I was glad to see him move on from Austin as I disagreed with some of the policies he pushed. Went to Houston. Didn't realize he moved on to Miami.

Now he is still *****ing at the Constitutional Carry bill that was passed. I prefer you focus on Miami, sir.

Dudes always been an attention whoar

Federal Marshal friend of mine worked with him. Sounded like he was all politician and out of place in an actual police situation. Pretty much what you would expect.

He has been far too political... for way too long.

Opposition to this law is universal in the police industry. He is not an outlier.

I have a family member who worked directly with him. No one loves hearing Art more then Art.

Doesn't matter the subject matter.

No it's not. Opposition in the upper ranks of law enforcement is substantial, but not universal. Opposition from officers on the street is significantly lower.

Art is a huge POS. His only goal is to become a politician.

Anecdotally, several small town staunchly conservative officers that I know well are adamantly against the law.

so what.

I've always said the most dangerous area in town is anywhere between Art Avocado and the nearest TV camera.

Just trying to deflect his own failures in Miami. He is the LeBron of police.

I work with LEOs across the state fairly regularly. Last month, for example, I was in a training class with a couple dozen APD sergeants and lieutenants. None that I spoke to had an issue with the law. Neither have any of the other locals I have spoken to across the state. Neither do the federal agents I have spoken to, for that matter.

You can feel free to share anything that doesn't come from either a police union, Chief, or chiefs association to support your assertion.

I liked Art and was sad to see him pushed out of Austin for bogus reasons. Apparently a lot of APD hated him for trying to disrupt the "shooting unarmed teenagers and minorities" good old boys club that has been going on for decades.

He was never long for this city....

Art is that you?

So you were the person that called in to KLBJ the other day with Mark, Ed and Melinda? ;-)

Wasn't me, but if they used that line (I've been saying it for years) I agree with them. I've never seen a LEO seek the spotlight more than that guy.
