AUSTIN (KXAN) — Coming off her Senate District 14 victory, former Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt said the Texas Legislature has an opportunity to “right wrongs” in regard to racial inequality and called the recent death of a Black Lives Matter protester in Austin an “epic failure” of leadership and policy.
Garrett Foster, 28, was shot multiple times after a car turned into a group of demonstrators at Black Lives Matter protest in Austin on July 25. Police said that Foster was carrying an AK-47 type firearm when the car turned into the roadway and approached the driver’s side window as other demonstrators “began striking the vehicle.”
The driver of that car who turned into the crowd told police they had fired a handgun at someone who approached their driver-side window and pointed an assault-type weapon at them. APD has not indicated that Foster ever fired his weapon.

If they had performed one of their basic functions, which is to allow freedom of travel on the public right of way, there never would have been a shooting.
Instead, they pandered to the Left wing nuts, and one of them got killed acting stupidly.
Almost certainly, that is *not* what the Democrat means.
She is very careful *not* to give any particulars of what she means.
