As long as I’m not footing the bill for ‘em, I dont’t care if another agency manages them. But, I prefer that the residents of Austin get what they voted for, and learn their lesson.
Yup, they voted for it just like Portland. Portland disbanded their police gun violence prevention program (too many of those contacted were black) and the homicide rate is over doubled in a month.
Austin and Portland claim sister city status in both being proud that they are weird.
It is generally a troublesome minority that inflicts itself on society, and yes, there are usually many who sympathize with it. But the best attack in this case is to directly fight against the annoying ones by hitting them where it hurts.
In this case, they want no police and anarchy. So give them even more police and judges who are not under the thumb of their worthless local government. Then quickly arrest any troublemakers and ship them away for trial and jail far out of the city.
Of course the local agitators will squeal like stuck pigs, but it will show the local people the value of law and order.
