The Austin, Texas, Police Department is pumping money into equity training for officers after the city council cut the police budget in 2020. Former Tucson police officer Brandon Tatum criticized the decision to fund race-based trainings while 150 positions at the police department remain empty. The city is reportedly spending $10,000 per day on "anti-racist" equity training for officers, which is based on critical race theory. ULTRA-LIBERAL SEATTLE HEADS TO POLLS FOR MAYORAL PRIMARY WITH ‘DEFUND POLICE’ PUSH UNDER SCRUTINYTatum railed against Austin city leaders, saying their interest is not in the safety of citizens. "But city leaders are completely out of touch."
