AUSTIN, Texas — The City of Austin is planning a vote for police defunding. Law Officer verified this via a social media campaign.

As a result, citizens are signing a petition in support of funding Austin Police Department.

Displaying typical political hypocrisy, Austin police officers have been assigned to patrol city council members homes. Moreover, Mayor Steve Adler has his own executive protection detail from the police department with him 24 hours per day.

The petition reads as follows:

Please sign to show your SUPPORT of Austin Police Department funding.The silent majority of citizens support Austin Police Department, this is the way to show your support.

Sign to show you are against Austin City Council vote to de-fund APD in any way. Austin City Council members are planning to vote for de-funding APD, and to stop of hiring new police officers for the future. Sign to show your support of both of these.

Side note: currently Officers have been assigned to patrol city council member houses. They are voting to de-fund APD, but want to be protected by APD. Austin Mayor Adler who voted to de-fund APD also has his own APD executive protection unit who is with him 24/7. Garza, Casar, Flannigan, and Renteria want to de-fund APD. Here is their contact info:
