Well done, City Council. Victims families should sue each of them individually.
How is that "Defund the Police" thingy going?
Last time I was doing overnight security at a government building, the nearby section 8 apartment complex literally had an EMS and Police vehicle there full time, they even blocked off both roads had SWAT, MRAPs and a semitruck hauling a command center behind it.
That was just one damn apartment complex.
Austin is a lost cause, thank the Demonrats.
It's almost like defunding and demonizing your police department was bad idea?
Austin used to be safe
Difficult to hire new police staff in an environment where cops are insulted and distrusted by council and the da, where they will be accused and found guilty in spite of the facts, not to mention a police academy curriculum totally woke.
Open borders its gonna get worse
Hire more Police.
Nobody wants to do the job I hear?
Ain’t none coming.
I’ll do it for 520,000$ a year but no nights weekends and I ain’t going to go hands on ever. I’ll just observe and report my finding ms to the city council 😂
Someone I work with was followed home by two hispanic gang/cartel members and was shot at by both of them as soon as he got out of his car in his driveway.
Almost 2 years later police haven't found either of them, they said it was suspected gang initiation as the area is known to law enforcement to be a hotbed for mexican cartel and hispanic gang activity.
He survived the shooting by pure luck, one to his back, one grazed his skull the other went through his cheeks and shot some of his teeth out but he's made a full recovery.
Where was this in Austin?
Promoting people to move to Austin years ago destroyed our city!!
Try having less cops.
WHY DO COPS GET TO UNIONIZE WHILE WE IGNORE THE TEACHERS HELPING TO RAISE OUR CHILDREN????
Teachers are not supposed to raise children, that is the responsibility of parents.
You need to raise your own children!
