Austin PD response time: 1 hour
9mm response time: 1150 feet per second
Class dismissed!
That's the sort of comment that would impressed me when I as in my early teens.
When you only have seconds, the police are just minutes away.
Only beta-males call police. Real men defend themselves. pussies.
I would swear Louis responded to this about how you can carry in TX and now the comment is gone. I hope it was Louis who deleted it and not CZcams.
@@Felice_Enellen Of course CZcams is censoring... look at how they are censoring Project Veritas and Pfizer. CZcams is a VERY evil corporation.
Hours*
Hours away. In some places they simply won't come. Some places don't even answer 911 any more.
In times like these, you might as well be your own first responder.
Should be anyway. People are responsible for their own safety. Why would you trust the government with your life. Getting our soldiers killed all the time
@@stevenrose4610 💯
This is Texas, we don’t call the cops until we run out of ammo
I'm glad to know I'll be getting Austin news content from you now, Louis. The theory being passed around on Reddit is that our police are performing a work slowdown in hopes of securing more funding. I don't know if that's the case, but either way there's a bill on the ballot in May that would expand citizen oversight of police. There's also another bill the police union put up that probably wouldn't be as helpful.
You live in Texas. Buy a rifle and fix the problem yourself
Many police are at ends with the DAs that have been recently elected with massive campaign funding from George. These DAs routinely decline prosecution in cases that absolutely need to be prosecuted. In turn the police are being overcome by the "why bother" attitude. See Gascon, Ogg, etc.
@@bannedmann4469 Of all the Texas-like places in Texas, Austin is the least like them.
Yep exactly. See my other reaponse about how they are really just a gang that decides when and if they want to do stuff...
City council member: "We just need police support."
DUDE, YOU EMPLOY AND CONTROL THE POLICE.
A wise friend once pointed out government Policy and Police are almost spelled the same. Always understand they are linked.
In the cases DeShaney vs. Winnebago and Town of Castle Rock vs. Gonzales, the supreme court has ruled that police agencies are not obligated to provide protection of citizens. In other words, police are well within their rights to pick and choose when to intervene to protect the lives and property of others - even when a threat is apparent.
So what LAW would a council member be "enforcing" under the color of law ????
How many Felonies could one be charged with - acting under the color of law :-)
Austin city council was also one of the pioneers in the defund the police movement. Which meant that a lot of police officers either took early retirement or quit and moved to police departments in Williamson county.
@@FJamison1
Here is a fun fact : *you take federal funds , you play by feds rules* ..
HINT: ur in a MILITARY STATE ...
*Lieber code tells ya in international laws of w4r* ..
Oh the rabbit hole of corruption runs deep !!
@@FJamison1 This! Was looking for someone to say this but fortunately didn't have to look too far.
I have no idea what you're talking about in NYC, I own a restaurant in Brooklyn and the past two weeks we had to call the police because someone was causing a disturbance and threatening everyone. The first time the NYPD took an hour and a half, the second time? Two and a half freaking hours!!!
Maybe it changed. I left in 2021. They were fast back then.
Unfortunately 1-2 hours response time for any cities is common nowadays resources are being stretched so thin. I had a gun pointed at me by a guy that blocked my car in right as I was getting in it and it took them about an hour to show up to take my report
Defund the police working wonders especially since a lot of the police officers are leaving New York for Florida since they actually want them there.
South Africa police shows up after 3 weeks to take finger print after you were murdered already……
Next time put on Lord of the Rings in the background, it’ll make the wait less unbearable
Austin grows so fast that they just focus on the shiny bits and ignore the old decaying bits.
Austin is run by low-IQ liberals. That's the cancer that Austin has.
As you mentioned, Texas is 2A friendly and a stand your ground state. If you haven't already, you should consider a USCCA Conceal Carry class. They're very informative and help in making the right decisions during self defense and the legal issues that pop up after.
Get up to Dallas or maybe even Waco. You can buy anything you'd need.
@@Ring0-- He can in Georgetown or Round Rock. Also some pawn shops in Austin itself.
