Good that Houston has a Mayor now that actually comes out and takes press briefings and addresses real issues. Last Administration was to focused on how much money they could get away with from the taxpayers.

Where is your proof. This guy has been in office fora few months. I guess he is honest because he is Caucasian.

Looks like we have a Mayor that is responsible and transparent.

This guy is an idiot that will not get another term. He has been in politics for a long time and he plays politics very well.

As a former reporter in this city for nearly fifty years I have seen incident after incident of stonewalling involving HPD and other departments by mayor after mayor. It is refreshing to see this mayor’s transparency and open discourse with the news media and the citizenry the media represents.

Now if we could get our media to be honest and tell us the truth instead of scripted mush from WEF.. We would be a better town..

If this chief retired abruptly, there is a good chance that any ongoing investigation would have uncovered something negative. It would be of NO surprise to me if there was a deal made that would block any of that type of information from going public in exchange for that abrupt retirement. These types of deals are made all the time. We, the People, have no idea how much corruption and other criminal activity is hidden from us. We don't know what we don't know.

Whitmire is a beast!! He is a great politician. Years of experience.
@terryphelps81335 ай бұрын
What makes him a beast? He has been in office for a few months. He seems like a typical politician.

I just notice a few board members have been quiet since Mayor Turner. I think they trying to figure out Whitmire angle. It’s not him though but it’s a lot of distorted information. Leaders take the hit the most unfortunately. It’s tough because you would think your core team would be strong but that’s not the case all the time.

And on my birthday when everyone knew I wasn't there, it was written that so and so overheard *part* of a conversation- and my word or side had no meaning in a state agency. Politics run everything even in this case; sounds like Whitmire is doing the sensible thing

Such a great mayor who is still covering for a liar and a police dept that not only failed in doing their job but didnt even try . Not to mention this ' great mayor ' who ran on reducing crime but its worse than ever . If this was still turner they would be calling for his head but we know what the difference is .
@jamescash8875 ай бұрын
Turner had two full terms and crime went through the roof. You expect a mayor who has been in just a few months to clean that up in an instant? Don’t be foolish.

@@jamescash887 im only repeating what HE said ," i will stop crime day one " . Remember that ? And if you really think there is any difference between him and turner well whitmire has been in government 50 years and i cant think of anything he ever did to make me safer ..can you ? I mean he was over tdcj the whole time that has been under federal investigation the whole time ,you know the agency that is supposed to reform the criminals so they dont get out and terrifies us ? No my friend ( sarcasm ) the reason why u hate turner and love this guy has not a thing to do with competancy at all . We'll see how much you like him when those good ole property taxes sky rockets to pay those firefighters . But hey yall voted for it .

Acevedo was the worst kind of tyrant. He hated the Constitution, particularly the 1st Amendment. If you think he was a good guy, you clearly aren't paying any attention to the world around you.

Hell na, Alcevedo is worthless. Needs to look for a really top notch chief that has integrity and to do the right thing at all times

The bottom line is HPD is short handed and will always be so therefore the crime will not change. Nobody wants this work anymore.
@Pikaboo12344 ай бұрын
Hell no! Especially with HpD being top heavy and street officers taking all the heat for everything. Nobody wants that job and now they don’t want to be firefighters either.
@DianaG-bk4ko5 ай бұрын
Put Alcevedo back in charge now that the atmosphere is different now that Turner is gone and the focus is on getting the department back on track and above board; absolute transparency and accountability!
@jamescash8875 ай бұрын
Acevedo is corrupt as all the rest of them. He covered up the Harding street raid which should be grounds for removal all on its own.

idea - hire retired Anchorage cop Tyrone Guillory - he is also retired DHS Swat team and manager
