Council moves to extend Austin police benefits as oversight dispute continues (communityimpact.com)

Voters overwhelmingly passed the Equity Action measure and soundly rejected the APA-backed alternative last spring. However, Austin held off on some updates given legal concerns about their implementation. That situation led City Council to formally call to cement the updates in September. But even after that vote, some say the adopted processes still aren't being fully observed.

I find it really sad that we are caving to the police. We voted and they ignored us, yet we are extending this deal, total BS
