Oligarchs are going for broke...call 911 and die, or call 311 and risk getting killed...

Editor's note: Car thefts and hijackings are increasing, murder rates are escalating, youth gangs going on rampages are happening more frequently, black neighborhoods in some American cities are shooting galleries, violence and theft are escalating and as a result more people are becoming extremely agitated. Might want to start taking precautions, maintain constant situational awareness, learn how to defend yourself if needed and network with others who have similar concerns. As pressure from above and pressure from below continue to squeeze the American people the tension created will at some point break out. The ruling oligarchs are going for broke.

Austin City Council cuts police department budget by one-third, mainly through reorganizing some duties out from law enforcement oversight, Texas Tribune, August 13, 2020

The Austin City Council unanimously voted to cut its police department budget by $150 million on Thursday, after officers and the city's top cop faced months of criticism over the killing of an unarmed Black and Hispanic man, the use of force against anti-police brutality protesters and the investigation of a demonstrator's fatal shooting by another citizen.

Those criticisms coincided with protests across Texas and the country calling for reforms on police tactics and the "defunding" of law enforcement in favor of redistributing funds to social services and alternative public safety programs. The council’s move makes Austin the first of Texas' four biggest cities to drastically cut police department funding. The share of the police department budget that was cut is among the largest percentage decreases in the nation this year.

Council member Greg Casar, who crafted the three-tiered plan to reduce the police department budget, said when the Austin community organizes and asks for change, he wants to make sure the council can respond effectively.

Barely three years later … a chaser.
