The cops were to busy making out with each other to bother.

The antifart aholes should have been shot.

And what exactly did all the police at police HQ do while this was going on? If the answer is "absolutely nothing", why?

When I ask why the police did nothing, several replied,

“Because...Austin”.

Someone once put up a city map showing not only white, black, & hispanic quarters in Austin, but gay, lesbian, and trans neighborhoods as well. Seems all is not unicorns & rainbows with those last three. Dykes hate trannies & that’s putting it mildly.

The crowd size is irrelevant. The time has come for President Trump to take the shackles off of the American people. We stand hear waiting for him to solve these problems we see all around us.

With see how are police are being treated, how our country is disrespected, how our kids are indoctrinated, how workers are abused by globalists, how immigrants are just more slave labor, how blacks empower their oppressors, and how fear is used to manipulate our country.

We want to see the National Guard federalized, these rioters put on notice they will be dealt with violently if they continue. We want our police to be respected well trained and worthy of respect. We want our country to be acknowledged for its virtues as well as recognizing its vices. We want American companies held accountable for empowering China and supporting rioters by being made liable for damages they commit.

We want propaganda removed from our schools and made safe and agenda free. We want democrats held accountable for how they run inner cities. We want to stop the abuse of illegal aliens with making it a crime with jail time if they pay any person below minimum wage legal or illegal.

We want hope not fear optimism not gloom. Bring in a new bread of reporters into the press room abandon the television reporters and move to internet reporters that are fair. We need a leader who will lay it all out with us to counter this assault on our county. And if after fighting the good fight and still fail then there will be no regrets and we will prepare for the consequences for the future.

It’d be interesting to know how many of them were the beloved “Dreamers”. Wish we could find that out....

Excellent idea. Early in the Trump administration there were a few questions asked during White House press conferences by people from around the country via Skype. I don’t know what happened to that, probably the White House press corps squashed that endeavor. It’s time to completely end the in-house White House press corps. They don’t ask any questions the answers to which would be helpful to the American people Their questions are just attempts to attack the president.

austin is very liberal. The rioters know they have nothing to fear from the police.

I’m sure Mayor Addled will get right on it - ordering police to vacate the building so the protestors can burn it undisturbed.

I’m surprised they didn’t run up the Mexican flag in its place.

Austin police have had 50+ officers retire so far this year.
That is not helping the situation either.

Sounds like free speech. Right?

Not arson, or vandalism, or destruction of city/government property...
