Wow, this is hugh and series.
Many big blue city police departments are feeling the wrath and aftermath of the defund the police crowd.

I’m in favor of defunding police. I’d like there to be no laws. Let citizens do what they think they ought to do. I don’t think the bad guys would like it.

Eventually you run out of “other people’s money”
SF, Portland, Seattle, Austin and Minneapolis have all been run by liberals since forever.
They will be the first to run out of “other people’s money”

"George Floyd's killing overdose by a Minneapolis cop himself and the resulting Black Lives Matter riots led to widespread demonization of police forces across the US."

That was the powder keg but there were many incidents before that one. America is divided. Etc.

This will give Austin a chance to hire a black woman whose most recent police experience was running the HR Dept, in order to emulate other cities, such as Washington.

Austin devolving into another failure compliments of the democrats...I should say the communists.

If the electoral college is destroyed (after Dem victory in 2024) there will be no reason to do anything good for any red states (flyover country).
They can then be taxed to pay for the excesses of the urbanized blue regions elsewhere, mainly the two coasts. Special taxes charged to them only (with the 19 member Supreme Court upholding the inequality with Hillary Clinton writing the majority opinion).

People get what they vote for. Blue cities are disaster areas in this country right now.

Every local government has the plenary authority to buy as much policing as they choose.
Or not.
Seems a majority of Austin voters wanted a budget cut.

Who needs police? Just hire private security guards like rich liberals and democrat politicians do.

This will give Austin a chance to hire a black woman This. Nearly all the big city police departments and Mayor offices are run by fat, grotesque Shaniquas now.
