This is coming from the police chief, with leadership like this the cops are doomed !
Houston police chief Art Acevedo pushed gun control after one of his officers got into a physical struggle with a criminal and was shot with his own gun. The Associated Press reports the 29-year-old officer, a five-year veteran of the force, was shot in the abdomen “just below the vest.” The officer was shot after chasing a suspect into a backyard, where “a struggle ensued” that ended with the suspect taking the officer’s gun and shooting him with it.
Another officer then entered the backyard and killed the suspect.
Chief Acevedo responded to the incident by denouncing those who will offer sympathy for the officer while refusing to support gun control.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
He used to be the chief in Austin. 1. He comes from California. Austin had to import more Cali politics 2. I believe he is Cuban. They said his dad was an illegal. AA is all for illegal immigrants .

It seems the higher you go up in the workings of the cities the dumber the offical's get, this man is clearly a twit that isn't smart enough to organize a carnival, not alone run the day to day operations of a police department made up of thousands of officers city wide.
Knowing he wouldn’t be supported in the case of having to use deadly force, he may well have exercised “too much caution”. Cops are petrified of having to use a weapon and getting hung out to dry by political morons.
