Texas cops refused to send escort to Biden bus

10. Here in Austin, police are refusing to respond to property crimes in residential neighborhoods.

They’re trying to stir up fear of crime so voters will support Prop A, which requires the city to fund thousands of new police officers with a formula that mandates two police officers for every thousand people in the city. If passed, it will force the city to spend millions more on the police while also forcing them to seriously cut other public services like mental health services, park maintenance, fire prevention, etc. Most other public groups, like the Fire Department, have come out against Prop A, but its Republican proponents have heavily pushed their claims about increased crime in Austin and of course have not mentioned that crime is up in most major cities. Republicans here don’t what happens to anyone but them.
