"Austin PD has a broken paradigm," said former police officer and judge Charles Adams. "They’re standing down to crime. You can’t have this lawlessness. It’s going to lead to people taking the law into their own hands and a lot of danger to the community at large.""[Austin police] are only enforcing rules and writing tickets to citizens that follow the law," said Adams. "It’s terrifying.
"You have a certain element of the population that doesn’t act like they have any rules that apply to them," said Adams."To do this in front of a bunch of people and put lives at risk is just ridiculous," said Sean Tajipour, President of West Houston Muscle, the largest car club in Texas.
