Houston Police Chief Needs a Spine

38 thoughts on “Houston Police Chief Needs a Spine”

1. I'm pinning this comment to clarify:
   1. This video isn't about the actual incident itself (I say this in the video), it's about the statements of the union president and response of the Chief.
   2. Narcotics had been purchased by informant at the location; a legal warrant was obtained and executed; narcotics WERE recovered inside the home, contrary to what some commenters are asserting based on information that is bad or removed from the situation.
   3. I try to do my due diligence and asked officers about the situation to make sure I was understanding things in context, etc. But, I'm always open to making sure that if I did say something incorrectly or get my facts wrong, that I come back and correct them and myself.

   Thanks guys!

2. Hey Mike, you merely proven the sad fact and truth that you are nothing more than a hypocrite when you stated that FOP Head' Joe Gimaldi was passionate when the truth and fact is that' not only did he make the threat to what he claimed' as scumbag criminals' he also made a direct threat to those who were critical of the Houston Police Department's handling of the deadly shooting that claimed the lives of an innocent couple because of what the Police found out later' to be a bogus search warrant and the lead officer lied about getting exact information of which his informants stated that there was no such information given about drugs coming from the couple's residence. YES!' An overzealous police unit with a fake warrant of which made the search illegal and the lead screwball officer in charge of that unit knew it and now the public knows that he lied about it and that there were no drugs found at the couple's residence. Now' Houston Police Chief' Art Acevedo after learing the facts about what actually happened' had the balls and courage to admit to the public that he got it wrong and that the officer(s) involved would be held accountable as they should be. You and Joe Gimaldi's so called "War On Cops" is nothing but 100% grade A' BULLSHIT RHETORIC!!!!! being wafted in the air like a wet bag of farts by you and demographic estrogen whiny cops and Police Union stooge idiots like you spreading that retarded narrative. This is why U.S Military, Firemen, Doctors, Nurses, Postal Workers will automatically get the respect, admiration and the true title of TRUE REAL HEROES because they actually earn it while U.S. Law Enforcement craves it so desperately by exhorting fear and intimidation of which gets them absolutely' "JACK SQUAT!!!! Because even at U.S. Law Enforcements proven worse' they offer 0 apology let alone' any real self accountability for it's CRAP!!!! Also' while you are quick to point out people who may not like and distrust police and for very valid reasons might I add I've noticed that you conveniently left out the truth and fact about current and former police who secretly and yet' still end up getting caught going on the dark web and social media to spew their racist rhetoric about black brown people and how they can't wait for what they claim' is an impending' "RACE WAR" not to mention that fact that they also get caught spreading their racist filth on text messages and even on their own police body cams but you're not about to divulge that factual information now' are you? Like I stated previously' Dude' you're a straight up HYPOCRITE and COWARD! for even trying to take it there .

3. Little Joe is so small because the rest of him ran down his mom's leg!!!
   Little Joe's mom must be real proud of the fascist coward and sissy her son turned out to be!!!
   Little Joe has a psyche that is tormented with little man's dieses!!
   Little Joe has a hero sience child hood,,and his name is Adolph Hitler!!
   The way that little Joe was threatening the lives of all the citizens he deems his enemy,,hell
   I so thought that he would be bigger!!
   Little Joe's fan,, the narrator,, just spent over 10 minutes trying to protect little Joe,,,from little Joe and his oversized nasty threatening mouth!!!
   Well mister narrator,,you sir,,explained away,,NOTHING!!!
   It appears sir,,you are just as long winded and full of cowardice rhetoric as your hero, little Joe!!
   So,, Mr. Narrator,,,please continue to do what you do best and get back down on your knees ,,,because it appears sir, that is where you do your best living at!!!
   Well,,if nothing else,,I'm sure little Joe appreciates you down there on his account!!!
   Take care,,Mr. Narrator,,oh, and please if you would,,,,in the name of your hero,,,little Joe,,accept this powerful and resonating ,,,
   HILE HITLER!!!!

