Enough insurance payouts to Austinites under Art Acevedo’s rule of thuggery might get him replaced.
In Acevedo’s mind - we dredged him from LAPD - everybody’s a criminal.
He’s narcissistic, and probably a paranoid schizophrenic... which attracts officers who relish and thrive on the beat down.
His officers harass UT players like they’re mafioso, but going after this innocent lily white rich girl is probably going to bring him down.
Then he’ll be off to some other town to generate revenue.

So this Chief Acevedo is an LAPD reject?
It all becomes clear now.
I heard about this on the KLBJ talk shows yesterday. I figured there would be a thread on FR. Art Acevedo’s PD is one of the worst ever. I'm glad I seldom have to go into Austin city limits anymore. I never got stopped by the PD there, but saw they parked an empty cruiser on the Loop 1 center medium about 1/2 mile from the 183 flyover ramp during rush hour traffic. Talk about screwing up homebound traffic...
Now Capital Metro has that Rapid Bus system and ads talking about free WiFi on the busses. The ad ends with people laughing at the cars stuck in traffic. Well DUH!! Cap Metro took a lane in each direction to make strictly bus lanes and the fines for driving in them is $500 for the first offense. That and the bike lanes . . . don't get me started on that. The fat @$$ cops should be looking to arrest all the bikers that ignore traffic laws.
