Austin Police Chief:
Cops are actually committing sexual assaults on duty so I thank God that this is what passes for a controversy in Austin, Texas.

Isn't this getting interesting...
When I visit my daughter at her college, I’d say 70% of the kids who approach an intersection will walk through if it is clear, whether they have a walk sign or not.
I know I cross the street when it is clear, and ignore the stupid walk signs. We have way too many laws to protect stupid people.

The residents of this particular area have been complaining to Austin PD for some time about bicyclists and pedestrians ignoring the rules and creating hazards. Pedestrians are narrowly missed almost every day in this same area, primarily due to darting out from between parked cars without looking at traffic. Austin PD was responding to citizen complaints and had just finished a week of cracking down on cyclist behavior and now were working on pedestrian behavior. This woman jaywalked right in front of two APD officers who had already pulled someone aside for the same offense. When they asked her to stop, she either did not hear them or ignored them. When one of the officers put his hand on her shoulder to get her attention, she became very abusive and refused to even give her name. Should this have progressed to an arrest? Maybe, maybe not, but from what I have seen of the full video and the report, this young woman really had herself to blame.
