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.
He said, “We were in Washington Monday talking about gun violence in our city, in our community, in our country, and I don’t want to hear from politicians tomorrow about how much they care about my cop.”
He added, “If they’re not here to talk to us about solutions, then don’t bother showing up to the Houston Police Department.”
Acevedo took time to thank Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) for coming out in support of gun control after the August 31, 2019, shooting in Midland-Odessa. On September 2, 2019, Breitbart News reported Patrick’s call for action against private gun sales.

No sympathy… in fact, I hope the POS croaks, @sshole.
And you’ll hang for treason with the rest of the ‘gun control’ supporters, scumbag.

F$&K ‘YOUR’ COP (PIG) (you buttbuddies, or what?) , AND F$&K YOU, TRAITOR!!!
He’s right take the guns from the cops !!! They don’t seem to know how to keep hold or control em so take em from the idiot cop!
I’m all in favor of that.
Yeah, he needs to push gun control alright; to his own officers. Starting with how to keep control over their own firearm, and not get shot with it. That’s the ONLY gun control he needs to be concerned with.
They’ve got all the training they need and more. Its-not-real sees to that and their trigger-happy tendencies that are taught to them to use on US. He needs to train them to form a circular firing squad and have someone yell “FIRE! “. Their existence alone is unlawful and their function is to extort $ from the American Nationals to fill the corporations’ pocket.
As Bill Murray said in Ghostbusters, “Nice shootin’ Tex!”
HAHAHAHA!!!
THATS WHAT CAME TO MIND AS WELL…..
HAHAHAHA!!!
Quit making such a big deal over this
The pigs gonna survive
Maybe now he will learn about what it is to not be such a POS , we can only hope he hangs this job up and gets him something he can be respected for
Did you learn anything pig?
