We don’t have all of the particulars right now, but when gunfire is ringing out with, police are trained, expected, and required to engage, engage, engage. This is a moral and ethical obligation.

- Replying to @ArtAcevedoYep. The Nazi’s enforced their laws as well. You don’t separate children from their families! Ever! You’d have to kill me to take my child from me simply because I was trying to get them to a better place for a better tomorrow. I am glad to be on the right side of history.
- The failure of our electric grid is a failure of STATE leaders who continue to focus on political theater instead of effective governance. We are in the 21st century and live in one the world’s most developed nations. Addressing this catastrophic failure must be job one!
- Replying to @realDonaldTrumpIf you aren’t offended by the this tweet, you aren’t a patriot, nor a Christian, nor a person of any faith or any legitimate religion on Earth. This is the most un-American statement a POTUS has made in modern times. This is a truly sad day and a new now for our Nation.
- Shame to all given the task to enact common sense statutes & policies & continue to fail our families & especially our children. And shame to all that fail to speak out, including law-enforcement leaders. We are in these positions to mark a difference.
- Replying to @JohnCornynIn 32 years policing I’ve yet encounter a case of a community member using an AR-15 for self-defense. I’m not saying it hasn’t happened, but I’d bet the house they’ve been used many, many times to slaughter innocent Americans as opposed to self-defense.
- Replying to @ArtAcevedoKeep them together and if they don’t meet asylum requirements deport them as a family unit. We need comprehensive immigration reform but both major political parties have failed to address this problem because it gives tnem an issue to pander to their respective base.
- We have had several officers shot please pray for officers on the way to the scene now more information to follow.
- Replying to @KenPaxtonTXAs AG, you should know police chiefs have little to zero to do with who gets out of jail. You know, first hand, I have led the charge against letting violent offenders out on PR and low bond, and as a defendant with pending felony charges, you know how easy it is to get PR bonds.
- Replying to @tedcruzAmazing, you fanned the flames with your disingenuous rhetoric. Don’t forget your thoughts and prayers.
- The mask recision by @GregAbbott_TX, while grossly misguided, will afford Texans an opportunity to see who among us cares enough about their fellow Texans to follow simple steps to protect our fellow Texans from a deadly virus. @houstonpolice will continue to follow the science.
- Shame on you @tedcruz, @GOPLeader, and all who fed the false narrative about our election, which has led to what we are witnessing in our Nation’s Capitol. You fanned the flames of mistrust and history will hold you accountable for the ensuing chaos. Outrageous!
- have reports of people getting into attic to escape floodwater do not do so unless you have an ax or means to break through onto your roof
- Replying to @NBCNewsThe motorist’s reasonable explanation is one many officers have heard and, in fact, many officers have advised people to put on hazards and pull into a well lit parking lot of an open business when being pulled over at night. That’s exactly what she did.
