Bravo!
Cops in Houston KNEW their fellow cops, as well as the chief, were crooked and corrupt.
No thanks.
Art assevedo, uh, how about Noooooo!
Probably not a smart move, officers.
Harris Co is headed by a lib dingbat Judge and Houston’s Mayor is a bit of a wobbly democrat. (He is pretty good with potholes tho, I hear. Got a shovel???)
Acevedo was police chief in Austin before coming to Houston. During that time, he had acrimonious relations with the police union.
Let’s say you worked at McDonald’s and your boss, who treated you like crap, gets reassigned to another McDonald’s a longer drive away. If that boss came to you and said “Hey, I have some openings at my new place. Come work for me.”, would you go? I guess some would just to have a job but I don’t think the offer will be as warmly received as Artie thinks.
Houston is one of the three main progressive shitholes in Texas .... stay away from Austin and Dallas areas. Try smaller communities and sheriff departments.
There is one catch. The rank and file officers in Austin were not to impressed by Acevedo when he was chief there.
Acevedo sucks.
Wrong move. Anarchists may just accept the challenge.
Fort Worth, Texas had less BLM crap because they had a sales tax specifically for police funding up for a renewal vote. AKA, there was a ballot initiative BLM could fight that was tied directly to their cause. (And Fort Worth and Arlington police shut down looting fast.)
The Fort Worth area sales tax was maintained rather than rolled back.
In contrast, Dallas has leadership that lets them block highways and occasionally loot but gets mad when you hurt officers. Partially because five of the Dallas police were killed by BLM a couple of years ago.
Yeah, come on down if you want a chief that’s a camera whore, marched with the bunch during the Floyd fiasco, did gang signs, knelt, supported BLM......what a clown
Um, no! Not unless you know what you’re getting into!!!! Houston is different country!
Chief Asshole-veda defended the Harding Street raid until it became obvious that the Tuttles were murdered. The former Austin Police Chief is cut from the same cloth as such stalwart lawmen as Sheriff Scott Israel.
Iffen any FReepers have a link to his speech earlier this year - would do good to post it here.
