    Dallas hurt themselves badly a year or two ago when it was revealed the police pension fund was just about insolvent. Lots of guys retired pretty quickly then (wanting to lock-in whatever pension money was left). And of course, the Chief's position has always been a strictly political one. Putting political correctness above any other consideration.

    While they were cutting the police budget they also put a transportation bond proposal for the Nov. ballot to raise property taxes 8.75 % and I bet it will get approved by the voters. Then they will bitch about high property taxes. They will probably also bitch about higher insurance premiums because the don"t provide police services.

    I envision “Escape from Austin” as the next trilogy behind NY & LA. Matthew McConaughey as Snake Plisskin riding Bevo naked down 6th street with an army of homeless walking behind him begging for change while the song what a wonderful world plays in the background.
    How about another song by Satchmo....

    I love how so many "Diehard Texans" are willing to give up on the capital of the greatest state in the nation. Y'all aren't Texans if your willing to give up the Capital so easily. Stay safe in your town until it effects you. Bunch of pansies if you ask me. No wonder Texas is turning blue. The fight ain't over yet so put down your white flags.

    ...while claiming no one could have foreseen these unintended consequences.

    Preach it Trey!

    This is still Texas, and all of it, including the capital, Austin.

    Some of us still remember that "Remember the Alamo, Remember Goliad" are not just cute slogans. That they actually are suppose to mean something very important to Texans.

    To All,

    WATCH for Austin to magically turn into PORTLAND or SEATTLE., with all of the problems of those LEFTIST cities. = Calling 911 will NOT help you IF you should NEED a police officer.

    Best PREPARE to defend your home with forearms or other measures, should you NEED a LEO.

    yours, satx

    Apparently you are behind the times!!! Allow me to bring you up to speed. The San Adreas fault has been renamed. It has been Christened "Trump's Fault" - you can thank me later!