Solution to worthless policing shouldn’t be to be your own police
@@cat-.- I don't believe in outsourcing personal security. When average response time to a crisis is minutes; every second counts. Living in 2A friendly states allows us a chance to out-live the average "cavalry" response time.
While I think that Texas approach is insanely horrible, because killing people isn't for everyone, improper use of a firearm is more likely to get anyone but the target killed, crazies now suddenly are armed, and there are actual nutjobs using stand your ground laws to commit and get away with nothing less than murder.
Yet it's because of these very same reasons that I fully support Foul News' suggestion to get armed and educated on the practical, technical, legal, and moral aspects of using a firearm.
I still can't believe you fled NYC and picked Austin. 😄
Make sense. Liberals use Mac mac's are in Austin Austin is liberals. The circle of Life
There was a job here
@@rossmanngroup I grew up right over the CT/NY border minutes from the city (and still have family there). Had you come here a few years ago you would have seen how much nicer it was here. Once the Covid thing hit, it turned into a dump, but at least you can carry guns here :) You need to since they defunded the police here like idiots.
A man's gonna do what a man's gonna do. New York politics... that can't be fixed!
So he moved to somewhere he is treated... better!✨👍
@@rossmanngroup Yeah. We live in FL mostly because we need the cash flow. Lots of crime & homelessness here too, it was much better when we 1st moved here in the 90s. But lately I've noticed that the homeless are more often the victims of crime vs the perps. Lots of homeless near us are veterans.
Crazy folks are EVERYWHERE now, and they're only getting crazier. At least in TX & FL we can choose to defend ourselves if we have to. Just be sure to know the laws in your state! 👍🏼
I missed quite a few videos, and this is the first time I've heard you say you moved to the Austin area. Welcome to Texas Louis, please don't take the insanity that takes place in Austin proper as a sign that you chose the wrong area to move to. I agree that the vast majority of homeless aren't bad people, as I used to be homeless myself, in the Austin area I might add. I still go there on the weekends for work as an UBER driver, mainly because the small town I live in is horrible for UBER.
A lot of people don't understand that the only thing separating them from being homeless themselves is one paycheck, and that once homeless, it's a royal nightmare to get out of that situation. Yes, some of the homeless are out there because of drug and alcohol problems, but a surprisingly large number of them want nothing more than to be treated like a person, get a job, and go on with their lives. Unfortunately, the world we live in makes that almost impossible to achieve.
For those that don't understand what I'm talking about, let me give you a situation to illustrate my point. Let's say you're the hiring manager at a fast food restaurant, and you have two people put in an application on the same day. Applicant number one is a college graduate, but has no phone number, no address, and no reliable transportation. Applicant number two is a high school dropout, has a phone number, has an address, and can easily take the bus to work every day. Now tell me honestly, which one do you hire? I already know the answer to that question, and I can tell you exactly why you chose it. You chose applicant two, because you have a way to contact them, know that they have a way of doing laundry so that they can wear clean clothes to work, and can reasonably assume they'll show up when they're scheduled to work.
The world is so heavily stacked against against a homeless person getting their life on track that it isn't funny. You think the vast majority of them want to be treated like garbage day in and day out? That guy on the corner offering to clean your windshield in your car for a dollar? Chances are he's just trying to come up with enough money to be able to get through his day without being hungry, maybe even buy himself a pack of smokes or a hotel room for the night so he can clean himself up. Don't want to give him cash for fear he's going to buy drugs? Go down the road and pick up a couple of items off the dollar menu at McDonalds, then go back and give it to him. I can almost promise you'll see a smile cross his face as he thanks you.
I don't have poor planning and life skills so no, "one paycheck" would not make me homeless. I could be jobless for over 36 months straight with my savings and not change my current lifestyle whatsoever. The overwhelming majority, nearing 100% of homeless either don't belong in this country in the first place, are strung out drug addicts, mentally ill, or all of the above. There are innumerable programs at my expense for you to fix yourself. Failure to fix yourself, I'm always down for bigger prisons.
