Acevedo comes from Southern California. I believe he was a deputy chief with the CHP. It's politicians like him that made me leave SoCal.
Austin's a great city. Too bad there are too many people of his ideology there.
In my experience, his attitude is typical of police officers in CA.

What is your experience with police officers in CA? He was an administrator for the highway patrol. The CHP patrols the freeways and highways and does mostly traffic related enforcement, speed, dui, ect. He was not a city street cop and his anti 2nd amendment beliefs do not reflect any of my former partners in CA. I don't want to throw all the CHP into his mix as I worked many county areas with the CHP and they were great officers that also were not anti 2nd amendment.
People in Austin need to wake up. Acevedo gets blamed for everything. Austin wants to have a small city "keep it weird" mentality. Austin is a big city and in big cities stuff happens. I l love driving through east Austin and seeing car loads of bangers flying their colors. I would like to see APD find a reason to stop them and take control. But then when they do, the public on blogs and media go ballistic because they can't handle the fact that is good solid police work and how you keep crime down. If they keep allowing the gangs and cartels to run a muck it will only get worse.
I knew several off duty. Had a friend who went through a town's police academy and come out the other side a complete prick. One East Palo Alto officer "joked" that he hoped he could see someone open carry out there so he could murder them and get a two week vacation.
More than just "a few".
I've had the strange (for a person as introverted as I am) experience to associate closely with people from all walks of life. Bums to millionaires. Drug dealers and killers to lawyers and judges. And yes, a whole lot of cops.
The cops in CA have a scary "us v them" mentality. It very badly needs to not spread to Texas.
We all have our own perspectives. My experience with LEO's in SoCal is vastly different than yours. Several of them were CCW proponents and hung out in the local gun shops shooting the breeze on, and off duty.
That's a damn shame. We need more people to speak out.My concern is that the rest of APD cannot go on and post their views, along with their rank at APD.. that would violate policy. Unfortunately the big wigs can speak what they want. There are many good APD officers that are very pro 2nd amendment.
