Re: 5 Officers Shot In Houston - Pray

The police know a bunch they are not telling us.
Hopefully the truth will eventually filter out--or at least more than we know now.
We will see if Acevedo really believes in "transparency."

Re: 5 Officers Shot In Houston - Pray

I thought earlier it was mentioned the raid was not video-taped or that law enforcement was not wearing body-cams.
Now we get this from the article above:
He (Acevedo) said that body-worn camera footage has already started being reviewed.
I am so confused! :( :???:

Re: 5 Officers Shot In Houston - Pray

The search warrant says "Harding" Street--not "Hardy."
The search warrant describes the house as white with a yellow trim if memory serves--that matches the house they busted into--not the house on Hardy.
We certainly need more information. The search warrant also mentions a 9 mm handgun---did not hear of law enforcement retrieving that.
I am certainly troubled by all of this but I will wait until we get more facts to form a final opinion.

Re: the pit bull...If I lived in the Milby area as a home-owner I would have a pit bull or german shepherd too.
Re: recordings. I believe this raid had to be recorded--if not video then certainly audio. Acevedeo needs to release the audio on this raid.

I know it's still early into the details of this but is it possible this couple was swatted?
I agree. Acevedo needs to be more forth-coming with all the facts--hopefully he will. He should release the search warrant and return--he can redact anything related to informants, etc. I also have trouble believing this was not recorded. Have never been a big fan of Acevedo anyway.
Regarding the capacity of a .357 magnum revolver---my Smith and Wesson 686 in .357 magnum is a seven shot.
Hope the officers make a speedy recovery.

Re: 5 Officers Shot In Houston - Pray

Prayers for the officers and their families.
Some of those raids are military-style raids with helmets, shields, bullet-proof vests, etc. Some of them wear helmet-cams. Wonder if the shootout was recorded?
The officers announced their presence allowing the drug thugs time to get their weapons and start shooting. Maybe a no-knock raid would have been safer for the officers involved.