It's probably roughly the ratio of people who have an anti-social personality disorder (ASPD, i.e. psychopathy, sociopathy) to those who don't. Statistically, it's about 1% psychopaths and 3-4% sociopaths. So about 1 in 20 people have no moral compass. It might be a little different in the homeless community, since there's such a prevalence of drug abuse and drugs can turn off bits of your brain or make you so desperate for more that you ignore your moral convictions, but I bet it at least tracks similarly.
@@Channel-gz9hm Living paycheck to paycheck is not about planning or life skills, its about wages being too low to do otherwise.
@@Channel-gz9hm How empathetic of you. There are many reasons why someone doesn't have that.
@@alexatkin Stop lying, poor planning and financial skills is absolutely a part of that.
Where I live it's crazy to think the police could even come close to being as fast as an hour, and I live fairly close to society.
Some nearby places are so understaffed you have like 3 police officers patrolling an area the size of Connecticut.
Police are not there to protect you. Read the supreme court rulings. But, if you fail to pay taxes, police will come to incarcerate you.
People dont want to be cops because of the blm acab stuff
sounds awesome!
I grew up in rural Central Washington and my father was friends with the sheriff. He made the remark one time that we have five people on duty across the county that's probably 100 miles on a side.
If you were say out in the sticks you couldn't get a deputy for a long time, particularly if there was something else going on at the time, but they would try to give you an officer from another jurisdiction even if it was further away.
I thought everyone and his dog was packed in that state.
This is why MORE Americans should arm themselves. When seconds count the cops are minutes away.
I couldn't agree more sir. 👍👍👍
Which just means the crazies have guns too!
@@NusaCat crazies are gonna acquire guns regardless.
If guns help against crime, then USA must have the lowest crime rates in the world, while countries like Poland must be lawless wastelands, ruled by roaming gangs, because population is too unarmed to defend themselves. Right?
that's why the police are lackadaisical ie get the shop owner to sort the issue out themselves
The community who lives under 71 (across from the home depot) are the 2nd most problematic in Austin, and have pretty much gutted that area. The stores have 100% of stuff behind glass etc. The City council is extremely strategic about the areas they gentrify (based on how much residential tax they get). East Austin where there are new houses they keep these people in line. Under 71 there's no tax base so they let it go. The only place worse is ARCH - 5th and red river where people get shot for crack debt every week.
Austin is full of liberals. They love to exploit race to create more chaos and havoc that benefits their pockets. Look at California and New York. Austin is "little San Francisco". They selectively apply the law on purpose. Meanwhile, look at how much money Austin is spending on "woke" programs. Different people pay different amount for certain things in Austin.
I’ve been traveling to TX for work regularly the past decade. I e only had my truck broken into once and it was in Austin. I used to stay by the airport just off 71. The last time I did was a year ago, and notice the morning my truck was burglarized, that there was a large encampment in the wooded area behind the hotel.
I stay in Buda now.
In my home town it took half an hour for the police to show up to a gas station after it got robbed. The weird thing about it is the gas station and police station are next door neighbors.
I'm happy to hear that you have an understanding of how these government services work, and people's situations in general.
Thank you.
I got hit by a pickup truck 10 years ago in Northeast Queens. Took hours for the police to arrive. It really depends on how you phrase it when you call them. A lot of people don't know that.
Key words to ensure rapid police response: hoodie, black, firearm, gang tattoos. Don't let any truth around these words matter.
@Louis Rossmann You have no idea. Been living in S Austin for a few years now, and businesses get robbed left and right all the time. The city cut the police force numbers by a bit, but it doesn't excuse the fact that my entire neighborhood is full of drunk drivers and car robberies.
Still better than when they refused to come up and help us in N Austin when homeless people kept breaking into our apartments.
Broken windows policing works, and the fact that APD lets the small crimes go entirely unpunished is what leads to these larger problems.
Nothing makes you in favour of the 2nd amendment more than being 2 hours away from the nearest police station.
