Austin 'at the brink of disaster' as police shortages hit crisis level: 'God help us all'

[Hollie]

Coming as no surprise, what the left touches, turns to disaster.

As a result of a 'victory' of sorts for the retrograde left, defunding the police was trendy and pushed hard by leftists. It was all fun and games to be trendy until the results force a confrontation with reality.

Austin 'at the brink of disaster' as police shortages hit crisis level: 'God help us all'

Austin, Texas residents weigh on on the ongoing police shortage in the city following the department being defunded in 2020, leaving the city with longer response times.

A portion of the Texas city was left without a single police officer for a couple of hours in February

​

Fraternal Order of Police Vice President Joe Gamaldi said council members who voted to defund the police, including now-U.S. House Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, don't "give a damn about the people in Austin."




Yeah. Trendy.

Another demoquack fail.

It goes on and on and on

Funny how you could literally predict all of this, and yet the Left continues on their inane lemming like journey straight off the proverbial cliff.

When there is no order .. chaos pursues.

Where there is Democrat hegemony, there is invariably chaos.

Perhaps they can hire some of the "newcomers" that are staying in Texas? Just try to avoid the cartel members if possible.

Man **** da police they racist.

I have long heard that Austin is very "liberal" because of a university located there.

So I am guessing that when Americans hear about the horrible crime there, they lack any sympathy for those "liberals."

They made their bed; now lie in it.

That 2020 Tweet is outstanding. It perfectly illustrates the failure of left wing policies.

These are dumb ass communists.

Yes, and thanks for saying "liberals" in quotes.

As a former Democrat they finally revealed themselves in 2020 to be entirely illiberal through and through.

And that's putting it very nicely.

Austin is beautiful.

Good for them. This is what they wanted

Do you not understand that a Ruling Elite lauding over high crime, poverty and misery ARE THE END GOALS of the democrat party???

There seems to be a peculiar confluence of leftist ideology and societal decline.

Homelessness, drug use, people wandering naked along 6th street….Austin, Tx.

6th street is the main entertainment strip in Austin…just full of squalor.

Austin….come for the music and comedy, stay for the meth and REI COOP TENTS!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

And the democrat Party retains power only because they are allowed to cheat at election time
