Austin mayor slammed by police advocates for falling asleep during fallen officer's funeral
'I want to express my deepest apologies to the family of Officer Martin,' Austin Mayor Steve Adler said
By Paul Best | Fox News

Law enforcement advocates are sounding off after Austin Mayor Steve Adler appeared to fall asleep during a funeral on Monday for fallen police officer Anthony "Tony" Martin, who died in a tragic car crash last month.

Justin Berry, a member of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement and a senior officer at the Austin Police Department, said he thought that he saw Adler nodding off during the service, then received a photo of the mayor asleep afterwards.

"It's very disheartening to have the Mayor of the City of Austin – who was one of the ones that spearheaded all the defunding of Austin Police Department by a third of our budget, who voted to take away officers' pay stipends back in 2017, which had a huge financial impact on our families – to continue to go down a pathway that just shows nothing but the utmost disrespect and contempt," Berry told Fox News Digital.