Hey Louis, San Antonio resident here. Austin is known to be a popular destination for those fleeing from heavily blue states, but they seem to have brought their politics with them. Police in Austin are not funded well or even respected, and vagrants are allowed to do as they please with no repercussions.
A pleasure to here this man talk. Thanks for continuing to post your thoughts.
When you call, just tell the Democrat run city police that you'll take care of it via 12 gauge and that you're basically calling them to advise them you'll need a cleanup team at that address to take the body away. They'll show up in under 5 minutes.
Thye'll show up ... to arrest you
I love Texas. I moved here from MA in 2017, and never looked back. That doesn't mean there aren't problems and room for improvement. We just have to make sure we tackle them in a way that doesn't destroy what has made this state so great.
I live in Houston and travel to Austin frequently but could never live there. I have friends who were forced to sell their home because the cops won’t respond to calls relating to homeless, even if they’re violent.
Your friends were supposed to remove them from society.
@@willallen7757 E.g. Houston Taqueria
@@dmc3489 yup, dude is lucky the perp didnt see him telegraph pulling it so bad, but I applaud his efforts to save America.
@@willallen7757 Perp had a toy gun
@@dmc3489 Im aware, he still deserved to die. He had already stole their wallets. I'm sick of people acting like crime is ok.
I live so far away from the Sheriff's Department in my county it would take over a hour to get to my house. Only have had a need to call them 2 times in 14 years. They know me by my name but the last time I called them the sheriff told me that I could take care of the problem myself if I needed too just call back and he would take care of me and the paperwork.
Where I used to live, we got the sheriff called because of a dispute over dogs on our property fighting with our dogs and idiots waving guns at each other. The sheriff showed up and told us "Look, if their dog enters your property, shoot it, because I'm not coming back. If I have to come back, you both are going to jail because we don't have time for this shit."
Louis, I saw you respond to the comment that says, "When you only have seconds, the police are just minutes away." You said something about being allowed to defend yourself in TX (I'm wording this vaguely on purpose). That response is now gone. For the sake of my mental health re: CZcams, please tell me you're the one who deleted it and not CZcams, because if it was CZcams, that's scary.
I noticed that too. Another comment he had replied to (actually, he had pinned it) that I also wanted to reply to up and disappeared.
I have deleted zero comments in this video
@@rossmanngroup Yikes. That means CZcams is silently deleting stuff about amendment number two.
@@rossmanngroup Starting to feel like there's a Rossmann/Laowhy86 crossover in the future.
@@rossmanngroup Do you remember what you replied to your first pinned comment? The one where the guy basically said not to defend yourself with guns but instead feed and house the crazies? I didn't get a chance to see your reply because the comment had already been deleted.
Most people outside of Austin, don’t consider it real Texas anymore. Culturally, it’s so far away from the Texas experience.
Austin is infested by low-IQ liberals. Little San Francisco.
We considered building the wall around Austin instead of along the Rio Grande.
Even ten years ago when I lived there it wasn't *nearly* this bad and so much of a hellhole.
When I lived in Louisville, KY, the ambulance was always there 45 minutes before the cops. Recalling a snow day where the radio publicly announced that if you're in an accident, exchange information and GO HOME. Even though my commute was 10 miles each morning, there always seemed to be at least 3x probably fatal accidents on the way to work.
we don't like taxes in Texas. police are obviously just a waste of money. just buy 20 guns and do it yourself!
Homeless people should be given homes as a temporary solution, but they just become more and more and they aren't trying to solve the underlying problem. In the end, it would be unsustainable.
Awesome, Im glad to see the texas chapter of your channel has begun. Keep up the great work 👍
"Beginning September 1, 2021, HB1927 made it legal in Texas for most people 21 or over to carry a handgun in a holster without a permit both openly and/or concealed. "
I suggest they start using the rights they have.
Take your safety into your own hands these days.
(A) Defund the Police (B) Take away all the guns (C) Complain!
Its quite the blackpill seeing more and more places in America go down this path.
