Nobody showing up for a thankless job where your life is on the line - always.
Next year, 2022, is the year of Soylent Green.
Silver lining: Austin residents came out in droves to vote out homeless encampments. I have a feeling they’d be in support of police now too.
Happening in leftist cities all over. Last night the Seattle chief said he could respond to 911 calls or protect jurors at the county court house. But he does not have enough officers to do both.
Gods upset with this nation...lawlessness will increase.
they'll just yank-em out of the white areas...
If I could be blunt, you’d have to be a mental case to want to be a cop nowadays. Of course, some people can’t get enough abuse and seem to thrive on pain, misery and working for leftist misfits.
“I think the Austin police were defunded just as it’s most racially diverse cadet class was graduating “
That is correct.
Why would a Peoples’ Republic need ANY PoPo in their Utopia?
It’s a lot more than just defunding the cops.
It’s about 2 generations of pajama boys and boys that do nothing but play video games. Neither are capable of that job.
They did vote them out but they’re slow going........I was there recently and the tent cities were very visible
They even get garbage pickup
That's suare up as the trial backlog goes away. Protect the jurors, then when the trial run out he can defund even more police.
No arrests, no indictments, no trials - great cost saving, get rid of the judges too.
But that’s just it.
They hate the cops. But need them. But want them to do the job the way they want. Not the way the cops need to.
It’s just like am that creature on a city council, Minneapolis I think, that voted to defund the police but called 911 after getting into an argument with an Uber driver.
Can’t have it both ways
Unless you enjoy being a bad cop, flying monkey sort. You know, do the bidding of your liberal overlords. some people, psychopaths especially, gravitate to position of power. Cop is a position of power. It's a fraternity where the good ones don't rat out the bad ones - snitches get stitches.
Canceled cadet class would have been Austin Police Department’s most diverse group ever, APA says

............having a daughter, a son, a grandson and countless friends inside the Austin City Limits this article is not funny to me.....
I think the State of Texas should declare Travis County the Capitol District and just take over Travis County government and the Austin Police Department. Liberals have irreparably cancerized both!
Reading the article, I see that perps can now steal cars, drive them drunk, while running traffic lights.
Why?
Considering that the Austin police picks favorites and does not defend innocent people or arrest the guilty why should they support them?
There is no shortage of that flying monkey type of person.
