Reminds me of the story where four cops were holding a man on the ground and then this female cop runs up and shoots the guy on the ground in the head killing him.
Big cities are run by corrupt Democrat scum. Run away.
Hate much?
What a misleading headline. One’s first impression is that cops unloaded on him with regular handguns 21 times.
In fact, they were “shooting” him with tasers and bean-bags! Next up for Houston PD - Nerf Guns!
When Harris County deputies are ‘fired’ the go to HPD.
This happened in Dallas.
More than once it’s happened.
Face it, Police should be retrained and held accountable.
They are trained that anyone within 20 feet (whether they hold a weapon or not) is a danger to their lives, because the person can close the distance in just a second or two...
They need to quit accepting cowards and bullies and stop training shoot first.
FACTS.
That does not mean there are MANY, MOST cops who are great. It means the system has failed us in hiring and training.
Baddest man in the whole damn town.
If they’d found him in a lake wrapped in chains they would have said he was trying to steal more chains than he could swim with.
What the heck does”objectionably reasonable” Mean ? Either say it was ok or not. Please !
But wait! The perp wasn’t black. Was this just target practice? < /sarc >
Sounds strange
Kept that lie going as long as he could.
Acevedo is a pandering sleeze. I remember his boneheaded comments after the Pecan Park raid where two innocent civilians were killed.
Has that “investigation” been finished yet?
So the police should have waited for the Social worker to appear with the bouquet of flowers?
Seems like this would have been a good time for an application of a Bolo Wrap gun.

“Acevedo detailed that before the 21 shots in question,”
The only question is; was it a good shoot or not? Once the shooting starts, all bets are off. They can’t have a discussion about who is going to shoot, or how many rounds they should shoot. Every officer is going to shoot until they perceive the threat to be over. Four officers, about 16 rounds per gun, that’s just the way it is.
Stun guns and beanbags do not qualify as “shooting” him. A deliberately misleading headline. Trying to get the savages into an uproar.
The Houston mayor and police chief are corrupt as they come. So is the Harris County leadership.
Looks like that stopped him from harming himself.
Hold the police union liable for violating systemic sixth amendment rights.
