Patriot, I’m asking you to stand with a good police officer

Officer Jeffery Teng is facing felony charges for doing his job during the violent riots that tore through Austin in May 2020.

This is what standing the line gets you in today’s America.

A City in Chaos

For days, Austin was overwhelmed by chaos.

Rioters vandalized buildings.
They attacked police officers.
They looted property and set vehicles on fire.

Then the mob shut down I-35.  

A major interstate highway was completely blocked — no traffic, no emergency vehicles, no way through. Total lawlessness.

Officer Teng was sent in with his partner to help restore order and clear the freeway.

What they encountered wasn’t a peaceful protest.

It was a violent mob throwing rocks, fireworks, and frozen water bottles at police. One of those projectiles struck Officer Teng’s partner in the chest.

Still, Officer Teng showed restraint.

He didn’t use lethal force.
He didn’t lose control.
He used non-lethal, department-approved methods to push the mob back and stop the danger.

That’s what professional policing looks like.

But instead of being thanked, Officer Teng is now fighting for his freedom, his career, and his future.

If officers are punished for stopping mobs from taking over highways, then the mob wins — and law and order collapses.

A Family on the Line

Officer Teng is also a husband and a father.

At home, a wife and a baby are watching this case unfold, knowing that everything they’ve worked for is on the line.

This prosecution isn’t just about one officer. It’s a warning to every cop in America: do your job, and you could be next.