4. Little Joe, I so thought that you would be BIGGER!! Threatening all Houston citizen's lives, loved ones and property!!! Why do degenerates gravitate to police work???

5. The activist – lets just call them “Auditors” are a necessary component to ensure Govt employees are performing to the standard of the office they hold.

   It seems the police do not like being questioned, or monitored.

   The Tuttle Raid is a prime example of why Audits on Govt employees is necessary

6. I cant stand how socially acceptable it is for people to slander and bash cops but its socially unacceptable for a police official to say they are sick of it. Unreal

7. How about stop being a part of the problem, your a douche! An if you carried anything more than a straw an a spit ball you would fall over! As far as dialog its real simple, the law like it or don't, works for us! You guys that see bad cops doing what they do, have a responsibility to stop this. I always respect police, an mike the cop remember their are dirt bags in you group too! An I mean you the police! Wake up!

8. As a fellow LEO I'm saying it, "Chief Jellyfish". Spot on Mike…spineless and may I add…prick.

9. An activist is a loud mouth with no plan! If these Officers engaged in criminal activity they will be held accountable for it by the courts. What the association rep said was unnecessary all that has to be done is all 350,000 law enforcement officials in the U.S. walk off the job and let the wolves have the sheep. Then the Purge will commence!!!

10. What's the matter with giving them a dose of their own medicine? Because I can just about bet you the Tuttle family has no problems with a pig roast right now and nor do I these bastards get away with literal murder and the courts uphold them so just what are people suppose to do

11. The violent culture was precipitated by law enforcement. If law enforcement had not overstepped their bounds, you wouldn’t have the culture that is prevalent today. Every law enforcement officer that I hear using the “one bad apple” argument makes me want to vomit. I realize that this is not a new phenomenon. Law enforcement has overstepped their bounds for decades. The reason that we have the uprising of activism of today is a direct result of social media. Now the people have a platform to show the true narrative instead of what law enforcement wants to force feed us as “their truth”.

    Law enforcement officials across the nation need to be weeding out these “bad apples” instead of protecting them. You make it sound like the people don’t have the right to be angry with the multitudes of police violence in this country. Not only do they have the right, but they have the obligation to bring these issues to the forefront. I have only watched a few of you videos, but I do agree with you about one thing. The vast majority of what is on social media does not paint law enforcement in a good light. That is unfortunate, because I know that a large majority of law enforcement are good and decent individuals. But when those officers stand behind “bad apples” and “loose cannons”, what other recourse do the people have. If you look the other way when your colleagues are clearly in the wrong, then you are no better than they are. Here is the difference. When a cop does something wrong, or often times illegal, they get a slap on the wrist and we get told that they just need better training. When the public encounters these “bad apples” with their Napoleon Complex, they ruin people’s lives. This is not “faux outrage”, this is actual outrage.

    In this case, two innocent people lost their lives. Not their temporary freedom, THEIR LIVES. Let that sink in. Everybody from your side of the argument wants to brush right over that point as quickly as possible. These people are dead. They are dead because this pile of feces wanted to pad his numbers. This is not a little deal. How many people’s lives have to be lost before it is okay in your opinion for the people to revolt?

    Here’s the kicker, I am actually pro law enforcement. What I absolutely stand against though is corruption on every level. But because I speak out against that corruption, I am perceived by a great number of people as an enemy to law enforcement. This Gamaldi prick that you are defending is part of the problem. If you stand with him, then by proxy you are part of the problem as well.

    You made a special point to say that it is law enforcement that is going after Goins. I can guarantee you one thing, had it not been for an activist being all over this story from the beginning, we would be force fed a completely different narrative right now. The only reason that Houston police are going after this guy is because of political and social pressure. He is the sacrificial lamb. The “one bad apple” argument. This is not one bad apple here and there, this is a systematic problem. Until people like yourselves can come to terms and admit that, then it is unlikely that you will ever get the calm dialogue you have eluded to. The broader message is, GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER!