Austin sadly in many places has the worse of both NYC AND California combined... At least a big difference between Texas and NY is Castle Law, and no duty to retreat at the state level. See the difference between the NYC bodega stabbing, and the Houston Taqueria shooting.
Thats nothing! I had a similar experience over here in Australia around a decade ago one Saturday night at my house. I called the police and was informed there were only two police on duty that night, and they were currently in another town an hour away and wouldnt be able to get back for at least another 2hrs. We had our government take all our weapons from us back in the 90's, so we are completely reliant on the government now for protection from the crazies (and you better not try to take them on yourself, or the government will imprison you). The police knocked on my door TWO F*CKING DAYS LATER to apologise, then informed me there was nothing they could do. Like I hadnt already figure that out myself! Learn from Australia, dont ever allow the government to disarm your population.
Thank Reagan for cutting mental hospital funding. Society decided it was cheaper to just throw them all out on the street and then let a few politicians pat themselves on the back for cutting the budget. Probably cheaper to bring them back rather than having the world's most incarcerated people per Capita.
My company was ACROSS the street from a major APD station and every time the alarm went off over a 6yr period I still beat them to the office (usually after being woken up at 3am by a call from the alarm company and one time I even beat them on foot because the streets were closed for ME BUT NOT THEM for some parade festival or race happening the FOLLOWING day). Funny thing is, the alarm company and city has the audacity to CHARGE for monitoring and dispatch... why the ---- should I pay taxes for police (that show up long after the crime) and then extra dispatch fees (when I'm the one responding) and then another EXTRA monthly "monitoring" fee to BOTH police and the alarm company. The police are actually incapable of responding faster than domino's to break-ins and shootings LITERALLY ACROSS THE STREET from a station that's 24/7 SURROUNDED BY DRUG DEALERS and actual meth-head street prostitution occurring in the alley one building over from the same station. That's a drug deal corner on the side street under a tree with surveillance cameras facing it from the frot steps of the department 100 ft away and a bunch of super aggressive toothless meth heads doing tricks in the alley halfway down the block on the same street... both spots have direct line of site to the front entrance to the station. When we signed the lease and forked over enough money to send the landlord's grandchildren to a few medschools the area was really nice very safe and clean. A number of restaurants were really taking off nearby and business was good... around 2016/17 something changed and things went down hill fast.
One morning I showed up to work and the windows and doors had been shot up... so i call in a SHOOTING that happened ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE DEPARTMENT... no detectives show up to investigate just a rookie patrol officer a few hours later. I ask him what the hell is going on here and he's already jaded and regretting joining the force. He says every time he arrests the dealers pimps or hustlers infesting the area they piss and crap in his car. Then he processes them and later that day a judge sets them free with little or no bond and they're back on the street that evening and are almost never even charged let alone prosecuted. The hassle of having to clean human waste of of your car and staying late to fill out paperwork for arrests that don't result in charges is simply It’s not worth it and gets in the way of generating revenue... APD the DA and judges needs to get their s--- together. Ultimately that rookie cop blamed the judges and prosecutors office for decay of the downtown area Austin that took root in 2017-2019 and basically turned the area into CA... because the people who fled the COMPLETE MISMANAGEMENT of their state brought their insane worldviews with them and continued vote for the same policies and types of judges and politicians that took the unimaginable prosperity of Silicon Valley and transformed it into the open sewer that is San Francisco in the 2000s... they are a plague of LOCUSTS!
Why do I feel like the police are making quite a bit of money on local businesses.
Speaking as someone who lives just on the wrong side of the Travis - Williamson county line, there is the wise saying "If you shoot somebody in Travis, drag the body over to Williamson."
Spot on! I lived up near 2222 and 360. Williamson Co was always known for tons of DUI arrests. But that's the law at work. It's similar to Montgomery County and Fort Bend County being the areas of "law and order" bordering Harris County
God bless 2A
Let's just address the elephant in the room, shall we? Police, by and large, are NOT INTERESTED in defending innocent people. They never were and never will be. If you defend yourself after being assaulted, you'll get the entire force on your doorstep in under a minute.
that's insane!
