Friend,
I can’t believe I’m writing this.
Another police officer is under attack for doing his job—protecting the public.
Officer Alex Gaitan, a dedicated cop with six years of honorable service, is now facing up to 99 years in prison for subduing a violent suspect.
His real crime? Doing his duty while anti-cop activists and the media twist the facts for their political agenda.
And the worst part? Travis County District Attorney José Garza—backed by radical, socialist groups—is leading this witch hunt.
Make no mistake, Garza wants to destroy Alex’s life to make an example out of him.
Alex’s entire career is on the line. His family is terrified. His future hangs by a thread.
We cannot let another anti-police prosecutor ruin a hero’s life!
Please donate $25, $50, $100, or more to support Officer Gaitan’s legal defense.
Here’s what really happened:
In March 2021, Alex responded to a high-risk call at a building he knew well. He’d dealt with the suspect before—a violent, drug-addicted man known for resisting arrest. The last time Alex confronted him, it took three officers and a Taser to subdue him.
This time, Alex arrived to find three officers struggling on the ground with the same suspect. The man was violently resisting arrest and refused to comply. Alex knew the situation was spiraling out of control.
So, Alex used his non-lethal Taser to subdue the suspect.
The danger was over. Everyone got to go home safely that night.
But two years later, DA José Garza dropped a bombshell indictment against Alex, charging him with aggravated assault.
This is how radical prosecutors destroy good officers—they take lawful, justified actions and twist them into political scandals.
It’s wrong. It’s dangerous. And it cannot go unanswered.
Please donate to Officer Gaitan’s legal defense. He needs you now more than ever.
Friend, as someone who’s spent my life in law enforcement, this situation infuriates me.
Officers like Alex Gaitan put their lives on the line every single day. They don’t do it for recognition—they do it because they care about protecting you and your family.
But that sacrifice doesn’t matter to Garza and his far-left allies. They’ll happily destroy an innocent man’s life to push their anti-police agenda.
That’s why the National Center for Police Defense exists. We stand in the gap when officers like Alex are unfairly targeted.
We’ve helped defend officers like Betty Shelby, Anthony Federico, Hugh Barry Jr., and Mark Bessner. Now, we’re rallying patriots like you to stand with Alex Gaitan.
Time is running out. Alex needs a strong legal defense, but that costs money—money he doesn’t have. Without help, his family faces financial ruin.
Don’t let Alex Gaitan fight this battle alone. Click here to donate $25, $50, $100, or more now.
Alex’s family and future are counting on us.
Thank you for supporting our heroes in blue.
Gratefully,
Sheriff Joe Arpaio (Ret.)
