Austin defunding the police backfire

[MacDaddy67]

Police will no longer respond to burglaries, car break ins, stolen items, etc.....

Only to life threatening emergencies.....

Utopia must be nice

Don’t think it’s a back fire at all… it’s what these idiots want since they hire their own security in most cases….

It has zero to do with the China Flu. “Chief Chicken” is nothing more than a puppet with no stones. And I mean never had a set - I went to Academy with him. The City Council caused this and over the last few years folks have left. Not just retired just left. Almost every specialized unit - motors, highway,DWI, etc have been disbanded and sent back to street. Still have shifts with half the spots vacant. Thank the Liberal voters, City Council, and now acting balless Chief

While I know Austin is pretty liberal, this really shocks me. Do they not see what is happening in other cities?

Put a high fence around that city and let em eat each other.

... and to likely arrest those who dared defend themselves against burglaries, car break ins, stolen items, etc.....

Its pathetic, can't wait to see what crime looks like in 6 months. Can you imagine how embolden the criminals will be, knowing as soon as they take off APD won't respond? I'm just waiting for the bleed over to start here, I'm sure its coming. I'm sure the TC DA is literally giddy watching all of this unfold. The radical libs have no shame and the idiots keep voting these creatures into office. I think I read the other day that Austin just had its 60th homicide for the year. Those are unheard of numbers.

The people pushing for this need to see that their stupid actions have consequences. Sucks for the cannon fodder (lower classes) stuck in the middle of this more than the rest. Not to say that all people of all walks of life wont be affected negatively by this. There are criminals out there right now getting ready to start home invasions knowing the cops arent coming. If I lived in Austin I would have a loaded firearm in every room of the house that is of course until I am done packing and moving to a more rural setting.

Good deal for for sheeple in that dump. Get what they voted for!