    I want to end this by illuminating a recent story. A little girl was kidnapped recently in Arlington, Texas I believe. Within several hours law enforcement had tracked down that son of a bitch that took her from her mother’s arms. Those are the men and women of law enforcement that I support. I wish their were more like them. There are bad people in this world, I will be the first to admit that. Law enforcement is necessary in our society, I will never deny that either. If you truly want to change the narrative though, condemn the “bad apples” of the world instead of telling us how the good outweighs the bad. Do that, and you will have my undying support. Do it not, and I will stand with people that rise up against you. The perception is that law enforcement are the best among us, in many cases that is true. I’ll leave you with this thought though. Corruption of the best, is the worst. What are you going to do about it?

12. HPD has a list of every protester , activist , etc in a filing cabinet 100% fact, you call this American freedom …. come on Mike how can this be used against citizens

13. Do your jobs better you lying spineless POS!
    You got citizens number – well EVERYONE knows just what YOU are all about!
    Killing innocent people, oh yeah – you are doing a great job!
    This guy narrating — STFU — Bootlicking Copsucking POS!

14. The police department is corrupted and it will be soon to kill again innocent people again ..lets clean up the trash who served and protect the poblic

15. Why the city don't fire the chife of police for corrupted ..

16. Now, who do you suppose drapes those targets over your shoulders…? Could it be the behaviour of filthy frikkin' COPS who clothe THEMSELVES in disgrace, who bring the hatred on not ONLY themselves, but also the RARE few who ARE honest, and actually abide by the law, THEMSELVES?

17. 1. They lied to get the warrent. 2. Cop were shot by other cops in a crossfire.3.they came in shooting.

18. Well sadly, Mike the Cop, your inference to jOe GrimAldi is not on target. While he mentioned "dirt bags" killing Cops he then turned around and threatened Anyone "…spreading the Rhetoric that police officers are the enemy…" and "…stir the pot..". When they do bad things they are, when they lie, cheat, steal, and incarcerate Innocent people They Are the Enemy. They are one of very worst thing that undermines liberty, freedom, and trust of citizens.
    This might be a new thought but that is the duty of Every citizen in This country to keep government in check, and responsible for their actions, words, and deeds. When some loud mouth jackass, knee-jerks and stands up claiming to speak for Every police officer in this country and makes an oppressive statement with the Mayor, Executive Assistant Chief Slinkard, and other city minions at his back saying basically, "don't watch us, we're watching you". OK big brother. That's why the Chief is distancing himself from GrimAldi, Mr. "All yall". That means everyone last I checked, media, auditors, and citizens.

    Yes the chief of every department represents rank and file. We don't send some plumber to make a state visit to another country, the president does. He represents us, the USA citizens. I'm not sure how you seem to think GrimAldi represents HPD more so than Acevado. GrimAldi only represents the union made up of HPD "file" members.

    Though Ace-evade-O ain't lily white either. HPD has a history of brutality, statistically high cops discharging firearms, and failure to properly supervise officers. That's whats was known at this time of your video posting.
    The rabbit hole got even deeper, murkier, and sinister as time has gone on. Tuttle and his wife where not even armed, she was killed by cops outside of the home as well as the cops inside where shot by cops outside, DOH. The warrant was fabricated. Goines is as dirty as a hog in mud. Had several disciplinary actions against him. Which he just ignored having drugs and firearms that where not accounted for by any measure in his car at this crime scene.
    I understand officers want to cover each others backs. You should, however when you have a rouge you "guys" keep covering for him and will sooner throw a whistler blower under the bus. So police are unable to police themselves, administration are not incline to do it. Whom does that leave Mike? Where was the law & order, the justice on this?

