iacknowledge – by Jameson Austin’s chief of police has had a bad week. First, a few of his cops were videotaped roughly arresting a woman for the crime of jaywalking. Then, in defense of his officers, he said that at least they aren’t raping people.
It started when police observed a jogger crossing a street against the light. When they stopped her, she apparently “failed to present ID properly.” Now, at this point the cops had two choices. Let it slide or brutally drag a screaming young woman to a police car and place her under arrest. They chose the latter.
Chris Quintero was sitting across the street at the time and decided to start to recording the incident when it was clear that it was spiraling out of control.
“I was sitting at the Starbucks at 24th and San Antonio,” Quintero said. “Then I hear a cop shout at an innocent girl jogging through West Campus with her headphones on.”
When she didn’t stop (she later told them she couldn’t hear their commands because she was listening to music), they grabbed her by the arm and threw on handcuffs.
“She repeatedly pleaded with them, saying that she was just exercising and to let her go,” Quintero said. [source]
The video of the incident was captured by Quintero, a University of Texas at Austin student, quickly went viral online, forcing Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo to respond at a press conference.
“This person absolutely took something that was as simple as ‘Austin Police – Stop!’ and decided to do everything you see on that video,” he said on Friday, according to 90.5 KUT. “And quite frankly she wasn’t charged with resisting. She’s lucky I wasn’t the arresting officer, because I wouldn’t have been as generous. … In other cities there’s cops who are actually committing sexual assaults on duty, so I thank God that this is what passes for a controversy in Austin, Texas,” Acevedo added.
The “it could be worse, we could be raping you” argument didn’t fly. Instead of making people less upset, it enraged people further over the lack of seriousness the police department was responding to charges of police aggression. Not to mention, Acevedo was suggesting that the public demand that police act in a professional and reasonable manner was tantamount to “overreacting.”
The day after the disastrous press conference, Acevedo made an apology for his language.
“During the press conference I attempted to place the arrest into context by bringing attention to the fact that law enforcement deals with many acts of serious misconduct,” Acevedo wrote. “This includes recent instances in the news of sexual assault by police officers in other cities. In hindsight I believe the comparison was a poor analogy, and for this I apologize. I stand committed to transparent leadership and will continue to engage the community we serve in an open, honest, and timely manner.”
What he hasn’t apologized for is how his officers mishandled the situation in the first place. No one but the police chief was comparing it to sexual assault, but the officers were still out of line.
This police chief should have been immediately placed on leave without pay and put under review.
What gives the cops to say things like that and not be held accountable. This sort of BS goes on all over the country – even in small towns.
Heck, there was a police chief that was involved in a roll over accident here in central Wi. last week , he left the seen and thought he was sober but he blew over a .02 – or over twice the legal limit, he is on leave as would be expected. Any one else would have had a mandatory jail sentence.
Yea another small town cop the weekbefore last in small town Wi. beat the livin crap out of his girl freind and all he got was a ninor disorderly – as badly her beat her and one else would have been charged with assault and battery and faced jail at least and probobly prison time. well once again nothin` happened to these cop, not nothin to really speak of. Yea this pigs girl freind was even pregnat and he blammed his arrogance on job stress 🙁 .
hes not seen stress yet. its coming. the sovereign nationals will take care of his sort. instead of stress on his mind it will be survival.
Yes Paul, it will be a matter of survival for their sorry type. They do not even realize it tho.
they will.
And the stinking pig should just be happy he’s still breathing.
I’ll be happy to find out that he’s not.
“In hindsight I believe the comparison was a poor analogy, and for this I apologize. I stand committed to transparent leadership and will continue to engage the community we serve in an open, honest, and timely manner.”
How’d that hoof taste, porkboy?
I actually like to see things of this nature happen, as it only serves to awaken more of the sheeple to the fact that we live in a police state.
Sooner or later, someone (or someones) are going to start smoking these bloated donut scarfers for their criminal actions. Imagine their surprise when they discover they’re not bullet-proof, as they’re lying on the ground leaking.
A Kodak moment, to be sure.

Hey #1,
You know how they are always using the excuse that they were afraid for their lives when they beat the crap out of innocents? Well, I really believe that day is coming soon.
They are going to be in fear for their lives, because payback is a b**ch. They should have thought about what they were doing. The Kelley Thomas’ of this world are no longer here to speak out.
I have personally witnessed them jumping and attacking peaceful people and beating them while screaming “stop resisting”. It’s got to stop.
This “chief of police” essentially saying that she got off easy because she wasn’t raped was not misspeak. He meant it. He just regrets that he made the statement out loud. These POS code enforcers for the elite are growing way too arrogant. When the S truly HTF, even the dog catcher will be in hiding.
No sympathy, as they brought in on themselves.
Absolutely right, Deb
It’ll be a dark day in Porktown when the sheeple finally get spooked enough to stampede right over them.
As I’ve stated numerous times, they WILL be MY # 1 target, once the SHTF. If I survive, I hope to one day have a trophy room with dozens of shiny badges proudly displayed in it.
And nobody stood up for this young woman and called those guys out. Did she deserve to be handcuffed and taken to jail? Don’t they have better things to do? People need to stand up for one another or it will get worse and worse. If someone had at least said to them “what do you think you are doing”, it would have at least put them on notice. And if 20 people had done that, maybe they would really get the message.
Talk is cheap. They’d laugh in your face, tase (or shoot) you, take you to jail (if you’re still breathing, that is). and hit you with a slew of trumped up charges.
The ONLY thing these mongoloid meatballs understand is brute force. The ONLY thing that will get their attention is when the body count (on THEIR side) starts to pile up.
absolutely correct sir.
Agreed. It is seems our country has deteriorated from “Home of the Brave” to “Home of the Sheeple.” 🙁 We can’t allow this to continue.
Good for those who have started using the phones they are glued to, to record, and post, for others to see… BUT, there needs to be More than that. They need to “Grow a Pair.”
However, #1 and Paul are absolutely correct. We all know what it will ultimately take. 🙁
Until these cops start ending up dead, this shit is going to continue. There are people in Austin who know these thugs, live next door to them and see them around the neighborhoods. The people of Austin need to start taking care of business. You know damn well city counsel, the court system and the police union will back these thugs and the only way justice will be served is by the people’s direct action. Think Paul Kersey.
Notice AJ has absolutely ZERO coverage on this story in Austin, TX where his “network” is based. Where are AJ’s fans? Why aren’t they screaming for him to cover the story? I guess fat bastard is trying to keep a low profile for his buddy Art Acevedo, the Austin PD Chief. Imagine that. Either that or he cares very little for the people who supposedly helped fund his 4 or 5 studios. Now he’s a big man who doesn’t need their support anymore. Not like he ever needed their support anyways since he is a ZIONIST SHILL!!!
Oh wait! He has Rand Paul on his side. He doesn’t need us anymore. He only needs us to support and vote for Rand and he will help us vote these people out of office and take care of us. All the while he is moving his station to Mexico or some other country like the coward that he is.
The fat bastard needs to be hanged for high treason!
