Defund the police Harder!
___________________________
They’re trying as hard as they can. Austin defunded so many APD cops that the Texas Department of Public Safety had to assist.
DPS has now been told to go to hell. So there’s that.
Chicago of the southwest
Like that
I thought that the social workers who replaced the police were supposed to have stopped crime.
Yo..black folks in Austin, Chicago, Baltimore, wherever listen up, just send us an email when y’all have had enough.
“Austin suffers 3 homicides in 24 hours as city council blames cop union for being understaffed”
“Austin mayor blocks state police help for understaffed PD in move that caves to ‘defund’ activists: critics”
Austin just shows that it’s Democrat/Communist ideology that destroys cities —any city — not just “major cities” with a specific demographic.
6 dead in 5 incidents. May they rest in peace.
No mention of how many rounds were fired.
Chicago usually says something like 40 shots fired with 1 dead and 1 wounded expected to recover.
RE: Chicago of the southwest
Now that is insulting to Austin. Deserved? Maybe. But still triggering:
