The “Defund the Police” movement gained significant momentum in major Democrat-run cities across the country in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd on May 25th.

 

Cities like New York, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle all rushed to declare their solidarity with radical Black Lives Matter protesters and rioters, with some city councils taking concrete steps to slash funding for police officers while at the same time enjoying taxpayer-funded security for themselves.

The Austin, Texas city council was another Democrat-led city that jumped on board the “defund the police” express over the summer, voting last month to slash funding for the Austin PD by 34% – or up to $150,000,000. The city of Dallas plans on following suit.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has not been amused by any of this and has explored ways to stop efforts by other cities in the state from doing what Austin and Dallas have done. On Thursday, he unveiled a proposal that would punish any city that voted to cut funds from their police departments by essentially defunding the cities themselves:

On the heels of the Austin City Council’s move to cut police spending, Gov. Greg Abbott and other state leaders unveiled a proposal Thursday that would strip cities of annexation powers if local officials cut police department budgets.

“Cities that defund their police departments will forever lose their annexation powers, and any areas and any residents that have ever been annexed by that city in the past will have the power to vote to disannex them from the city,” Abbott said in a news conference at the Austin Police Association headquarters.

It’s the second legislative proposal by the governor to put pressure on cities that move to reduce police spending. Last month, Abbott proposed to withhold property tax revenue growth from local governments.

[…]

“Combined together, all of these proposals will make it basically financially impossible to defund law enforcement,” Abbott said. “It should leave Austin with no choice but to restore the cuts that they’ve already made to law enforcement.”

Police groups in Texas are not taking Austin’s and Dallas’s actions lightly, either:

Austin’s and Dallas’ defunding actions are prompting other counteractions. The Texas Municipal Police Association this week put up billboards along I-35 north and south of Austin that read: Warning! Austin Police Defunded. Enter At Your Own Risk!

Abbott has promoted the group’s message on his Twitter page and has tweeted other messages of support for officers around the state as well:

ARE ALL PRIVATELY OWNED FOREIGN CORPORATIONS FOR PROFIT OWNED BY THE CROWN BANK OF ENGLAND aka the ROTHSCHILDS THESE ARE ALL DOCUMENTED FACTS IN U.S. LAW(STATUTES) AND SUPREME COURT RULINGS !!! I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO FULLY UNDERSTAND ALL THIS . HOWEVER I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS DISTURBS YOU ENOUGH TO RESEARCH THE FACTS I HAVE PRESENTED SO YOU WILL SEE FOR YOURSELF THAT I AM TELLING THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. ALSO SO MAYBE THEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I SAY THIS COUNTRY IS FULL OF COWARDS MURDERERS AND SATANIST. Americans do not now or ever have owed taxes!!! We have been lied to and all these Governors Mayors Judges and Liars I mean Lawyers no I mean liars know the FACTS I have pointed out .

Our reserve where the product of tarrifs on from other countries selling their products in America. WAKE UP PEOPLE??? OR STAY A DAMN BRAIN DEAD SLAVE!!!

    • Anyone with half a brain won't bother to read your shouting rants with lousy punctuation and no paragraphs.

      Learn to type, punctionate, proper sentence and paragraph structure and maybe you will get somewhere with your rants.

    • I tried to tell him. Rewrote his previous post. Doesn't get it. No one can read this mess. 

  • I support the governor 100%

    • I support Abbot also. And if Trump defunded the states that didn't stop the violence as he said he would do, that would be a great double whammy.

    • You are a traitor to all Americans!!! You have no idea what the law is or you are complicit with the fraud and theft by all U.S. Governments !!! Do the necessary research that I have provided and wake up or stay a brain dead slave!!!

NONE OF THESE STATISTICS COVERED FED LAW ENFORCEMENT.FACT! Another thing if police had to carry their own Mal-practice insurance and were investigated for alleged violation's by a jury of their peers there would thousands of them in jail & on death row!!!

  • I think the governor should tell the people of his state that anyone defending their property, someone else property, or lives, with deadly force will be pardoned if they are charged with a crime anywhere inside a defunded city.  If the city government isn't even going to make an effort to protect the citizens then the citizens should have the right to protect themselves and their property.
