes recent instances in the news of sexual assault by police officers
in other cities.
In hindsight I believe the comparison was a poor analogy, and for this I apologize.
I stand committed to transparent leadership and will continue to engage the
community we serve in an open, honest, and timely manner.
Chief Art Acevedo”
