So did every other state that just stood by, did nothing, and de-funded their police departments. Atleast the city of Austin is doing something about it.
Spoken like a true authoritarian. I'm not a lawbreaker. If you have nothing to hide, I guess you won't mind the police searching you illegally? Oh wait, people have rights ... right? Maybe people don't like abusive police? So you're a lawbreaker if you don't appreciate abusive police? This wouldn't have happened if APD did their jobs correctly. I'm an American who believes in freedom and citizens' rights. But to you, I'm a lawbreaker? How about you move to China or Russia -- you would love it over there. People don't have the same freedom we have here. You should appreciate it more. But instead of blaming the police for screwing up, you blame the citizens' for wanting better policing, like a true authoritarian.
@@punkypinko2965 You're mad because you don't like the police enforcing the law? You think that's taking away from your freedom? If that's your problem, then you should have beef with the politicians, not the Police.
You can't castrate a eunuch. 45 minute call times for 10+ years failed leadership from the top down highest paid in the state. Still complain about cold donuts.
@@deanfirnatine7814 Yes, but they did give in and accept such a stupid decision by the City Council, instead of raising Public Awareness on the implications of what happens when you defund Police Departments (less COPS = MORE CRIME!?!?!? Imagine my SHOCK!) and APD should have threated a strike over it, so they are complicit in Austin's decline as well...;)
@@SogoTX so if you're boss says we have to defund your position you can go scream and yell that it's happening all you want!!!! Doesn't mean anything when they still do it to you!!!! The ones who didn't agree, quit!!! Which is exactly what the Dumocrats want! They only want cops and the military beholding to them!! That's what the coof shot did to the rest of the good cops and military. They quit because they didn't want it. Now we are stuck with yes men that do whatever the government tells them to!!!! You need to wake up!!!
They are just scared because now they will be held to "THE LAW" not all the other bs they have got away with/passed. On top of that, DPS is in the city already. Reap what you sow AUSTIN!!! You'll realize how good you had it haha
Love you mouth artists until it is you by the side of the road getting tazed for having booze on your breath....then it is their fault....heard it from you cop lovers long ago. Cop is a cop is cop....you show them no quarter ever.
The problem with Austin is that the people in California heard the word "libertarian" and thought it meant "liberal" and starting moving there in hoards. Dragging their garbage along with them.
The rule of law must be maintained. If we do not increase law enforcement presence in Austin we will see the city fall into chaos just like we are seeing in Chicago.
We don’t think it might be a BENEFIT that DPS is patrolling more in Austin? There’s a serious human trafficking issue between San Antonio Austin Houston & Dallas. Having DPS around is gonna help try to clean up the streets. APD NEEDS the help, a lot like HPD, SAPD…
Agreed. Definitely beneficial. There's been several cases of girls calling from hotels right by the Riverwalk who were kidnapped in other states and held here being used as prostitutes.
Well, I wonder why Austin needs DPS in the first place. Maybe if they decided to work more with their local law enforcement instead of backing them into a corner and making them quit and go work in neighboring cities.
There is no partnership. Police have jurisdiction in a city. Sheriff has jurisdiction of a county, including the city. State has jurisdiction over the state, including the counties and cities. It has always been that way. Investigate all you want.
Pull DPS out and let the fine people of Austin live with what they voted for. People get the government they deserve. Maybe, once the inevitable happens and crime becomes as bad as it is in Chicago or SF, the voters will wake up and face reality.
Ha Leftists almost never "wake up and face reality" and if they do its WAY too late, Seattle last year elected in a landslide a GOP city attorney and Portland elected a hard on crime conservative city councilman by a big margin but the damage is done.
Then Austin will just turn around and squeeze the tax payers harder for more money, raising taxes on Businesses and Residents, and then ordering APD to focus SOLELY on, "generating revenue" by writing more citations (instead of fighting REAL crime) and levying higher fees/penalties...the same thing always happens in Democrat controlled States and Cities that are bankrupted by the overspending of money that they do not have, on Welfare and Entitlements... it is a viscous circle ;)
My PASTOR use to say…LAWS are for the LAWLESS! If you’re not participating in CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR and ACTIVITY then you don’t have to be concerned about additional presence instead this is cause for CELEBRATION. The community and neighborhoods should breathe a sigh of relief. Remember: FEDERAL LAW supersedes STATE LAW.
Wrong. The US Constitution clearly states: Constitutional Law > State Law > Federal Law If a law is not found directly in the US Constitution or written to enforce powers granted to the federal government by the constitution then state laws supercede them. Just reread the 10th Amendment. Everything else you said is correct.
Or y’know you don’t want to live under martial law, where every movement is scrutinized and there are curfews strictly enforced. And anyone should be considered at new officers going in with a god-complex. Have you never heard of false arrests before?
Thank you DPS!!! You're a huge help. Police defunding by democrats and crime getting horrible thank goodness and I live close to Austin crime oaks are getting caught. It's a blessing. Don't apologize. We do not want California toe cities
When this street takeovers happen the Police need to show up with spike strips. Arrest and punish the drivers, confiscate their cars. Teach them a lesson that there are consequences for their actions. Go to the race track if you want drift or race.
Why would you want to uphold Austin’s California values? We see how California is destroying itself in the name of their equity democracy which harms people on race and social class.
Ok, by their own admission, 50% of the traffic stops they initiated were unjustified. That was in the numbers they provided in the story. That means 50% of the time they violated someones rights. As a minimum. That doesn’t include stops where an illegal search turned up something. They were brought in to help with illegal street takeovers. They stopped three, didn’t stop a bunch more. Basically, they turned on the citizens who asked for help because they’re not able to do what they were asked to do in the first place. Stop street racing.
Who are the residents that are worried? Only person in this video is an ACLU representative and I can tell you she's more worried about minorities. Austin is an ultra liberal city and has started sinking into the abyss of lawlessness which comes along along with that.
Almost immediately after troopers hit the streets, city officials this month began celebrating a drop in violent crime, most recently reporting that such crimes have been well below averages in each of the four weeks DPS has been embedded in Austin” - The Texas Tribune, 5/2/23 Finally, something positive happening in the San Francisco of Texas.

