Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

Be careful what you vote for.

Why ask for God’s *help* to fix a problem you deliberately created?
He gave you brains. USE THEM!
Fix it yourself by doing the right thing.
In the meantime, since Texas has great gun and self-defense laws, it would behoove the populace to be ready to handle issues on their own and let the chips fall where they may. Maybe if the criminal element experiences some attrition instead of being rewarded for their criminal behavior, it would stop or at least slow way down.
At the very least, it could cut into the recidivism rate.

My brother lives down there and I can’t understand for the life of me why. A rural Kansas farm boy living in that cesspool. I think I’d got nuts in two days. Much prefer living out here on the farm, nearest neighbor is a half mile away.

You need to de-fund the police more, Austin.
Indeed they do.

The next bet would be if the governor would be willing to bail them out for their bad judgment by sending in the state police. Odds would favor them stewing in their own juices.Abbott done did that.
Gov. Greg Abbott sends more state police to patrol Austin after city leaders call for end to partnership
