I kind of thought I was done with the Art watch. But great and good FotB RoadRich sent me a second tip yesterday.
In a June 2 video, the current Houston police chief takes aim at Austin diversity while also seemingly blaming the city’s residents for inciting violence in Houston.
…
“I plead with you, [Houston] is the most diverse city in the United States. This isn’t Austin, Texas, where they’re diverse as long as they’re on the east side of 35,” said the police chief. “This is Houston, Texas. And for the people of Austin who want to come here and tear shit up, you’re in the wrong fucking city.”
Yeah. People from Austin were driving 300 miles round trip to tear (stuff) up in Houston, Art.
It’s unclear from the series of videos how Acevedo gets the megaphone, but he uses it to take another shot at Austin. “I know there are people here from Austin yelling at me and stuff from Austin, but I’m here to tell you, you ain’t in Austin,” Acevedo says. “You are in Houston. You are in H-Town.”
“One of the things I know is I’ve been coming here my whole life,” he continues. “We may fight, we may be angry at each other, but we know that when all these fucking people come out here from the outside trying to tear this shit up while the rest of the country’s burning. Nothing’s burning in Houston.”
Yeah, you’re in H-Town, all right, where Art Acevedo’s police department executed two innocent people during a drug raid. But somehow this is all Austin’s fault. We’re just out to get Art and his police department.
“One of the things I know is I’ve been coming here my whole life…”