It would be nice if these aclu people would be as concerned with the safety of law abiding citizens in these areas who have their lives disrupted by selfish people. Look at Portland, Seattle, Detroit , Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York to name some of the biggest issues of civil liberties being violated by little terrorists.
DPS? The same DPS that allowed 19 elementary and 2 teachers bleed to death because they were to chicken shit to risk their own lives to save other people. Congrats Austin, just played yourself.
I also watched the Perry ordeal. The protester came to Perry's vehicle. If you come up to a person holding a gun what do you think with all those blm protesters surrounding his car with nowhere to go he's going to do? I am thankful Abbott will free him as should never have been charged. I was shocked to hear it in the first place. Austin Houston are liberal but look at the crime there
Of course, the Uvalde incident wasn't transparent. It was a federally planned and run operation. How do you have that many US Marshals on the scene, without federal coordination? Is the US Marshals Service Headquarters across the street? And how about Nancy Pelosi's friend who is a serial "at the scene person" in so many of these shootings? How does she know when and where to take her "vacation" so that she will be on the scene of so many shootings? How "coincidental".
I live less than 2 hours away from austin and absolutely refuse to enter the city. The idiocy of liberal policies is obvious and dangerous for the citizens.
Why is their a cause for concern? What the city of Austin is doing along with DPS is a good thing. Unless you want that city turning into other cities and states like California, where they have no control over it, at all. Savannah kumar is only making this a political and liberal issue instead of focusing on the hard facts, solid numbers, and doing what needs to be done.
One in twenty cars have student driver on them.......wonder why that is? (Sarcasm)...Austin collisions are thru the roof. This has nothing to do with a few street races. Austin Texas DMV is5. obviously passing out DLs like candy. Same as San Diego in 2004
This useless "Savannah Kumar" person throwing big words like transparency and accountability as if they hold the local city govt. to same standards. No one cares about your words when all the houses on the street are getting broken into. This is the best thing to happen to Austin. Thank you Gov. Abbot
DPS thank you for being in Austin. Please help them not turn into Los Angeles and San Francisco.
@Jasmine Grace at least try to be more original. They're going off of FACTS, but your kind is too emotionally disturbed to understand facts.
Austin brought these problems on themselves
So did every other state that just stood by, did nothing, and de-funded their police departments. Atleast the city of Austin is doing something about it.

There is no partnership. Police have jurisdiction in a city. Sheriff has jurisdiction of a county, including the city. State has jurisdiction over the state, including the counties and cities. It has always been that way. Investigate all you want.
Well, the other option for the governor would be to call in the national guard to enforce martial law to settle things down.

Send them to Dallas and Houston theyre having problems with criminals
You have to go after the most liberal city first. Liberals ruin cities so this makes sense.
