Here in Austin we have three factors that are contributing to the explosive growth in crime
1. Not enough police to enforce the law
2. A progressive DA who refuses to prosecute because he believes that personal responsibility and accountability are racist
3 Progressive judges who refuse to hold criminals accountable because of “equity”

And remember, the national issue at hand is “White Supremacy”, no matter what statistics and common sense tell you.

[alternatives?]

Their needs to be vagilities groups to set up a sting operations around some ATM machines.

[kaktuskid]

Time to turn control over to the Texas Rangers.

[butlerweave]

Austin = Little California

[Lockbox]

Does that work for White men who happen to self ID as black at the time they used their carry weapon to protect themselves?

[MrRelevant]

I read delightful story about how the progressives who left Cali for Austin are not happy with their choice...lol.

Imagine that... you put in place the same policies and you get the same results...

So, I guess, arm yourself, defend yourself, take pictures of the dead of silence, and email them to the police, go home and have a beer.

The Austin PD should put it this way:

If you voted to defund the Police - Don’t call us.
If you voted for Biden - Don’t call us.
If you voted for Beto - Don’t call us.
If you were at a BLM riot - Don’t call us.

All other call will be responded to.

[null and void]

Please don’t call 9-1-1, call 8-1-1.
You’ll need to know where it’s safe to dig...

[DeplorablePaul]

It would be huge if Gov Abbot declared martial law and took over Austin. Clearly Austin is in a doom loop.

[Paladin2]

Form local Committees of Vigilance.

The price of Freedom?

Eternal Vigilance.

[I want the USA back]

Austin is “progressive.” That means anyone who earns money honestly can expect it to be taken by crime or taxes.

[tomkat]

provide as much information as possible so we can recover your property quickly and safely

.. he said, barely suppressing his laughter.

[ssfromla]

No problem man. I’ll call the coroner. Problem solved.

[PapaBear3625]

What would happen if the police announced that they will not investigate plausible self-defense actions, not arrest any person defending himself against a criminal, regardless of what the DA or judges demand?

[T.B. Yoits]

[eyeamok]

Sounds like Los Angeles, here the LAPD puts up signs telling you to hide in the closet if someone breaks in...so it’s easier to find your body

From the comments of the NY Post:

Here is Austin’s 2024 budget top two items:

$87.2 million in planned capital spending for the Housing Department’s housing development assistance programs, aimed at creating or preserving deeply affordable housing.

$80.9 million in homelessness response efforts.

Here is allocation for policing:

$2.6 million for police cadet recruitment incentives.

Anyone see a problem? They are a welfare city not a city for citizen services.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I would add a fourth item: 4. Austin is being overrun by ne’er-do-wells both foreign and domestic.

Nice of them to send a big GO signal to all criminals.
