Motorists driving into Austin, Texas are now greeted by series of billboards warning: 'Austin Police Defunded, Enter At Your Own Risk!'
The signs have been placed at the entrances to the city by the Texas Municipal Police Association.
It came after Austin's City Council voted to cut the police budget by $150 million - about 34 per cent of its current total.

Seems reasonable. I’ll certainly avoid it as well as a lot of democrat controlled cities for the near future.
KY cities are fine. I carry in my car and they have liberal self defense laws.
1. Any Texas city that defunds its police can no longer raise property taxes and the current tax rate becomes frozen.
2. Any Texas city that defunds its police will forever lose their annexation powers, & any areas and any residents that have ever been annexed by that city in the past will have the power to dis-annex them from the city.
These two proposals will hurt cities like Austin hard, financially.
Our Governor is not holding back. He has put these liberal enclaves on notice.
If they defund the police, the State of Texas will remove these cities annexing powers. Then the annexed portions will be able to address the State for supplied LE and the bill goes back to these liberal shitholes.
He is not going to stand for what has been happening in other parts of the country and allow the citizenry void of protection by these liberal hypocrites.
He is asking for the silent majority to stand up and sign the “back the blue” pledge
Beat me by 27 seconds. I watched the entire news conference and his demeanor was telling
Warning: Criminals in your mirror may be closer than they appear.
So, we have to look to the UK Daily Mail for this news?
They know the jig is up and I'm just thrilled to see this in motion. Now if Abbott would just open the state up and get rid if the mask nonsense....
Maybe the Austin city council will try to outlaw such billboards!
They can send some of the laid off cops to enforce it...
Beyond stupid
He’s also proposing to move APD under TXDPS! That’s be another ‘nice to have’.
Can they cut off city officials’ credit cards and expense accounts?
Those numbers can be quite astounding.
That would be wonderful. Especially since the Mayor and council just love traveling overseas on taxpayers dime! China (for who knows what) and annual bicycle excursions to the Netherlands.
Yes. Unfortunately. The British press is at least as gutter-crawling as the US press. But they have little in the way of back off on reporting on the USA. We get more honest reporting from the Brit press than ours. Though “honest” may not be the correct term to use.
I wish someone would post this on welcome signs to NYS: Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
That item is revolutionary. It has appeal beyond its ties to police funding.
A great way to bring big cities to heel.
Annnnnnnnnnnd liberals turn another formerly nice city into a dung heap. Law, but those are some stupid, stupid people. They just don’t get it.
Gov Abbott has come up with some great ideas recently for the Texas cities who defund their respective police departments. Ideas that he will propose to the legislature when they reconvene in January.
1. Any Texas city that defunds its police can no longer raise property taxes, and the current tax rate becomes frozen.
2. Any Texas city that defunds its police will forever lose their annexation powers, & any areas and any residents that have ever been annexed by that city in the past will have the power to dis-annex them from the city.
These two proposals will hurt cities like Austin hard, financially.
What are Austin’s property rates, now?
Thanks, I just sent that link to someone, who will find it very interesting.
