Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo steps down
Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo has announced his resignation and is set to start a new role as Chief of Miami Police Department in a matter of weeks.
HOUSTON - Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo spoke on Monday regarding his announcement that he will be resigning his post and moving on to a new city.
During a press conference on Monday in Miami, Acevedo spoke about the opportunity. I wasn’t looking for this opportunity, but in my heart, I knew that my mayor Sylvester Turner, who’s a phenomenal leader in Houston I knew his time was coming up, and I was contemplating what’s next, because politics are not in my heart, because as you know, I have no home. I piss off the left and the right to be honest with you because they’re both extreme, but service is in my heart and making a difference is in my heart

Dear @TomCottonAR your assertions about the overwhelming support of law enforcement for @TheJusticeDept nominees says more about your lack of respect for our collective opinion than our high regard for these nominees. Welcome to respond. https://t.co/J3U8gRiOaJ
U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton’s attack on strong women is not only hypocritical in many cases, given the former guy, but also often fact-deficient.

Case in point: The Washington Post examined Cotton’s suggestion that a particular nominee Vanita Gupta, a supremely qualified strong woman and, it so happens, a child of immigrants enjoyed law enforcement support for unsubstantiated nefarious reasons. Finding: Baloney as also indicated in the Tweet I’ve included from the police chief of Houston.

At reader request, I’ve added this daily chart from 91-DIVOC. The data is the Johns Hopkins CSSE data. Here is the site.
I feel I’m engaging in a macabre form of tape-watching. If we are in the eye of the storm, we are still in the eye of the storm.
Early in February, I said a simple way to compare Biden’s performance to Trump’s on vaccination would be to compare the slopes of the curves. If Biden accelerated vaccine administration, post-Inaugural slopes would get steeper. They have not. The fragmented, Federalized, and profit-driven lumbering monstrosity that we laughingly call our “health care” “system” has not responded to “energy in the executive,” but has continued on its inertial path.
