    Feds join in the Austin bashing, even though crime isn't that bad here compared to other big cities in Texas.

    This is when it's hilarious when the conservatives cry "we need less government"

    I agree adler sucks, but I would definitely not want the DPS in charge of policing the city.

    Crime went up before the budget was even discussed.

    "We don't want Austin to turn into Seattle." I can hear it now.

    DPS is very probably as under-trained as city cops.

    DPS training is 23 weeks "both physically and mentally demanding"

    And what does Abbott expect DPS to change, or maybe improve by running the Austin police.

    What measurements to show if/how/when DPS changes anything APD?

    This is nothing but a Repug authoritarian's cheap stunt / power play on blue Austin.

    Was saying I can hear the pro-LE people in Texas who will justify this saying that.

    oh sure, their lame-brained hand wringing about crime and homeless people in Austin is in a similar vein.
