Two days after a Houston police sergeant was shot dead responding to a domestic violence call, the city police chief, Art Acevedo, has lacerated the majority leader Mitch McConnell and Texas’s two Republican US senators, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz for stalling the Violence Against Women Act.
“I don’t want to see their little smug faces about how much they care about law enforcement when I’m burying a sergeant because they don’t want to piss off the NRA,” Acevedo told reporters on Monday.
Sgt Christopher Brewster was killed in Houston on Saturday. At a briefing the same day, Acevedo paid tribute to Brewster, 32, who was shot repeatedly after responding to a call from a female victim who reported her boyfriend was assaulting her and was armed with two guns.

It’s not “pissing off the NRA”....It’s protecting the 2nd Amendment, you jerk so-called police chief...
“”””for stalling the Violence Against Women Act.””””””””””
So it’s legal to commit violence against women now?
This jerk-in-chief makes it sound like the NRA is a worse threat than MS-13 or the drug cartels
Chk his last name. Ingrained in the culture.
One of the basic intentions of those who designed and wrote the Constitution was to protect future generations of Americans from people like the chief.
This is the police chief who specializes in shooting law-abiding private citizens in their own homes.
He’s a socialist lib.
Sounds like the Police should be prohibited from possessing firearms.
Maybe that logic is just too much for some people to handle.
A police chief who doesn’t want to piss off his political handlers.
Houston police chief smug arrogant politician pretending to be a cop. They need to be fired an replaced with a honest cop who understand the rule of law.
Is Houston still part of Texas?!
Hey Chief, the NRA is tiddlywinks, less than 5 million members. 48 million households in America own guns. Not to mention the 2nd Amendment says back off.
You are pissing off the free citizens of the USA, not an organization. Nice try, no bullets.
Is this the same guy that was Austin’s police chief a few years ago?
And that has to do with law abiding gun owners exactly how you piece of shit? Damn these gestapo types.
we don’t need more laws cementing in a special privileged caste based on genitalia.
Artie came over from Austin.
‘nuff said.
