Okay but do yourself a favor and look up Austin PD, Art Acevedo, and co. before you rush to their defense. They're not exactly shining beacons of virtue. Frankly, I am confused as to how Acevedo can survive an election in Austin with all the shit he and his deputies have done over the years.
- atxlurker 11y agoJust to alleviate your confusion, Acevedo can survive an election, because Chief of Police is an appointed position in Austin. He isn't on a ballot anywhere.
- fnordfnordfnord 11y agoThat would explain it! Not sure what I was thinking, he's police chief, not county sheriff. Looks like he's appointed by the City Manager, whoever that is. http://www.policechiefmagazine.org/magazine/issues/122006/PDFs/JobsAustinTX.PDF http://www.policechiefmagazine.org/magazine/issues/122006/PD...
