With the federal charges, Police Chief Acevedo has completely spun around 180 degrees.

Up through today, he has been saying the police were in the right, and the Tuttles were in the wrong.

Now, he has completely turned around on the Tuttles. I expect he has talked to department lawyers about penalties for deprivation of rights under color of law.

The family has filed lawsuits.

This was all being swept under the rug by the HPD. The local forensics investigation seems to have been a joke.

It was the Harris County Prosecutor that first brought charges, now the independent investigation by the FBI and a federal grand jury.

Acevedo is trying to claim that it was his department that uncovered things, all along...

He can claim a little credit, but the Prosecutor and the FBI had to fight the locals for a good bit, as I recall.

Has Acevedo actually said anything new? From the article:

[Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo will hold a press conference at noon to address the new charges against the former officers and the botched raid. ]

Acevedo needs to go back to Austin.

I am surprised Kim Ogg is bringing charges.

Meanwhile Acevedo is in the CYA mode.
I am no longer a Houston resident.

From what I read, he fought it tooth and toenail. To the bitter end. Now they claim credit.
