They have as at least as much choice as people who work for Dick's Sporting Goods, Levi's, UnderArmor, Yeti...Jusme wrote: Mon Feb 25, 2019 7:02 pmUnfortunately, there are a lot of good men and women, who are shackled to him through no choice of their own.
It is unfair to compare and contrast the career choice of a veteran LEO who may have many years invested in the job with a cashier or stock clerk who could likely fine three dozen equal jobs within a quarter-mile radius of the current employer.Gator Guy wrote: Tue Feb 26, 2019 10:52 amThey have as at least as much choice as people who work for Dick's Sporting Goods, Levi's, UnderArmor, Yeti...Jusme wrote: Mon Feb 25, 2019 7:02 pmUnfortunately, there are a lot of good men and women, who are shackled to him through no choice of their own.
With the caveat being that it actually has to be true.Gator Guy wrote: Tue Feb 26, 2019 12:23 pm To paraphrase Beruity, speaking the truth is not bashing.
In two recent posts, you've decided to 'bash' all HPD officers because they choose to remain gainfully employed under Acevedo (in violation of Forum Rule #9), and then accuse all LTC instructors as being opposed to the constitution.Gator Guy wrote: Tue Feb 26, 2019 12:23 pm To paraphrase Beruity, speaking the truth is not bashing.
And then be replaced, by those who agree with his stance, and be the largest unconstitutional street gang in history. Those who choose to stay, and uphold their oath, along with the old piece of paper, in Washington DC, are the only thing holding Acevedo back.

Wrong! The retail positions you mention are not the same as the unionized positions at HPD. The officers pensions, health care, etc. are linked to their seniority. They cannot change jobs as easily as changing retail employment positions without giving up quite a bit on benefits and seniority. You made a poor comparison.Gator Guy wrote: Tue Feb 26, 2019 10:52 amThey have as at least as much choice as people who work for Dick's Sporting Goods, Levi's, UnderArmor, Yeti...Jusme wrote: Mon Feb 25, 2019 7:02 pmUnfortunately, there are a lot of good men and women, who are shackled to him through no choice of their own.
Good point! Not only is the Houston Police management anti-RKBA but the Houston Police union is also anti-RKBA and (unlike HPD management chosen by politicians) the Houston Police do choose their union leaders.OneGun wrote: Tue Feb 26, 2019 11:19 pmWrong!

As a clown, he makes Pennywise seem warm, cuddly, and benevolent.Take Down Sicko wrote: Wed Feb 27, 2019 10:09 am We dont need this clown (Avocado) in charge of anything in our city.
Actually, I've been thinking Cuba or Venezuela......proudpirate wrote: Mon Feb 25, 2019 6:44 pm Far as I am concerned he is no longer welcome in Texas. I was so happy when he left Austin. He needs to be sent back to California. His politics are not welcome in this state. He's a hypocrite of the highest form. He's anti-gun yet carries a weapon as a "police officer". If the Houston mayor had any courage he would fire Art. Send him packing.

I know it is hard to pick up the subtleties and nuances of jokes in a written format such as this but I thought in this case the joke would be obvious. Apparently, I was wrong.
I too have attended a Citizens Academy and I meet regularly with a deputy I mentor.
No worries. Sorry about your back and hope you heal up soon. Back pain is quite debilitating.RoyGBiv wrote: Wed Feb 27, 2019 6:03 pmMy back is wack.