I work in south Austin.
APD responding in 30 minutes to over an hour isn't unheard of here now. Ever since the Floyd stuff,they got a massive bount of funding cut I think. I stopped paying attention.
I mean shoot,what was it,2020? I think? On 183 they had a homeless camp burn down and they had to call in hazmat to clean it up due to all the needles.
5th/6th street has homeless camps at the end of them,under the overpasses. Hell,the end of 6th street,near Loop 1/Capitol of TX HWY it looks like an art expo.
Also in Austin. They didn't get a cut but a raise actually. The problem is lack of applicants and delayed cadet class. Additionally since the protests, cops got their feelings hurt and stopped doing their jobs...
@@michalis75 Feelings hurt? When 90% of mainstream media craps all over the cops in relentless fashion over the last three years, it isn't a case of "hurt feelings"...
This is TX, not NY. You can legally ARM and DEFEND yourself. No permit(permission) required. Although Austin is probably the most liberal city in TX.
Someone needs to remind this woman that our lord and savior Samuel Colt made all human beings equal on the threat meter, and her salon is in Texas, a state which allows her to carry religious implements of Colt worship on her hip to ensure that she's never unequal.
The problem is finding officers that aren't occupied sitting in the bushes along MOPAC radaring the great unwashed.
The cops are there to gather evidence. Little else, you need to defend yourself. Difference in culture
"Keep Austin Weird" was a welcome call for all the crazies. Looks like you jumped out of the cast iron frying pan into a teflon coated skillet.
Austin/Texas constitutional carry is highly encouraged. Especially if it takes an hour for the police to arrive.
People picking up a pole out of the ground and threatening to assault someone in multiple ways have a mental problem. They have unreasonable expectations about the world around them and inadequate coping methods for dealing with things that don't go the way they want. Potentially also a serious inadequacy of impulse control. These are likely solvable problems in most cases, but housing isn't necessarily part of that solution. Healthcare in this country has always been treated as optional, and urban sprawl has killed the sense of community almost everywhere, so that's two ways where such people likely could get help if things were different.
I live in a large city of 3M people. My condo building is beside a small playground that has a path way to a train station. I found a small duffle bag full of drugs. A LOT of drugs. My guess is someone was being chased and dropped it. I call the police and tell them what I found. They told me it could be a while for a car to show up.
A police car shows up about 4 1/2 hours later. The officer looks inside the duffle bag and says: "My God!" (Again, it was a LOT of drugs.)
I said the only reason I stayed there for all of that time was because there was a kids playground. The officer took a small statement from me, thanked me and said I did the right thing, then he shook my hand and left.
Unlike in the movies, the police are often not in a hurry to solve a crime.
I've got an issue with a wire connector and I'm not able to identify the connector/identify how to fix this issue. How can I get in contact with your, or a forum (ask eletricians and ask engineers on reddit has resulted in no responses) that would help me to solve this issue? (The connector got crushed but its 4 wires)
One thing to remember: the rest of Texas calls the Austin area "Little California"
I know this isn't what your used to in TX but the law is actually ok with you defending yourself, your family and property here. I suggest you apply for your 2a.
So happy I live in Switzerland - Feel very safe, even if we rarely see police patrolling in our villages. And ... we don't need to carry guns.
The Beauty of TX is that you can take care of the problem and then call the clean up crew. You should do a video at the range one day, if you have Colin Noir on speed dial tell him to tag along, he’ll bring his tractor trailer full of his arsenal with him
Texas isn't quite the wild Wild West you portray - A grand jury is deciding the fate of an armed citizen who ventilated a robber in a Houston taqueria. May parts of Texas are very liberal - Beto "Give me your guns"
@@dmc3489 well many parts in Texas that aren’t liberal and are ran by sheriffs, he’s the one that decides. If you look into the sheriff of Polk county in Florida he is the one who decides if the self defense was justified. As a matter in fact he encourages his citizens to be armed and use deadly force if your life is in danger. Look of sheriff Judd Grady awesome sheriff
@@kchilz32 The sheriff is a factor, but the decision is not his alone to make. Only the DA has the power to assemble a grand jury for a felony indictment. Obviously you need some LEO support to build a case, but that could be a city PD and not the sheriff's office. I'm a FL/TX resident and applaud Grady for his hard work. Of course, small towns and big cities have different dynamics, but at the end of the day, a DA is the only one who can call for a grand jury indictment
I live in Oakland CA. Yesterday my neighbor's car was stolen. He drove around the area looking for his vehicle, and sure enough he saw it at a gas station, and considered following the guy. He called the police, and they said that they won't come if there is someone in the car!!! So this is even worse than Austin!
