Houston police chief criticizes McConnell and Senate Republicans over guns: 'Whose side are you on?'

"I don't want to hear about how much they support law enforcement," Acevedo said. "I don't want to hear about how much they care about lives and the sanctity of lives yet, we all know in law enforcement that one of the biggest reasons that the Senate and Mitch McConnell and (Texas Sens.) John Cornyn and Ted Cruz and others are not getting into a room and having a conference committee with the House and getting the Violence Against Women's Act (passed) is because the NRA doesn't like the fact that we want to take firearms out of the hands of boyfriends that abuse their girlfriends.

And who killed our sergeant? A boyfriend abusing his girlfriend. So you're either here for women and children and our daughters and our sisters and our aunts, or you're here for the (National Rifle Association)."

He continued: "So I don't want to see their little smug faces talking about how much they care about law enforcement when I'm burying a sergeant because they don't want to piss off the NRA. Make up your minds, whose side are you on? Gun manufacturers, the gun lobby, or the children that are getting gunned down in this country every single day."

Thank you for posting. Wonder what Fox's God warrior Wayne Ivey would say to that.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED.
-BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is.
-They are both card carrying narcissists.
^These are PROVED facts.

Yup - make a choice - NRA and it's pro slaughter agenda or the Police. We know where dotards stand, and it's not with the police.

The foreign backed NRA or American citizens? There once was a time this question would have been a no-brainer.

I was right.

America reaps what it sows.
