Chairman West’s Statement on the City of Austin Re-Imagining the Police

Austin, TX, Release: August 17, 2020. For Immediate Release

Below is Chairman Allen West’s commentary on the city of Austin’s choice to
place their Marxist social justice vision over public safety:

 

“The recent delusional decision of the Austin City Council to defund the
Austin Police Department by $150M is highly disconcerting. It is evident that
the progressive socialist elected officials who control the Capitol of Texas
are not aligned with the rule of law, and law enforcement, but rather the rule
of the mob. History has shown us previous endeavors of socialist undermining of
law enforcement, and the eradication of private gun ownership, result in mob
rule, and coercion, intimidation, and violence against law abiding citizens.
That recipe of disaster was seen in early 1930s Germany with the National
Socialists and the Brown Shirts, and more recently in Venezuela with the
socialist government armed gangs called the Colectivos.

 

It appears that Austin Mayor Steve Adler and his ilk have chosen radical
leftist and Marxist groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter over the
safety of the citizens of Austin. Crime in Austin is up over 60%, and that is
before this insidious, dangerous, decision. Texans must awaken and this
election cycle begin to reject the deranged ideological agenda of leftist
progressive socialism in the Lone Star State...or else replicate their
failures, and civil unrest and violence witnessed in Portland and Seattle.”