It takes an hour for APD to respond in other areas because they're parked along North Lamar waiting for something to happen in The Villas at Walnut Creek or the surrounding slums.
Can't wait for this channel to change to a travel living blog, move to a new state every year see what shit hits the fan locally:D
"Here you're allowed to have a gun" - Yeah, but so are those with mental health problems, so it doesn't seem like a solution to me. If anything, it seems to me like it would make things worse in those kinds of situations
The Supreme Court states that the police are not obligated to protect anyone from harm !
you can thank the organization CLEAT for allowing APD to continue conducting themselves with such benevolence
You see the difference where nonsense is and is NOT tolerated. A little further north the nonsense is tolerated less and society is marked more polite. In Wilco somebody would have stopped the gentlemen from approaching the store in such a manner. Next county up, or west, the fool would not have pulled the pole up.
Manners.
Where people have manners and are polite, law enforcement response time is not relevant. Ambulance response is.
Meanwhile Dutch police: "You guys actually show up?"
I live in one of the most unfriendly states for gun owners (Maryland). I know for a fact if I have to use deadly force to defend myself in my home I may be charged with a crime. But as the saying goes "it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by six."
Massachusetts is the same. All these lib states love the criminals
"When seconds matter, we're only minutes away!"
-Every police department ever
Get armed. Get training. Difference between New York and Texas is you are allowed to take care of yourself!
UNLESS YOU JAYWALK! THEN YOU'RE SLAMMED!
Yeah, have a firearm and know how to use it so it doesn't get taken from you. Do not rely on police to save you.
"here you are allowed to have a gun" - so is the crazy homeless person...

The police aren't slow, they're giving you time to exercise your right to self defense...
Another reason why many people in TX carry a sidearm.
Your fear is straight excuse to be harmful to people who have nothing else and no one else.
That’s just Austin. Where I live in TX cops show up within 5-10 mins. Some people broke into a house in my neighborhood and 6 cops cars showed up and caught them in the act.
Welcome to Austin! Georgetown is my neck of the woods, but I’m in Austin damn near 80% of the week lol.
Police: When seconds matter, the police are minut... err... hours away!
I know of nineteen kids & two teachers who could tell you a truly horrifying story about the police taking over an hour to do their jobs.
At least they would if they weren't dead.
Something you're going to find out, part of the reason the cops are that way in Texas is because too many people worship them and will make excuse after excuse for their bad behavior and screw ups.
They always say the same thing:
"Police have a tough thankless job blah blah blah I support the police"
I wouldn't be too complacent in Williamson county either. People I worked with in the oilpatch from there told me numerous time the cops were lazy & corrupt.
Just look up the cases of Rachel Cooke & Michael Morton.
Forgot to add what a coworker, who used to be Dallas PD told me all the way back in 2005. The reason he quit the DPD and went to work in the oilpatch was that too many of his fellow officers at the time only became cops because they wanted to shoot someone and knew as cops that they would get away with it.
Sounds about right. A lot of the commenters here seem to be naturally conditioned to think that police HAVE to be ineffective (i.e. the whole "when seconds count, help is minutes away" thought-terminator). The reality is that most local law enforcement agencies are beset by decades of organizational rot. Chronic underfunding has led to reductions in standards, because they can pay violent assholes in a license to kill rather than dollars. When they do wind up getting the LEA in hot water, the cops are quietly shuffled to other towns and new reject cops from other LEAs get hired to replace them. There's even an internal term for this: "gypsy cops" (not my term, yes I know it's kinda shitty to use).
