well to these leftys, the agenda comes first, besides I'd love to see the SA cases he did investigate, bet they were the same color as him. this is just typical 13%r behavior when they get some power. always leads to corruption, neglect of duty and all around fVckupedness,
These guys who have made it to the highest ranks of law enforcement are careerists who usually began their climb to the top after only a couple of years on the street. They never develop a sympathy for victims. This guy has probably never even handled a SA case.
It is. In another video he states he's not responsible for every single person in the department. No leader would try to shift the blame. They would own up to their team's failure and do better. He then says we aren't making this personal yet he is taking it personally.
He is not answering the questions. He is above the law. He acts and sounds like KJP at the White House: dodging questions and getting angry. He needs to be fired effective immediately.
The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them.
It’s not about filling quota , it’s about the system as a whole . This police chief has works in that department for 34 years yet never once felt compelled to address it . If it was a fund issue he should have said something just like he was quick to complain about budget cuts affecting his own salary and pension. Yet, he continues to get paid to not address the problem.
This is shining a light on so many things that are wrong in our court system. So many laws are created not to protect survivors, but to protect the abusers. Following what is happening in the family court system right now I think is a great place to start. Mainly because abusers Often could be stopped in these cases, as there are early signs of this behavior that could’ve been prevented nine times out of 10 if people had listened to family members of those who have been abused! This is a structural issue. As a sexual assault survivor, I can say that the police did nothing and never even followed up on my case at all. This is pretty typical. Why do you think that is?
There is a backlog everywhere and not just Houston . Why do people continue to fund a system that doesn’t put their safety as a priority. They knew about this issue and yet nothing was done.
He has NO right to be so pompous! He should have acted on what he knew in 2021! I hope he gets fired and is never hired into a new position of law enforcement! He makes me sick acting like he shouldn’t have to ANSWER questions. This is atrocious! 😡😡
When people say defund police this is part of the reason, they knew they had an issue but still did not address the issue. Yet this same police chief was complaining about budget cuts , he never complained about the rape kits …? Like are people really being protected under this system?
As much respect I have for our police force. This is shamful and embarrassing. How do you sleep at night knowing the lives your effecting? If your not going to do your job someone else will.
It really boils down to what the code said..."Lack of Personnel". This is happening across the board in multiple fields...NO SURPRISE. I don't think this something the public needed to be informed about only the victims. What people should not want is police department positions filled just to say they are filled. It is hard to find qualified, level-headed people already. I believe the increase in the "police-state" feeling is due to filling positions with unqualified people. It is also connected to an overabundance of paperwork and laws that prevent people from doing their jobs. It's a societal problem and is not unique to this police force. We have to get the root cause rather than finger pointing.
Exactly this issue is everywhere but police chiefs like him and departments like him continue to further the problem instead of fixing the issue and they have enough resources they just choose not put it toward the problem. They love buying new equipment and cars but don’t fix the issues at hand. Yet as taxpayers we continue to fund them even if they don’t address our needs.
Hey Uston is the Chicago of Tejas, hopefully our culture here doesn't get like those decrepit cities up north keep Texas Tejano, like it was intended to be, viva tejas!🎉
Art Acevedo left in March 2021, Acevedo was also caught up about this in Austin, Texas. Many people in Austin, Texas sued. Both were under Art Acevedo’s watch not Chief Troy.
@@vinny06299This is all under investigation right now. Acevedo was served in Colorado about 3 weeks ago, for this and the botched raid. That’s why Troy couldn’t say much. And for your information I lick no one’s boots just stating facts. Most liberals don’t like it. 💥
@@vinny06299it may not have changed the facts, which we all still do not know, but the facts are HPD does not have the man power and there has also been several police officers that have died doing their job. No one wants to do the work or is qualified. I’m sure more information will come out, but personally, I don’t blame the Chief. He’s only 1 person and he can only do so much. He’s been good, and I believe his heart is for the good. Just my thoughts.
@gloryb1001 He is equally to blame. 4000 cases is unacceptable and he's known for 3 years. He's only being up front about the issue after it was revealed by someone else. Unacceptable.
Finner needs to be replaced. He should have left with Turner. I believe his responses to the legitimate questions Mario asked resonate "previous administration". Clean house!
If Houston Police department is not actively investigating thousands of sexual abuse cases, then what exactly are they doing? Sadly though this doesn't surprise me because I remember from my time in Houston how ineffective HPD really was.
I couldn't listen to this narcissist flapping his lips. You just know everything going to be a lie. You just know the perpetrators and offenders are going to escalate their crimes because they been getting away with what they been doing. 😢
Ok he is accountable for all these 2000 cases not solved , and all these perpetrators still out there, where is jistice for them,just another big mouth gaining a good paycheck. Disgraceful
A guy putting his hand on your butt who gave you a job where they're paying you 10 times more than what you're really worth and allowing you to live another Day by hiring you and letting you work there's what most of the world calls "life in the big city.". To prosecute your boss for that is bizarre, I say get over it... I worked in the fast food restaurants starting at age 10 before they demanded all these social security cards and verifications and a lot of bosses like to crack dirty jokes here and there, might get a little handsy... The dirty jokes helped relieve the tension...if you're a snowflake where every rare, sporadic touch enrages you then maybe be self- employed all alone in your garage or something.
