""The people of Houston, they don't want less policing, they want better policing and well-trained police officers," Acevedo said as his department welcomed 44 new officers this week and look forward to the addition of 400 officers over the next several months.
"We're excited about the restoration of five classes, while places like Austin [Texas] are cutting a significant amount of police resources," he continued.
Acevedo was making reference to the Austin City Council's unanimous vote last week to cut $150 million from the city's police budget and reinvest the money into various other community programs.
"I think it's ridiculous when you make decisions that are knee-jerk political decisions that are not based on evidence, not based on research," Acevedo added. "It ends up impacting the safety of American people in Austin.""

"It ends up impacting the safety of American people in Austin." Yeah, sure will. And it'll negatively impact the Commiecrats, too -- but who cares!
Acevedo is still a commie though
Democrat run for 30 years. Officers are better off going somewhere red.
