People entering Austin, Texas, from Interstate 35 will see two billboards warning them that the city defunded police.
One billboard says, “Warning! Austin defunded police. Enter at your own risk!†CBS News reported. The board is referring to the Austin city council’s vote last month to cut the police budget.
The second billboard reads, “Limited support next 20 miles,†the outlet reported.
The billboards were put up by the Texas Municipal Police Association, which announced its campaign Wednesday on Facebook:
Today, TMPA released two billboards (pictured below), along Interstate 35, entering Austin, intended to raise public awareness that Austin is a defunded city. This reckless act, a political stunt by the city council pandering to the radical left, will do nothing but endanger the people of Austin.
As the largest police association in Texas, it is our duty and responsibility to stand up for the brave men and woman of the APD, as well as the other law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction within the city limits which will have less of APDs resources to depend on, and to raise public awareness of the dangers of defunding not just Austin, but any city across the U.S.
