In blistering remarks to reporters outside the medical examiner’s office, Acevedo slammed Republican leaders for failing for months to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, specifically calling out Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn of Texas for not supporting a provision that would prohibit dating partners convicted of domestic violence from possessing firearms — like Solis.
Acevedo accused McConnell, Cruz and Cornyn of being too afraid to support the provision because of retribution from the National Rifle Association.
“We all know in law enforcement that one of the biggest reasons that the Senate and Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn and Ted Cruz are not … getting the Violence Against Women Act [reauthorized] is because the NRA doesn’t like the fact that we want to take firearms out of the hands of boyfriends who abuse their girlfriends,” Acevedo said Monday.
The Chief really publicly showed his intelligence, or lack thereof, didn’t he?
If he is that dang scared of guns I doubt he has the balls to knock on a door to come take any. The big cities have all degraded into social utopian cespools. Even the ones in Texas. If you live in a big city get out now! The cities is where all the shit will go down. I plan to sit at home and watch it all on the news and laugh as they can’t figure out the problems.
Chief Acevedo is a communist democrat shill. He targeted all republicans with robo calls asking for money for the violence against women democrat organization. He doesn’t have the law enforcement experience or qualifications of a GS-5. He makes his cops buy their own guns, ammo, and body armor. And actively denies his cops advanced firearms and tactics training. He and his lap dog at the police union are an embarrassment to all professional law enforcement in Houston
Thanks for the details. Sounds like you have some good information, i take it you are from the Houston area?