19. This chief should resign as he is head of the office and he is the running a corrupt department

20. proof this Jackboot thug is full of shit or these 2 fine examples of dirty cops would not have been arrested for the botched raid that killed Mr. Tuttle @t one is now going on trial for both murders other for trying to cover it all up

21. let's ask the residents of Harding Street just who the enemy really is the corrupt cops or the citizens they murdered??? I hope your the next Jackboot Thug that get what you have coming!!!

22. We're waiting for you to redo your pinned statement!

23. THIS IS NOTHING NEW!!!!! THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE THUG COP WAS BLACK AND THE INNOCENT PEOPLE WERE WHITE!!! IF IT WERE THE OPPOSITE WE WOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION!!! AND "JOE WHAT HIS NAME" IS A STRAIGHT UP JOKE!!! HIS MANTRA IS; "LET US INVESTIGATE OURSELVES AND AS USUAL, WE WILL FIND THAT WE HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG"!! LIKE I SAID HE IS A "STRAIGHT UP JOKE!!!

24. What is the latest on this story? I've seen/heard a few different things but nothing definitive.

25. my thumb down is for your bs copsplaining. take your blue line gang and visit the law library

26. Guess you were wrong they were pigs. LOL

27. The fact that he divided his department like that is despicable! If I worked under him I'd apply to another city and I'd let him know (after I got the Job!!!) That he was the reason I transferred.

28. Two Houston cops, Goines and Bryant charged with felony murder…. Mike the cop…..🤫🤫🤫🤐🤐🤐

29. Mike the cop, the least informed, most biased bootlicker on YouTube!

30. Another great video Mike you explained everything in a clear concise manner on a very difficult occurrence that should never have transpired.

31. Two bad cops does not mean they all are it's time to stop and think about that .
    To anyone that hates cops don't call them if your car gets stolen or your house gets broken into don't be a hypocrite and call them when you need them .
    If it was not for police no one would be safe .

32. Maybe he should watch again. This is about people holding the police accountable for their actions. He threatened the people who questioned the police and their actions to be lawful.

33. Do you consider “over the top” now Mike? I notice you haven’t made any comments on the murders since the corruption has been uncovered.

    However you want to spin it, these were murders. Premeditated and carefully planned with militaristic precision…. if you consider precision blindly firing your weapons from outside the house to kill anybody and anything inside the house. Or if you consider precision two bullets fired through a window over an hour after the gunfire ceased to execute Mr. Tuttle as he laid on the floor with the kill shot entering the back of his neck and exiting his mouth at a downward angle as if being shot from above, according to the autopsy report.

    Where’s your video covering all the information that has since come to light and hasn’t been swept under the rug? By not talking about it are you trying to let it die as well?

    1. Both Art A. And Joe G. Belong in prison with the rest of the involved parties of the murders.

    2. Narcotics were NEVER purchased by any informant at the location. The police officer lied to get the warrant, imagine that, a cop lied on a report. I know, it’s hard to believe, I’m still in shock. Thus, the warrant was illegal and anything found inside is the fruit of the poisonous tree. What about the ACTUAL narcotics that were found in the police officer’s car? No response huh?

    3. You better start correcting yourself…. I won’t hold my breath. Typical.

34. Mike. You are wrong about the fact that it was a legal raid. False statements sworn to by sh*t Goings. Makes the raid illegal and thus and act of murder. To not prosecute those responsible for the botched raid, including charging goings with murder is the correct t action. To not support that conclusion is being a supporter of state sanctioned murder!

35. Who am I going to believe: A guy with a youtube channel or a police chief who has commanded a number of top executive jobs in major police departments? I think the answer is clear.

36. Faux outrage? Corrupt, lying detective has a crony judge issue a false no knock warrant based on nonexistent information. Houston police go into warrior cop mode and swat team house and murder the occupants. But what the heck it was all about officer safety. As to the chief and the union boss, a pox on both their houses.

38. Looks like now the police messed that whole raid thing up.
