Gov. Greg Abbott called for a gang crackdown in Houston on Wednesday following the death of Jazmine Barnes and Chief Art Acevedo agrees, saying he would like to do so with federal funds now being used to combat the "border surge.”

“The crisis is not at the border,” Acevedo said, referring to President Donald Trump’s televised address Tuesday night when he proposed a $5.7 billion border security plan, which included his sought-after border wall.

“It’s on the streets of our cities,” Acevedo said at a press conference.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

It certainly fits in this case!
