As attacks on public officials increase and repeat offenders go unpunished, this episode of the Austin Crime Report asks: Where’s the accountability?

We dive into:

• The rise of political violence and its chilling effect on civil discourse

• How Austin officers are navigating politicized policing

• The impact of lenient prosecution on repeat violent offenders

• Local examples like the Royal Blue Grocery break-ins

• Why we must restore justice and community trust before it’s too late

We’re here to represent a perspective you won’t often hear — from the front lines of public safety.

Let’s bring back real dialogue, real accountability, and real solutions.
