Austin police chief Art Acevedo to run Houston's police department

Wow. That’s awful. Unforgivably selfish and breathtakingly dangerous. We have similar problems here on some roads in the city. I cannot believe the lack of self preservation shown by quite a few of the bicycle riders. No one can see around hair pin turns. I have known 2 people who have had serious head and neck injuries from exactly that situation. I used to joke that the spandex was cutting off circulation to their brains and preventing them from showing good judgement.

And if you criticize one of them, they are likely to break into a yelling, cussing fit. Seems to me like being an elitist isn’t all that satisfying. It certainly isn’t the zen-like image they’d like to think they portray.

Austin is extremely liberal. Acevedo is extremely liberal. You’d think it would be a match, right? Then why has Acevedo been trying to leave Austin for months now? He almost accepted a job in San Antonio late last year, but our extremely liberal mayor felt comfortable offering him more of our tax dollars to stay. There was a collective groan over it. Even his own police officers don’t like him. Nobody with any sense wanted him to stay. I hate to pawn him off on some other unsuspecting city, but I’d wish for whatever it takes to get rid of him.
He wants our guns, even encouraged neighbors to turn each other in so he can “investigate” gun issues. Soviet Russia came to mind when he first issued that statement.
He also went to Washington to hobnob with Obama concerning their mutual love of illegal immigration/invasion. He would have loved a spot in that administration if only his fawning adoration could have earned him one. It is an open secret that he has his eye on federal politics. Meanwhile, he was pretending to represent Austin’s viewpoint on immigration. Bah. He wasn’t representing me and the whole charade made me mad. I wish I could have gone there and kicked his sorry rear end all the way back home. Or better yet, revoked his return ticket and told him to just stay there. I resented every city tax dollar it took to transport his butt there and back again.
Yes, he’s liberal. And corrupt.

Thanks for the explanation...crystal clear.
I hope you give him the ole heave-ho!
