Family pursues new legal front against police defunding after son slain in Texas gang shootout

Relatives of Douglas Kantor to sue Austin, Texas, claiming politicians can’t be immune from the ‘intentional’ act of defunding.

By John Solomon Updated: August 4, 2021 - 10:58pm

FTA
A New York family whose son was accidentally gunned down at a Texas bar during a street gang shooting is opening a new legal assault against the movement to defund police, preparing a lawsuit accusing the city of Austin of causing his death through the “intentional and solely political” act of cutting money for the local police gang unit.

Lawyers for the mother and surviving relatives of Douglas Kantor, 25, filed notice this week with the city of Austin about their intent to sue under Texas law, a move that if successful could lead to more legal challenges in other jurisdictions where police funding has been cut and violence has risen.

“Publicly available information proves that this incident began when two rival gangs of teenagers from Killeen, Texas deliberately drove to 6th street in Austin to engage in a fight,” the notice states, recounting the tragedy. “After a long period of public argument De’Ondre White pulled out a gun and fired, hitting, among others, Douglas who was an innocent bystander.”

Ordinarily government officials are afforded legal immunity for the policy decisions they make, even if they are negligent.

But the legal notice from Kantor’s family clearly signals a plan to argue against that immunity, claiming city officials intentionally took overtly political action by cutting police funding and should be held accountable for the predictable outcome.

“The incident was a foreseeable result of the Mayor and the City council of Austin’s intentional and solely politically motivated decision to defund the police and/or to dissolve the Austin Police Department’s anti-gang unit,” the notice states.

“Only GOD’S mercy and intervention will save America.”

Yes, that is so clear now. There is so much evil being perpetrated, and there’s only so much patriots can do now.
