Severely understaffed, defunded Austin PD on verge of retirement wave after city council 'pulls rug out' again

Austin police officers past and present are warning Fox News Digital that the Texas capital's police force critically depleted as a result of defunding in 2020 is on the verge of losing another wave of officers in response to a breakdown between the city and the police on a new contract.

An Austin Police Department source told Fox News Digital this week that 40 officers have filed their retirement papers following a 9-2 city council vote a few weeks ago to scrap a four-year contract that the city had previously agreed to in principle and instead pursue a 1-year contract that the police union's board has rejected.
It's my opinion that the radicals and activists in the city have such a grip on our elected officials that at some point in time over the last year or so their plans changed.
This is what happens when asshole Democrats are put in charge.

Austin is on it's own, wandering aimlessly in a Mad Max wilderness.

If people won't help themselves and want anarchy, then anarchy they must have.

The city council of Spokane, WA has done the same thing there. It amazes me that they can look at the results of their action over the last 8-10 years and they cannot see that it is them that is the problem. The voters in Spokane are morons with a capital M.

An MO BETTAH?

It's a summary of a line used by Instapundit, hoping progressive citizens get what they vote for, good and hard.

The problem is if by some chance some people kill the elected and unelected Prog extremists, the police will arrest them. We have to know which side the police are on across the nation. One reason why the Feds want to nationalize the cops.

We're totally sunk if this happens.
