“I believe citizens have a legal, constitutional right to record and film police officers in the line of duty. I don’t see anything wrong with the public recording,” activist Quanell X said. “I believe no decent police officer has anything to be afraid of. I believe the rogue cops who like to beat, kick and stomp people may have a whole lot to worry about.”

Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland responded by saying “This rhetoric can give someone a free pass to try to assault a police officer or kill a police officer, and I’m not going to allow that,” he said. “My officers should be able to go out here and work in the neighborhoods and keep this city safe without fear and without hesitation.”

“I certainly think there has been some piling on lately, and it’s unfair to the other 5,300 [police officers in Houston],” he said. “I don’t want to give anyone a free pass to assault a police officer. And I don’t want to give the police officer a free pass to overreact.”

“I hope Chief Charles McClelland recognizes that what his officers are now complaining about is a fear many of the citizens of Houston have lived with for decades,…And while it may be true that the vast majority of the 5,300 HPD officers do not brutalize citizens, far too many are complicit because they sit silently by with full knowledge of those who do brutalize citizens.”, said Pastor D.Z. Cofield, president of the NAACP Houston branch
