I don’t think Garcia would last in Houston or Austin. He stands for fighting crime which is not what either of those cities would want.

[@velvetice100]

You have a point the whole law system is useless in Houston!

[@lifeinvestments6329]

His old boss TC is the city manager in Austin he hired him in Dallas

[@carefulconsumer8682]

Houston administration -- mayor, city council, judges --- are too pro-crime for Garcia. Crime is out of control in Houston and the surrounding areas and no one cares as long as they get their paychecks.

[@ray.d.oeaux1230]

The residents ultimately determine whether their city is law-abiding and safe, not the police chief. Lawless city, lawless residents.

[@alejmez8594]

Omg he's cute and I'm single

[@jasoneaton9477]

Let him go.. he's just a face for the media just like the mayor

[@TRIPLEDIGITS]

Dallas is doo doo

[@ticia9563]

Only the officers can tell you if the chief is good or not. That’s the real tea. And they never speak out or get interviewed!

[@gusgarza6529]

No! Violence way out of hand in Houston. No solution for this. 😢

[@DaSeanTx]

Plenty is solutions.

TRUCKERS PASSING THRU HOUSTON VIA610 WESTLOOP STARING AT THE SKYSCRAPERS

[@LEESMITH-o3k]

Why would we bring a Chief from Dallas to oversee a city larger than Dallas, Dallas have a crime problem too!!!!!

[@lifeinvestments6329]

Okay Houston is larger but the man know how to do his job the only difference he has to spent his operation with more personnel same idea but with a larger Department

[@taskforcekarma6945]

Chief Garcia served as Chief of Police in San Jose, CA which has a population of almost around 972,500 people, prior to coming to Dallas PD.

[@texaslegend5076]

Chief Garcia ain’t about no bull💩. 💪🏾💪🏾

[@riorio-rt1oq]

Yea chief cold case has gotten caught😂😂😂

[@muddysludge7117]

NO!

[@honeybrown2739]

Harris county and Galveston County need someone who really wants to fight the crime not to joining them. Lately we have MILITARS, POLICE and others joining and protecting crimes.

[@lifeinvestments6329]

TC was a good city manager for Dallas Eric Johnson I like him as well but he got the humble himself let the man do his job he the one that hired Eddie Garcia in public safety was heading in the right way I don't care what nobody said the next city manager of Dallas has big shoes to fill

[@Tusk_Tact]

Iant Austin a step down?

[@lifeinvestments6329]

When it comes to money is not he wants the contract security Austin will give him that

[@tr7287]

Give him at least 25k more pay than Dallas and he'll go.

[@patrickhall3878]

DAs won’t prosecute…

[@TxNative84]

He's going to have his hands full if he goes to Houston! That's a whole different type of environment over there.

[@partnerwithjee5114]

EXPLAIN

[@wildwildwest1662]

Please don’t go ! Don’t go , please don’t go . 😂😂😂

[@vanlifewithbao7917]

He's awesome hopefully he stays

[@billygombirit7090]

I think chief eddie garcia was right, he said turn around and go back home

[@jayyGutta214]

It wasn’t the chief that said that, it was city manager Kimberly Tolbert, who stated; “To the cities shopping in DAllAS for a new chief, I have one message for you: ‘turn around and go back home.’” 😂😂😂

[@SalvadorSanchez-ht6vp]

Wow super Cop

[@WaveGod813]

He gone
