Austin Police WON'T Arrest People Only For Immigration Status (would hurt trusting relationship..)

Please, don't give me the police are spread to thin argument. You even said yourself, that San Antonio PD is becoming more militarized!!!

I was surprised, to be honest. Austin PD has been becoming more and more militarized as it is.

I never said anything about the San Antonio PD, I have no idea where you got that from. I was talking about Austin, and that the PD claims they need a few hundred more cops.

Ok tex, I got the wrong city. However, you clearly stated in you're post #98 that *Austin* PD was becoming more militarized. And now, Austin PD claims they need hundreds more cops.

My question is: Since the Austin PD is becoming more militarized, yet they refuse or threaten to refuse to inforce immigration laws or arrest illegal aliens, what is the focus of this militarized police force in Austin?

It seems to me if they refuse to arrest criminal illegal aliens, the focus of this militarization must be directed towards American citizens in Texas.

Do you see something wrong with this picture?
