This is pretty confusing to me. It seems that just after the city council votes, Abbott sent 30 state troopers there.
Our DPS has statewide jurisdiction so they can patrol anywhere within the state of Texas — including Austin.
However, what the Austin city council has done is to remove any coordinated partnership between APD and the DPS.
So in essence they have broke the lines of communication that would allow those 2 agencies to work hand-in-hand.
I’m so glad I dont live in that cesspool. As it is, we live 60 miles away which is still too close.
