Gov. Abbott Deploys State Resources During Riots

 

AUSTIN, TX – “Texas and America mourn the senseless loss of George Floyd and the actions that led to his death are reprehensible and should be condemned in the strongest terms possible,” said Governor Abbott. “As Texans exercise their 1st Amendment rights, it is imperative that order is maintained and private property is protected.”

To ensure peaceful protest, Governor Greg Abbott has sent state resources to the cities of Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin to maintain public safety. The Governor and DPS officials have spoken with Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, and Austin Mayor Steve Adler, as well as law enforcement officials in those cities. DPS has sent more than 1,500 officers to assist local police departments. More resources will be provided as needed.

Go ahead, burn and loot your cities like a rampaging troupe of animals. They are nothing more than bastions of decrepit liberal thoughts and values. So, please, burn them to the ground and maybe thin the herd a little while you're at it. Meanwhile, out here in flyover country, we'll enjoy the peace, quiet and prosperity of conservative values.
