Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo threatened Dana Loesch and NRA TV with legal action over this clip from Tuesday:
“So Chief @ArtAcevedo, you support sanctuary city laws. You support lawlessness and law-breaking. You don’t get to cherry-pick what laws that you support … And you don’t get to lecture law-abiding Americans on what you think we should be able to do with our #2A.” – @DLoesch pic.twitter.com/WPWndmYhri

According to Acevedo, this was “another lie” although he didn’t say exactly what Dana lied about:
Another lie keep it up. You have deep pockets. Bye forever or until we meet in court.

And then Acevedo responded with a screenshot of an email declining an invitation to appear on Dana’s program along with his legal threat:
“Like I was saying, blah, blah, blah. Stop misrepresenting &/or lying about my views. Your action is leading to harassment by your minions. You may just make testing the limits of your dishonesty & cyber bullying worthwhile in Court. Many top-notch firms would do so pro-bono.”

Acevedo then tweeted that Dana should “be on notice” and the “we will be watching.” It’s not clear who the “we” is. Are Houston taxpayers paying for the police department to monitor news organizations now?

Lastly, I will not respond any further to you on any platform outside of a legal process. Be on notice that we will be watching and will do our talking in a court of Law if the need arises. Good day. https://t.co/xGKhMfaDqq

He ended with another legal threat:
P.S. Dana, I Forgot to thank you for making my point in my response to your kind request for an appearance on your insignificant show. Before I close for the last time, did I mention court of law? I retain my right to explore the limits of your twisting of the truth in court. https://t.co/xbGm1ubuKl

Dana’s response? BRING IT:
Wow, seriously? I simply criticized the hypocrisy of you lecturing law-abiding Americans while publicly supporting the disregard of federal immigration law. No one “misrepresented” you. It’s surreal to see a chief reacting to free speech this way. https://t.co/fwe6xpkikZ

A free people have the right to call to account elected or nominated political figures. I will continue to excercise my free speech and do so. You can continue to threaten censorship and surveillance. I’m sure that’s a good use of taxpayer dollars. https://t.co/ZW3QVkfadH

Ok. If that’s how you respond to free people questioning and criticizing political figures like yourself, that’s unfortunate, but I am not intimidated by you. https://t.co/VKLmbm8O0v
