Austin 'at the brink of disaster' as police shortages hit crisis level: 'God help us all'
Austin, Texas residents are expressing outrage over police staffing shortages and longer 911-call response times in the aftermath of the city council's vote to defund the department in 2020.
In February, a section of the city was notably left without a single police officer for a few hours on a Saturday due to the ongoing shortages.
Austin Police Association President Michael Bullock, who called attention to the vacancy on X, told Fox News Digital that a steady decline in public safety has put the city on the "brink of disaster."

Wait, let me get this straight. They’re getting exactly what they asked for, yet they’re worried and freaked out now?

Dallas is in a similar situation.
The top 75% make $73,700 per year
In the face of an enduring hiring crisis, the Dallas Police Department’s recruiting and retention goals in 2023 boil down to a simple message: 300 cops in, and far fewer out.
Their ambitions come as the department — with about 3,077 sworn officers — attempts to make up for recruiting and retention setbacks of the last year. DPD recruited 200 officers the last fiscal year, short of their goal of 250. They expected to lose 205 officers to attrition. Instead, about 236 left.

Keep Austin weird, right?

You can't always get what you want...but they did. The idea was better than the reality.

Everything the Left touches turns to complete shite. The only thing that surprises me is that more people haven’t figured it out by now.

Texas needs to address this. Rising crime in addition to out of control property taxes are going to make people move to safer states with friendlier property tax rates.

I only go there to see the bat(shites) at the bridge. You plant okra, you get okra.

It’s comical that something like that sounded so amazing on paper and it was such a “proud” thing to get behind.
When the reality actually hits that criminals will take over without officers, it’s amazing how it suddenly becomes an emergency

Honest question - what outcomes were these people expecting?

Since schools and universities are now brainwashing farms, there is a steady new crop of the indoctrinated to keep their policies in place.
So for every one who "figures it out" there are 10 more new ones to take their place.

I think Oklahoma and Arkansas are and to reap some benefits from this.

Can’t imagine being a cop for DPD when you can go to Frisco/McKinney/Prosper where they appreciate you
