Pathetic Acevedo Cites Gun Control at Dead Officers Expense

[Wiliamr]

Oh come one now that would be easy to create. Let's see, you are convicted of murdering someone - you get the death penalty - that will stop you from ever breaking the law again just because you are dead. I should be in politics.

I had bounced law language off Ted Cruz's office once when Robert Francis O'Rourke was running against him .. Something along the lines of "The Common Sense Gun Violence Prevention Act" If you are convicted in any competent court in any state: using a firearm in any crime, or being in possession of a firearm in commission of a crime, Federal Statue requires the death penalty.

As I put it to the Cruz staff, I realize it would never fly, but since at the time Democrats and O'Rourke and the Demos were screaming for "Common sense" gun violence laws.... submit that bill in the Senate and when the Demos scream!! Start the ball rolling to expose their anti gun stance, not anti violence... Never would happen, but great theater none the less

I like it.
OR, he could just arrest all the career criminals, instead of allowing them to roam free, steal guns, shoot officers, etc.

He should start with the career criminals in his own department first.

You would think that Acevedo would spend his time looking out for his officers, but he is and always has been a Democratic Party (socialist) tool. It's not surprising that he uses tragedy to try to advance his political career.

According to Houston tv news channel he was shot with a handgun.... BUT we all know news reporters do not always get the facts right

I also heard them saying that he was shot with armor-piercing ammo. Because that's going to work so well in a handgun.

This butt-pirate needs to be in prison for abetting the murderers in his own department. If he's really for gun control, then the police need to set a good example and give up their guns first.

I'll beat 10 dollars and a donut the officer was wearing a low budget ballistic vest against mainstream ammo. HPD is 'claiming' it may be armor piercing rounds.

I wouldn't believe anything Art Asshat says.

If Acevedo can’t control his emotions, it’s time for him to get out of the business.

I was thinking that he might have been shot through the side, or somewhere not protected by the vest, and at an angle.

On the good side, he DID leave us in San Antonio and went to Houston. Todo pendejo.

Don't give them any ideas.
They're already floating that in Germany. "In zee future, one shall need a special permit to drive anyfing but a self-driving car." Yes I know, I already have one. Two, actually. It's called a driver's licence. Or a Fuehrerschein, if you wish, LOL.

I'm not going to lose that bet.

Basically appointed by the mayor. Which makes me wonder why Buzbee isn't capitalizing on his idiocy.

I should have taken it. HPD is saying that the vest performed as expected, and stopped one shot that hit it at the edge. The fatal shot was just below the vest.

https://www.khou.com/article/news/l...says/285-7cf64a6a-009c-4332-b4ea-5cedf7dbbbea

"Sgt. Brewster's vest had a strike at the edge which did not actually penetrate the vest. Moreover, it was determined that other damage to the vest was not a penetration and at least one round was a strike below the vest (between the belt and the bottom of the vest.) Again, the vest performed as expected and there was no vest failure," the department's release said in part.

And I just found out that he lived a few houses down from me. I'd never met him, and it sounds like that's my loss.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

So, shot somewhere not protected by the vest....

 

[easy rider]

A liberal basing assumption as fact? Where have I heard that before?

 

[Bozz10mm]

I'll bet the shooter had previously been convicted of domestic violence which would have already made him a prohibited person under the Lautenberg Amendment.
