Well, aren’t police supposed to be trained to always assume that a firearm may be present whenever they approach a domestic situation? And also, how about spending scarce tax dollars on improving domestic intervention initiatives and other things to address such situations regardless of the weapon(s) being used as opposed to intrusive and ineffective gun control?

“...Violence Against Women Act...”

What that got to do with the PO’s murder?

I didn’t see anything in that record about his NRA membership status.

So in a span of 27 months, the miscreant managed to rack up almost 12 full months of prison time.

Acevedo is as statist and fascist a cop as they come.

A bad seed from California law enforcement who made his bad reputation worse as PD chief in Austin before moving on up to do the same in Houston. He leaves behind a sordid trail of police scandals and bad shoots, including the latest fiasco in Houston. He creates a bad culture within PDs wherever he turns up.

Wish there were a way to block articles on the FR feed. This would be one of them.

Misplaced big mouth/small brain rage; this has nothing to do with the NRA.

You camera whore........you grandstander, shut your ignorant pie hole. I’m upset that the officer lost his life but when women get guns and blow the pieces of crap to kingdom come then maybe a change will come! Old Sylvester crapped in his mess kit when he appointed you as chief!!

Hey, Art, put it where the sun don’t shine. Your officers would be safer if you and your Houston political colleagues supporter Constitutional Carry in Texas. An armed society is a safer and more polite society.

Dear Chief:

I’M the NRA.

Along with several million of my Armed American brothers and sisters.

Don’t like it? Too bad. Suck on it. Move to Cuba.

48 million households in America own guns.

I think that number is low. Way low.
