Texas Gov. Greg Abbott responded to a Sunday article in Daily Mail that detailed the large number of cops ditching California for the pastures of Texas, which might not be greener but are certainly more friendly to law enforcement. Morale is low among peace officers in the Golden State as soft-on-crime woke district attorneys like LA's George Gascón and Alameda County's Pamela Price, along with criminal-loving measures like Proposition 47, make them feel undermined and unwelcome.

Many of them are headed to the Lone Star State, but Abbott has a warning for them: Never forget that from which you have fled.
Hundreds of cops flee California to Texas blaming CA's soft on crime policies.
