MARCH 2022. Blues Vol 38 No. 3

FROM THE GUEST EDITOR’S DESK
THE AUSTIN 19
Nineteen officers working tirelessly
around the clock to protect
you, your family and your property.
And when mobs of angry
protestors showed up, they stood
their ground and protected your
city with the tools that were given
them. Followed orders given
to them from their superiors.
They held the Thin Blue line of
good vs evil.
They did everything they could,
with what they were given.
These men and women did their
job. They did their duty. They
did not allow these hoodlums to
destroy our capital or your city.
And now those very same citizens
who you protected want to
crucify you for doing your jobs.
For following orders. No sir, it
doesn’t work that way.
You call yourself the “District
Attorney” of Travis County. The
Chief Law Enforcement Officer.
Yet your distain for law
enforcement, makes me believe
you would make a better defense
attorney. Out defending
crooks rather than prosecuting
them. Your liberal ass belongs in
California not Texas. In Texas, we
support our law enforcement officers,
not punish them for doing
their jobs.
While this carnage was taking
place, you and your family
were safe at home watching the
mayhem on TV. While the men
and women of Austin PD were on
the ground going toe to toe with
those that wanted to do them
harm. Meanwhile the families
of these officers were praying
to GOD asking Him to get them
home safely.
Now it seems you hate the
police as much as the protestors.
You’ve obviously presented
slanted evidence to a Grand Jury
convincing them these officers
were out for blood. Evil monsters
with a badge. You abandoned
and turned on the very
people who saved your damn
city. We sure as hell didn’t see
your ass out there trying to calm
a rioting crowd. Nope. You left
that to APD and then have the
nerve to cut their throats? Nineteen
officers indicted for doing
what their superiors told them
to do.
As always, you carry on with
the pathetic and false narrative
of “Reform.” While innocent
citizens are suffering, crying and
even dying, you carry on like
you’re some kind of hero. Mr. District
Attorney, you are no hero.
You are a heartless, disgusting
piece of liberal trash that belongs
anywhere but Texas.
Until you are ready to serve
and protect the citizens that
elected you, I suggest you resign
and do what you’re bested suited
for. Protecting these scumbags,
you love so much. Join the side
you belong on.
I’ll close with this. When the
hordes of innocents come calling
REX EVANS
again and they will, the men and
women of the Austin Police Department,
Travis County Sheriff’s
Office and the Texas Department
of Public Safety will once again
stand between those raging
crowds and you. They’ll lay down
their lives, if necessary, leaving
their families behind, so you and
your staff can go home to yours.
EDITOR NOTE:
As we went live with this edition,
Governor Gregg Abbott said
he was considering pardonening
the 19 officers. The Governor
stated they were protecting the
citizens of Austin and following
the orders of their supervisors as
well as the chief of police.
“Those officers should be
praised for their efforts, not
prosecuted,” Abbott said in
a statement. “Time will tell
whether the accusations against
the courageous Austin police
officers is a political sham. Time
will also tell whether I, as Governor,
must take action to exonerate
any police officer unjustly
prosecuted.”