Duuude! 🤨🤦♀ Chief Finner, your attitude towards the question came off REALLY like a skipper; as a woman and a survivor I see the blood run from your face. ANSWER the questions!! Trust is hard to get back and hope you NEVER have to find yourself on the end of grief because a loved one is a victim that gets forgotten in the system.
Man black people been looking real responsible lately in these high positions, thanks guys making Malcom and Martin proud with your diligence and honesty
BY ADDING INVESTIGATORS DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING IF THEY ARE BEING FIRED FOR CONDUCT UNBECOMING OF A OFFICER AND HR DO NOT RE HIRE SO WHO WILL HANDLE MURDER AND ROBBERY CASES
Lack of personnel ?!!! It's called defunding the police and using "lack of personnel"as an excuse. Finner is now without excuse, as so is ex-Mayor Turner!
He should be fired and dealt with accordingly!!! there should be an internal investigation with in the whole department!!! Because if he and his employees covered this up what else are they covering up, why is he allowed to remain an officer of the law??? They need to be defunded all it takes is one bad apple folks one!!!
He did mention a code in the HPD/Investigator system that was being used but was an invalid code to use on cases. Some cases are coded incorrectly, I am assuming. I honestly think the department needs help. Hiring another separate team for these types of issues/cases are idea.
Thank you Mario Diaz for asking the questions residents want to know.
He is about to lose his job. Not only was he hiding information but act like he's mad that he's questioned about it. People have a right to know
💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He will hook up with Fanni Willis
Learned from the best
He is not taking responsibility for covering up his behavior. He's full of himself, proud and arrogant. When questioned, he evaded the subject. What kind of example is he setting for his peers??

I agree. Over 4000 assaults at that.
Are they getting the DNA kab kits processed?
Unless it's in the movie saw. Or my bedroom, hehe 😜
@@bridgetmcgiggles4528yeah the Kab kits are known to have kdna
@@bridgetmcgiggles4528no
Fire him. No sympathy here. If his mother was in these ladies' situations, he would be mad, or maybe not. Power has gotten to his head.
More officers worked the pride parade than SA cases.
well to these leftys, the agenda comes first, besides I'd love to see the SA cases he did investigate, bet they were the same color as him. this is just typical 13%r behavior when they get some power. always leads to corruption, neglect of duty and all around fVckupedness,
Now THAT'S sad.
He needs to go. He failed the community and it resulted in more victims.
So, the HPD chief is investigating himself as to why he didn't take action on halted cases? Huh???
That part
The man in the mirror
😂😂😂😂these ppl crazy
Yup, nothing to see here, folks.
Chief buckwheat😮
These guys who have made it to the highest ranks of law enforcement are careerists who usually began their climb to the top after only a couple of years on the street. They never develop a sympathy for victims. This guy has probably never even handled a SA case.
He speaks of himself in the third person. That is strange. Maybe it is a sign of a dissociation he has toward his responsibility.
It is. In another video he states he's not responsible for every single person in the department. No leader would try to shift the blame. They would own up to their team's failure and do better. He then says we aren't making this personal yet he is taking it personally.
You nailed it.
Yess!! Someone finally said it.
Great observation. Typical narcissistic he is
He needs to be FIRED!!!
This is what no fear of consequences looks like
He is not answering the questions. He is above the law. He acts and sounds like KJP at the White House: dodging questions and getting angry.
He needs to be fired effective immediately.
He's about to get his pension, move on, and never be heard from again. He's part of the fraternity.
He should be fired immediately! Over 2000 unprocessed rape kits. These represent humans that were abused! Shame on him!
Fire Turner's buddy?
They also represent serial offenders free to prey on more victims. Processing backlogged kits has also found murderers' DNA.
Don't blame Troy Finner. This stuff has been going on ever since Acevedo been commissioner.
He never should have been put in the position
The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them.
Well stated.
This is what happen when leadership blindly fill the spots to meet quota with unqualified personnel. What a diagrace
Let's not act like YT aren't included on that quota and aren't out here doing a poor job. What has Kim Ogg been doing?
It’s not about filling quota , it’s about the system as a whole . This police chief has works in that department for 34 years yet never once felt compelled to address it .

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he has committed a crime under the umbrella of sexual harassment or sexual assault.
This chief dodges the tough questions. I think he needs a burger flipping job.
nothing is going to change.
Fire him ASAP
HE NEEDS TO RESIGN
betting $100 that after all this, these tyrants still aren't going to do their jobs and continue to waste taxpayer's dollars.
Well, that’s probably it for you chief.
