(TX) Austin police Chief shows his colors again
Twitter/Twitchy ^

Posted on 05/20/2013 11:18:27 PM PDT by tarawa

In other news, our wonderful Austin police chief has come out with his opinion that citizens who do not agree with him are 'lying extremists with undeveloped brains'. Art Acevedo, the political hack that he is, basically insults people who disagree with his opinion that universal background checks should be mandatory. I find it rather interesting that the sheriffs around the country, who are accountable to the citizens, are generally against new gun legislation that imposes greater hardship on said citizens, while the police chiefs, who are politicians only accountable to other politicians, seem to love the idea of greater regulation. Interesting also that the chief thinks there are not enough gun laws, but has come out in favor of not enforcing laws regarding illegal immigration.

Austin media tried to say he had apologized ( http://www.kvue.com/news/Austin-Police-Chief-apologizes-for-controversial-tweet—208224661.html ), but there was no apology there, just more of a rant from a bitter little man.

How about a lot of signs that sound liberal but aren’t, lol.

Nah, I meant I would get a twitter account and stuff just to pester the local liberals if I go there.

“How about a lot of signs that sound liberal but aren’t, lol.”

When Bill Clinton visited Hong Kong a friend hung a banner from the mast of his sail boat in the harbor that said

“Bill Clinton and Chairman Mao, two great socialist leaders”

The government let it stay for a couple of hours before sending a police launch to have him take it down

The following from a 2012 interview at http://www.kvue.com/news/Interview-with-Chief-Art-Acevedo-161827025.html

The California native says he sees himself retiring in Austin or somewhere else in Texas. But he isn’t done fulfilling his dreams.

And when someone walks into his office, he has a cure for nearly everything, even whining.

“You gotta have your personalized bottle. I go, come on, take a sip,” he says.

Gadzooks! 'Take a sip' California... native?

The Peoples Republic of Austin just cannot seem to ever... get it right!

Yep. I would like to trade the Austin liberals for the dissidents of Cuba or North Korea.

Jackboots like Art Acevedo, are the real reason Brits traditionally refused the police permission to carry arms.

Police chiefs are hired by liberal city councils and liberal mayors. That’s all you really need to know.

Someone needs to write to the paper with the question -

“What do the leftist gun-control people have in mind for us that requires us to be disarmed?”

I’m the one who tipped Twitchy off to Acevedo’s rants (WO4TG is the shortened version of my screen name). I saw one of my followers link to one of his rants and passed it on (also sent it to KLBJ). I hope Austinites will hold his feet to the fire.
