They did this Saturday and then again last night in Austin. The video you posted is Barton Springs/Lamar. LE is choked out by politicians and upper admin of dept. This is what majority of Austin’s voters want or they would vote differently. LE has zero in their corner - Mayor- City Council- and City Manager (who was just fired for not being progressive enough) are all anti-police.

And you read "But the simple fact is that we need more police officers in this city, patrolling our streets, downtown, and major events. We need more police responding to calls for service. We need more police to reinstate specialized units"
They may need more but they all know dang good and well that's not the problem.
Side note - Austin has been following those other liberal cities for ever. Just 5-10 years behind. Nothing new. Same as America is always +/- 10 years behind EU. Nearly everything we complain about started their first

Walker- big difference now is this was groups from other areas coming to Austin because they know there is no enforcement or punishment. The City Council just walked away from negotiations last week- Austin is down 100s of Officers now and many more will drop paper this week. Shifts of 12 many only have 4 Officers total- now factor in sick and vacation time. Voters are getting what they wanted.
What you won’t see is there were guys in masks walking around with long guns in that crowd and most of the was masking. Also a Travis Co Deputy was actually surrounded and they attempted to eject him from unit- Thankfully he was able to get out of thereLast edited by glen; 02-20-2023, 08:55 AM.

She voted to defund police 2 years ago and is one of the main ones walking away from negotiations. She's creating this mess and having to suffer for her decisions.
