..... When you called, we came. When you were being victimized, we stepped in and stopped it. When you were on your last breath, we gave you another and another. As many as it took to keep you alive. We held your child and loved on them when they were scared. We comforted you when your loved ones passed. We put our lives in harms way when the wolf came for you. When you ran from gunfire, we ran towards it. When you sat trapped in your car, we held your hand until the rescue crew could cut you out. We bought you lunch when others walked by and did nothing. We brought justice to your family when someone was taken from you. We gave you a voice when you had none. We stepped in when you couldn’t protect yourself. We saved your son’s, daughter’s, husband’s, aunt’s, brother’s, and sister’s.
The day came when we needed your help, but you never showed. When we asked you to stand up and give us a voice, you remained silent. When we were at our lowest, you offered no help. When we were being attacked, you watched from afar. When the time came for you to fight for us, you stayed home and kept silent. (To those who didn’t, thank you.)
The Austin Police Department has been almost completely defunded. There is barely enough to pay for our salary, medical care, and retirement. Now, when the wolf puts a bomb at your doorstep, we won’t be there. When a drunk driver kills your family member, we won’t be there. When your family member is drowning at the lake, we won’t be there. When someone crashes into your car, we won’t be there. When gangs take over your neighborhood, we won’t be there. When you’re assaulted on one of the many trails, we won’t be there. When you’re child is lost, we won’t be there to find them.
We won’t be there because your Austin City Council has shut down almost every unit needed to keep you safe and be there for you. They took everything from you while you sat in silence. They did it for their own personal gain and agenda. They won’t be there for you and made sure we couldn’t either.
In fairness, this sort of thing is just beyond the beyond of anyone's ability to understand how a city council can betray the people so badly. They are still in the shock and denial stage. It will take a while to sink in.
Maybe the police should have arrested those city council members for treason and abandoning their sworn duty.
If they all had 4am FBI raids on their homes and computers, there's no doubt there would be emails from the likes of Soros or whoever their handlers are, telling them what to do and say.
They'll just complain about what a hellhole it has become and move to another town just to vote in a city council that will defund the police department again.
Even if they do, and things get better for the police department, the officers wont forget what their city did to them. It will be impossible to backfill those leaving or retiring, because no one in their right mind will want a job where employees are treated the way Austin PD has been. Morale and enforcement activity won’t recover back up to where it was before. That city is going to hurt for a LONG time before things could even begin to turn around.
There are traitor police chiefs that are so far left you can't believe it. Art Acevedo was chief when I lived there and hes half a commie. I think he's moved on but he's an excellent case in point. This is so sad.
And when the cops fine and arrest people for not wearing a mask? And go along with shutting down parks? Or enforce local/municipal unconstitutional 2A edicts? Or enforce red flag laws?
Police are the praetorian guard of the political and elites. They'll happily put a boot on your neck for a paycheck.
+We stayed in our cars each night to ensure you weren't speeding. We wrote friendly reminder if you went a little too fast. We kindly asked for payment that we used to fund our retirement. We even followed you to make sure you're weren't drunk and followed all the rule of the road, even if we didn't. We searched your cars for the drugs your weren't purpose to have. And if we did, we took them for our own use and gave you a place to stay for the night. Or weekend. And this is how you thank us?
Honestly the people of Austin deserve it. They've prided themselves for years for being the most Left leaning city in Texas. Now they can suffer all the consequences that come with it. They say a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged. Well there's about to be a lot of muggings, so maybe a good portion of those lefty lunatics will learn how wrong they are. Sometimes the only way to make a lesson really stick is to suffer through it at least once. You can know the stove is hot, but you have to be that dumb kid at least once in your life who touches it before you know it's hot. Austin is about to touch the stove, let's see if the lesson takes.
They could go arrest the mayor or the city council right now for aiding and abetting the rioting.
Personally I would like to see a lot of police arresting their own city or state leaders for siding with the rioters or enforcing draconian lockdowns and mask orders. The Michigan State Police should arrest the Gov Whitless right now. That sort of action is the only way they're going to get the message.
Why do so many people here insist on overgeneralizing the people of an entire city? And why are they always upvoted?
Did it ever occur to you that not every single person living here voted for this shit? It’s like how liberals overgeneralize all cops as bad - Fuck off
The radical left council and mayor of Norman, OK, tried this shit too. Almost all were just recalled. Hopefully Austin citizens will have a flash of intelligence and realize public safety has nothing to do with Republican or Democrat and get the commie city government recalled.
Only 2 council members. Those 2 council members and the Mayor had recall petitions submitted against them, but they still have to verify the signatures in order to hold a vote. I hope it happens.
When gangs and criminals take over the city, maybe, the regular folks will wake up and do something about this. They should be asking... Where will the funds they take from the police go exactly?
Feel Free to "Contact" and voice your Concerns..... To the Austin City Council ! Scroll half way down thru the page to the picture Identities and also provided is a connect via Email for each member of the council. ====> http://www.austintexas.gov/government
No Prob! Always willing to help with Anything I can do to support the Blue Line, Law and Order, TEXAS RANGERS, CBP, DHS, ICE, Sherfifs, Military ect.. Have a great weekend!
No, that's about the size of it. Austin PD is one of the most ineffectual and poorly run police departments in the country. They posture a lot; they write a lot of tickets; but Texas Rangers they aren't. Granted, they were made so by the liberal government elected into power by liberal idiots that infest Austin and day by day turn it from a "pleasant oddity" into a full-on shithole.
You could give Austin PD a trillion dollars and it would do exactly jack shit for the crime and disorder in the city. It's all about leadership and the people who call the shots. The City Council is full of Mexicans who are jizzing their pants at the thought of destroying Texas (reconquista, putas!) and brain-dead liberals who hate cops and love thugs.
Until the city wakes the fuck up and kicks every one of the bastards out, no amount of money given or taken from the police will change things.
I wish these police officers in these cities would fucking DO SOMETHING.
Trump told them to resist. There's only so much the citizenry can do for Soros puppets. Look at the gigantic gathering in Seattle! It didn't make a damn of a difference. The council didn't care - they did what their black mailers told them.
The police need to be charging and arresting these officials. Charge and arrest the judges then charge and arrest the city council.
Fuck, send in the feds to do it.
But you know what pisses me off most about police?
That they will go ahead and enforce some retarded mask, shut down your business, etc mandate and then bitch when citizens let them lose their jobs.
We are marching towards RoboCops and it's everyone's fault. But especially the people who have sworn to defend and protect. Maybe if they'd have refused to enforce these crooked orders, the people would have stood behind them. Maybe if they would have started arresting some of these officials, Trump could stand behind them.
But no. All they do is blindly follow orders and bitch
Austin orders them to stand down and let faggoty terrorists destroy their city and they obeyed, and then the cops be like “yo citizens, you left us on our own reeeee”
It's like most cities. You can live in the area but still live in based communities. I live just north of Austin in a based community. Sure, there's a few liberals and Karens here and there, but every block in my area has American flags lining the street on days like the 4th. Just avoid the Austin city limits and I'd even avoid Travis County.
I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, not having police is stupid. They do serve a purpose. On the other most of them are so self righteous and full of themselves. They stick together and do shady shit for their “brothers”, and the whole militarization of the police/red flag bullshit/no knock raids, etc is wrong. It’s been years in the making from the top down, building their insulated culture as “persecuted heroes”. Now they all (cities and police) are going to reap the whirlwind. These cities are screwed.
The people of Austin are going to have to form security squads because when the BLMs realize that there are no police they are going to come in to keep the pickings.
Up vote this comment to keep at the top.

