Governor Abbott Surges State Resources In Response To Protest Violence
May 31, 2020 | Austin, Texas | Press Release
Governor Greg Abbott today surged substantial statewide resources to cities throughout Texas in response to escalating protest violence. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has also deployed tactical teams to assist state and local law enforcement. The Governor has ordered thousands more troopers to these cities and more than one thousand National Guard to assist the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and local law enforcement in their efforts. These efforts are in addition to the Governor’s actions yesterday when he deployed DPS troopers to Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin and activated the Texas National Guard.
“Texans First Amendment rights are absolute and will always be protected,” said Governor Abbott. “But violence, vandalism, and looting will not be tolerated in this state and those found in violation of the law will be arrested and prosecuted.”
Those arrested will be immediately released on their own recognizance, then their hearings will be cancelled and charges dropped...
That’s much more like it....
Crowd almost totally white.
Showing their Black Power fists.
It is getting very interesting now.
How many other conservative governors will do what the governor of Texas has done.
The blue governors, if they don’t do this will be shredded by President Trump on a regular basis.
I think the cops are a bit more organized today. It’s a wonder they didn’t get hurt yesterday when they had that scuffle.
Austin ANTIFA. They have a big chapter there.
The cops in Minneapolis had the act together last night. It takes a lot of people, but much of these riots can be somewhat quelled.
Blocking interstate 35 in downtown.
