I reviewed most (not all) of the arrests that appeared to be associated with the protests on the Harris County District Court website

“We’re seeing that there are people — who are not people of color — who are coming into this city and other cities to actually start agitating and actually engaging in violence,” Acevedo said. “Unfortunately, what happens is there are provocateurs or anarchists or those who want to hijack the legitimate pain, the legitimate grievances, the legitimate activities of 80 percent — if not more — of that crowd.”

I looked at the majority of the arrest records over the last 72 hours for charges of obstruction of highway, criminal mischief, evading arrest, vandalism, theft, interference duties of public servant, assault of public servant, etc

Well over 98% provided a local Houston area address. I found one from Temple(the furthest away) Well over 95% had Black or Hispanic listed as race and most of the people listed as white had Hispanic surnames.

Is Acevedo lying in the above quote or are our police officers only arresting the local people of color?
