From the New York Post,
3 hero Austin cops who stopped deadly bar shooting [are] expected to be dragged before a grand jury thanks to George Floyd-era policy.
You read that correctly. The hero cops who kept that African immigrant (“Property of Allah”) from killing even more innocent people in his terrorist rampage are the bad guys in far-left Austin, Texas. All because George Soros hates America.
The Post reports,
Texas lawyer Doug O’Connell, whose firm O’Connell West has been tapped to represent the officers at the behest of the Austin Police Association, told The Post on Tuesday that such mandatory reviews are the brainchild of Austin District Attorney José Garza.
“The district attorney, at the direction of the Wren Collective, insists on presenting every officer involved shooting to a grand jury,’’ O’Connell said, referencing a shadowy and influential left-wing Austin-based criminal-justice reform group.
“We believe that our clients will face this same process,” the lawyer said.
Who funds the Wren Collective? KSAT-12 (San Antonio, ABC) reported back in 2024,
Wren Collective founder Jessica Brand — an Austin-based attorney…formed the Wren Collective as a for-profit limited liability company in February 2020, Texas Secretary of State records obtained Wednesday show.
KSAT adds,
Clicking on the donate button, however, takes you to a PayPal account for Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs, a Calabasas, California-based nonprofit.
A few clicks on the computer and you find out that the California nonprofit has received millions of dollars from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
That you would have guessed yourself. But this may be a surprise,
The [California] entity, which was granted nonprofit status and recognized as a 501(c)(3) by the Internal Revenue Service in February 1988, sought to promote educational and cultural exchanges among citizens of the US and citizens of the then-Soviet Union through films and television programs, records show.
Communists. Of course.
I’ve seen this dodge before: you donate to a registered nonprofit and you, the donor, get a tax deduction. Then the non profit hires a for-profit company. The for-profit gets your donation, but as an LLC doesn’t have to publish their tax returns for public scrutiny.
[Updated: later in the day, The Texas Tribune reported,
DA won’t refer police who killed Austin shooter to grand jury:
Travis County District Attorney José Garza faced intense criticism over a policy that would have sent the officers before a grand jury, before he said his office would not seek charges against “heroes.”
Reading this history of this controversy, it still seems possible that Garza’s successor could come to a difference conclusion.]
