LumRaiderFan Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up From the article: Austin, Texas, leaders are cutting ties with state police who were supplementing the understaffed local department despite crime reduction – in a move critics said cowered to liberal activists. Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, a Democrat, announced on Wednesday that the city is suspending a partnership with the Texas Department of Safety, when officers responded to emergency calls to assist the defunded and understaffed Austin Police Department. Watson had praised the partnership two days earlier and explained that crime and response times had gone down as a result – but in announcing the split, he said the partnership does not adhere to "Austin’s values." Austin's values, smh. Violent crime was down 28% because of this partnership but apparently that gets pushed aside for Austin's values.

tvc184 Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Can you imagine what the officers think? Officer: Dispatcher, I need a backup unit now. Dispatcher: Sorry officer, the only backup officer available and nearby is a DPS trooper but the mayor doesn’t like them so you are on your own. God be with you….
