I’m sorry but why should a police officer risk his life for a city looking to ruin an officers life. They dare not touch a person, especially one of color for fear of imprisonment. The people need to speak up and stand up for police if they want a police force. Otherwise, like in the times of the Judges in Israel, the people did what was right in their own eyes.. that my friend is alawless country.

From what I’d heard, Austin is to Texas what Boulder is to Colorado.
A hive of useless commies.

Thank you!

Department of Public Safety around here doesn’t remotely equate to the Highway Patrol. LOL.

We begged the president to first start building the wall AROUND Austin. It has become a shameful place...the snowflakes are running the show. Makes me sick.

So much for conservative states not having to worry about violent leftist protesters because “we are armed.” This only happened because the police and Austin citizens ALLOWED it to happen.

It’s the capital of the State of Texas. If we lose Austin, that bodes ill for the state. This should not have happened even in that city.

And what exactly did all the police at police HQ do while this was going on?

If the groveling actions in other departments is any indication, probably kneeling before the “protesters” in subservience.

From what I’d heard, Austin is to Texas what Boulder is to Colorado.

Except that thee days the entire Front Range looks more like Boulder than not while every major city in Texas is becoming more like Austin.

I once asked my VFW Commander, Venus, if she had ever been to a nude beach.
She told me a story about Hippy Hollow in Austin, and some naked guy with golden flowing hair that looked like
Adonis...

I said “Venus, he was gay” LOL

Do you realize how liberal Austin is?
It’s beyond the pale.
They are still in quarantine mode and think they deserve to be.

Of course there are rational God fearing folks there, but the ‘ keep Austin weird’ crowd might outnumber them.
