‘Enter At Your Own Risk!’: Texas Police Group Puts Up Billboards Warning Those Entering Austin That City Defunded Police
People entering Austin, Texas, from Interstate 35 will see two billboards warning them that the city defunded police.
One billboard says, “Warning! Austin defunded police. Enter at your own risk!” CBS News reported. The board is referring to the Austin city council’s vote last month to cut the police budget.
The second billboard reads, “Limited support next 20 miles,” the outlet reported.
The billboards were put up by the Texas Municipal Police Association, which announced its campaign Wednesday on Facebook:Today, TMPA released two billboards (pictured below), along Interstate 35, entering Austin, intended to raise public awareness that Austin is a defunded city. This reckless act, a political stunt by the city council pandering to the radical left, will do nothing but endanger the people of Austin.
As the largest police association in Texas, it is our duty and responsibility to stand up for the brave men and woman of the APD, as well as the other law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction within the city limits which will have less of APDs resources to depend on, and to raise public awareness of the dangers of defunding not just Austin, but any city across the U.S.
Texas’ top politicians praised the campaign late last week. Lieutenant Gov. Dan Patrick called attention to the “great new billboards” and included a picture and the hashtag #BackTheBlue.Thank you to the Texas Municipal Police Association for these great new billboards that went up in Austin today. @austintexasgov ignored public safety and made a dangerous decision to #defundpolice #bigmistake #backtheblue #txlege pic.twitter.com/bGO8X1HyurGov.

Billboard on I-35 warns ‘Enter at your own risk!’ after Austin votes to defund police.#TexasBacksTheBluehttps://t.co/4RFhUfap10CBS Austin previously reported that Abbott asked all Texans and candidates for political office to sign a pledge against defunding the police.
— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) September 9, 2020
“I sign this Texas Backs the Blue Pledge to oppose any efforts to defund the police and to show my support for the brave law enforcement officers who risk their lives to protect and serve. Defunding our police departments would invite crime into our communities and put people in danger. That is why I pledge to support any measure that discourages or stops efforts to defund police departments in Texas,” the pledge states. “Our law enforcement officers have our backs every single day, and we need to show them that Texans have their backs. #TexasBacksTheBlue”
Some who support the slogan “Defund the Police” claim it’s not actually about defunding the police, CBS reported, it’s about “a reallocation of some money from law enforcement to other services that could help the community.”
It serves the same purpose, however, as the Austin city council voted to cut $150 million in funding to the APD and redirect most of the money to social services and elsewhere in the government.
Austin Mayor Steve Adler has said he looked to Denver, Colorado, as a model for police reforms. In Denver, mental health professionals are sent to non-violent 911 calls.
As The Daily Wire previously reported, this same approach has been adopted by St. Petersburg, Florida, and law enforcement experts warned a “catastrophe” was waiting to happen. Law Enforcement Today—a police-centric news outlet—tweeted in response to the St. Petersburg Police Department’s announcement of the change by saying, “Not every 911 call starts violent — but many of them end that way. This is a catastrophe waiting to happen… and it’s spreading across America.”

As far as the City of St Petersburg it's completely BS
Daily Wire News is BS but that what you get from Phil.Comment

Re: Let the truth be known
Let's follow your logic. You say that BLM is mostly peaceful. You say that the police are racist and target black people. There are millions of interactions with cops and minorities every day. The vast majority are just fine. Yet, LeBron James and folks like you say that police are HUNTING black men in the street. Yes, LeBron said cops are hunting black people.
BLM - Not violent.
Police - They target black people for violence and murder.
Got it.
there are more blacks killed by blacks every year as opposed to cops killing blacks.
but they are they ONLY ones rioting .... tells me something is wrong with the black population .. maybe because the have been kept down but their political leaders... the fact that there are fewer two parent homes than there were 20 years ago in the black communities. The Moral fabric of our society has gone to hell, hence the failing black communities. How come there are many black kids that came from the "hood" that made a success of their lives when they only had one parent around? It's because those single parents WORKED hard.. believed in God and Country.. and whooped their kids when they got out of line!
I have never Burned Looted Murdered.. I didn't have that 'plush' of a life. Anything but the clothes on my back I EARNED when I was young. I didn't listen to people telling me " You can't do that" because that made me more focused ON DOING IT!!!
Life is NOT 'free ride' and for the people that worked .. earned .. sweated to get what they have APPRECIATE what they have even more. MOST young people have been handed things all their lives... didn't have to pay any retribution when they fucked up... Mommy n Daddy just "fixed" the problem. The ONE AND ONLY time I got arrested ( speeding/evading ) I had to stay in jail over night.. pay my OWN fines.. Did my own community service hours.. and when dad picked me up at 0900 from the jail, he had parked the car at the FURTHEST parking space from the jail door, everytime I took a step I got his shoe in my ass. Oh yeah.. I also had to buy a new HP uniform because the cop got out of his car slipped ..fell ... tore his shirt n pants.
But it was a fun race.... and I crossed the line before my buddy did.Comment

Re: Let the truth be known
Even though the Amigos are fully aware that "defunding" does NOT mean "disbanding" they prefer to push the rightist agenda of panic. Apparently it accomplishes more with that specific base of people.Comment
