5 Officers Shot In Houston - Pray

If Art can't give answers to the DA, perhaps he needs a new job.

This incident is beyond outrageous. The Chief has to be fired a long time. FBI should clean up Houston Corrupt PD.

Sorry Beiruty, but the FBI can't clean themselves.

Look into his employment history. Been fired numerous times for incompetency.
My apologies, he was always "offered better a job elsewhere" since you can't really fire a chief. Everywhere he goes, he leaves a steaming pile behind.
It is not hard to make a conclusion.

I hear he hasn't "helped" in Dallas yet. Maybe he will get "a lucrative job offer" there?
(sorry, Dallasians!)

As for the drug bust, it really was a fiasco. Isn't that what the SWAT team is for? This sounded like a suicide mission from the beginning. *facepalm*
Those officers didn't deserve that.

He makes Renee Hall look like Alfred Einsteen.

I thought Acevedo promised transparency in all of this--guess my bad. Looks to me like he is circling the wagons and preparing for a long defense as even the District Attorney has to ask for key records.
Sad.

The Harris County District Attorney’s Office warned the Houston Police Department on Thursday [June 20]
that it will serve the department with grand jury subpoenas next week if they don’t provide records
related to all confidential informants who worked with the officers involved in a January 28 drug raid
that left two civilians dead and five officers wounded.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- As the fallout continues from the botched Houston police raid that killed a
couple in their own home in January, the district attorney's office is demanding records about all confidential
informants dating back for years. The Harris County District Attorney's Office says their team intends to review
"all HPD records related to all confidential informants utilized by officers involved in the Harding Street shooting."

The files requested include the names of informants, locations of buys, payouts to those informants, who approved
those payments and who signed off on any operations. The scope of the request is not limited to just the Harding Street
raid, according to the DA's Office, but is related to all confidential informants used by HPD Narcotics Squad 15 from
January 1, 2014 to the present.

I'm surprised Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott are turning blind eyes to the cover up. I used to respect them.

I am speculating that the Houston City Attorney's Office advised Art to clam up and lawyer up in light of potential civil and criminal lawsuits--hence the lack of cooperation from him despite his earlier promises to be transparent. Sad.

HPD hands over documents.

DA wants additional $2 mil more to complete the investigation? Does this sound right?

Well I guess it depended on how much HPD is hiding. Said Narcotics Division. So it may be a big deal. A lot of issues to look at not just this one case. Tip of the iceberg thing or not.

They should take the investigation costs out of the HPD pension fund to penalize the bad guys instead of the tax payers.

Commissioners vote to table request for additional money.

So does that mean no investigation?

Criminals aid and abet other criminals, apparently.