Hopefully they'll vote in a new conservative city council in November.

They see it as free money at the expense of citizen's safety. They are taking $150 million and spending it on a social justice wish list.
There are traitor police chiefs that are so far left you can't believe it. Art Acevedo was chief when I lived there and hes half a commie. I think he's moved on but he's an excellent case in point. This is so sad.
Didn't Acevedo move to Houston to take the PD chief job there?
That's it! Thanks!
Yeah, from California, where he was an unliked Chief at CHP.
Someone would have to dig through all the cheese pizza to find them no doubt.
They made sure to arrest those pesky business owners trying to operate their business or those troublesome mothers taking kids to the park
keep voting for democrats Idiots
And when the cops fine and arrest people for not wearing a mask? And go along with shutting down parks? Or enforce local/municipal unconstitutional 2A edicts? Or enforce red flag laws?

"We even kick down your doors at 5 am, shoot your dogs, and steal all your guns because your neighbor Red Flagged you. And this is how you repay us?"
Dont forget civil asset forfeiture.
Gotta love them no knock raids too. Protecting and serving like a motherfucker

These city officials won’t pay a price. The people that vote for these morons love this shit. STL just re-elected Kim Gardner for fuck sake.
And then the people who elected her again sold there homes and fled to nearby states to vote and see the same thing again.
When gangs and criminals take over the city, maybe, the regular folks will wake up and do something about this. They should be asking... Where will the funds they take from the police go exactly?

Wow interesting take. I guess if the cops are just as liberal as the city council, maybe they should have seen it coming.
I wish these police officers in these cities would fucking DO SOMETHING.

Been thinking about moving out of Commiefornia to Texas... Austin is not on my shortlist.

Round Rock has been one of the places I’ve been looking into, but if I pull the trigger I suspect I’ll land in DFW.
Do it. Get out while you still can.
Makes me weep.
The Democrats have turned into a suicide cult

What is going to happen to Austin now?
The people of Austin are going to have to form security squads because when the BLMs realize that there are no police they are going to come in to keep the pickings.
Nice letter, pussy. Do something, anything. Take up arms and do something worthwhile like stopping blm then I will be there to support you
