Progressive who called for defunding cops requests cops to protect him at home

Rep. Greg Casar, a leftist lawmaker who voted to defund the Austin PD as a city council member [and we all know the street definition of 'member'] is a hypocrite for requesting heightened police protection outside his home. The frightened flower sent the request to the United States Capitol Police who then passed it along to the Austin PD, which Casar voted to defund.

Casar's office responded to the media: "Our office has not been in communication with the Austin Police Department on this matter because these issues are handled by the United States Sergeant at Arms, who then works with U.S. Capitol Police and local law enforcement agencies,” the statement said. But if the Capitol Police Dept. made the request to the Austin Police Dept. then naturally Casar's office did not do the communicating, so they didn't lie, sort of.

The Austin Police Retired Officers Association called the request “the height of hypocrisy.” And it's also kind of the height of wimpy.

"It’s come to our attention that Anti police king of the defund movement in Austin @GregCasar who only last week called APD an agency with racist practices has requested enhanced patrols around his house for the next week," the group said on X. "We want everyone in Austin to feel safe. But this seems to us as the height of hypocrisy from the congressman. Maybe he should hire private security like his fellow squad members do. Sure seems like he wants the police in his neighborhood just not yours."

Gosh, a Democrat who is also a hypocrite. Whoda thunk?

In addition to his call to defund the police, just last week the leftist hypocrite wrote to the Department of Justice about the Austin PD, calling for "systemic reforms to the Department's policies and practices of excessive and lethal use of force, racial discrimination, and discrimination against people with mental health conditions."

But since he wants the Austin PD to protect him, it's probable that he really never meant it and only wanted to score points with Putin and Soros.