@@SuperSmashDolls A Gypsy Cop, and good ole fashioned racism led to the Tulia 46 scandal up in the panhandle.
I hear you about Williamson County versus Travis County. We did the same when we lived there for four years.
I saw this coming when I worked for Travis County. The city council ties the hands of the cops and honestly, the homeless addicts are out of control.
In DFW area there are so many options for the homeless and can be housed within two weeks.
I've been responding to other comments suggesting that it might be like Seattle, where the cops are told by the city council/mayor not to touch the homeless people because it's bad optics for their next election cycle. Is that actually the case there in Austin?
@@Felice_Enellen Umm, yes.
@Felice that could be, but also many of those on the Austin city council are socialists who capitalize on the chaos allowing these types of behaviors to continue.
Hey Nunna, did you delete your reply to me, or did youtube? I can see it in my notifications but it's not visible here.
@@Felice_Enellen I still see it.
this is not uncommon in big texas cities.. unless it is a life threatening situation.... cops take their sweet time, and situations like this with homless they try to avoid like the plague due to fear of media publicity and public scrutiny :( (i'm in NW houston)
Oh... son of a. Didn't realized that. Fellow Houstonian here...
Houston's DA is one of George's puppets. The City Judge as well. Our mayor isn't, but equally as crappy. Thank god, Houston has some great residents and didn't get caught up in the chaos of the last few years. Remember when Art was down at the parade pandering to the crowd... Art came from ATX, via CA and didn't last a few weeks in Miami. POS that guy
I’m a former Texas resident. During my time there (this is my own opinion based on my experience). I liked the Dallas area way more then I liked the Austin area. I hated the way the officials of Austin ran that city. I was in Travis county when I lived there. But when I made a move to the las Colinas area of Dallas what a difference. I’m actually considering possibly moving back to Texas and if my future ends up there I’ll be on the Dallas Fort Worth area far from Austin. I loved it living in las colinas it was a great city! If cops where called they responds in 5 minutes or less and it just felt better overall.
Austin police expect Texas' best know super hero, Good Guy with a Gun, to pick up the slack.
So... Smal government or big? Right to wear arms, anyone?
Never apologize for speaking the truth to your public servants, people should make it their life's mission to, (in no uncertain terms) harass The person who's job it is to make sure that business owners are safe to do business in the county and the city.
"Keep Austin Unsafe, Ya'll"
Dang, in Austin too? Just like what happened here (Portland Oregon) after the psycho homeless, ex-prisoners and drug zombies were forced out of downtown and they set up camps in the woods around my "up-scale" area.
Did you forget the police do not have to help you ! Arm yourself and take your safety Into your own hands
Hey Louis glad your resettled. I have a friend who has an apple desktop. He just updated it with the Monterey update and now it won't even turn on. Apple has stated they do not support 8byear old devices. Yet it worked fine till the update...
I hope to see you around Louis,

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Don't you get it!?!?!? Donuts don't eat themselves.
Police are everywhere in NYC.
Police don't care much of anywhere else.
it's important to be where you're more safe.
You don't need a licence to conceal carry in Texas.
Don't they have guns?
That was my IMMEDIATE thought
In Austin, probably not.
Austin has been hit pretty hard by the defund the police thing. This is an expected result, so I can only conclude the powers that be are fine with it. I would maybe remember that when it comes time to vote.
And this is why you buy a gun.
I guess that Gun Shops and Shooting Ranges in Austin never have to deal with this type of behavior - I wonder why? 🤨
Louis, welcome to Texas - get your CCW.
It shouldn't be upto the police to find homes for the homesless people, it should the churches and the government.
We have this issue in Sydney Australia. We also have too many empty churches.
Vancouver BC Police will put you on hold when you call 9-1-1. Only once you get an operator, the clock starts on dispatch times.
