Isn't this getting interesting...
Mod: Sorry ‘bout the author’s name paste error (bleary-eyed and didn’t catch my copy didn’t take).
Author’s name: Alex Greig
Why is he apologizing? Given what we’ve seen other cops do in arrests, he’s right.
A little truth slips out from the chief of police. oops

Hey you jaywalk in NYC, you might just be its mayor.
She has cry baby written all over her.
She can count her lucky stars that she did not have anything resembling a weapon or dog. The donut disposal machines may have shot her or the dog.
I am somewhat familiar with Austin. After watching the Y-tube version of the episode it appears that this 24-year old brat was deprived of never having her butt spanked when skrieking in public as a two-year old. In some areas of the City where retarded “university” students congregate, jay walking can create a real traffic problem.
A suggestion — Engage brain before spontaneously ranting about peace officers! Just a thought from Texas.
He said the police are sexually assaulting people in other cities ‘so I thank God that this is what passes for a controversy in Austin’
What ever happened to “To Protect and To Serve”? Beefing up police patrols to crack down on jaywalkers? Seriously? Insanity.
And by the way, the young female jogger should send a note of thanks to the police chief thanking him for his cops not sexually assaulting her. Citizens of Austin should thank the chief for catching another evil jaywalker. Insanity.
I feel safer now that J-walking is prohibited in Austin.
This police chief should have kept his mouth shut because he is obviously an idiot. A spokesgal should have done the PR instead
I’m always impressed when people manage to say something that insults and offends all sides in a controversy.
I mean that takes talent.
Wasn’t it Austin abuut two weeks ago where a gang of black guys attacked three hippie dudes in front of a police station for about twenty minutes? I’m pretty sure that one went national.
I bet some of those guys illegally ran across the street to kick in their unconcious victims heads. Where were the four cops then?
Maybe Arturo’s statement was actually just a muddled translation from Espanol........ Yeah, that’s the ticket.
He and his force should all resign. Forget the walk backs. This is getting ridiculous
Ironic - a true statement which is heartening except for the fact that he was trying to use it to say that it’s OK for his cops to be lawbreaking yo-yos because some cops are doing much worse. Kind of like me saying it’s OK for me to rob and beat my neighbor because the next town over has someone who is also killing his victims and burning the house down with their kids inside.
Lucky it wasn’t some old guy in NYC that got the crap beat out of him by cops for jaywalking.
