Police union blames prosecutors

Out of work and receiving only 70% of his previous income from workers' compensation, he's struggling with rent, pain, and nightmares. Stewart spent decades working as a bodyguard and in security, and now he's faced with quickly finding a new line of work that doesn't require two completely functional hands. Something else he didn't expect: that the August 21 attack would become political.
Bergin told us he really, really wants help."I want to see a doctor," he said. He suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2014 after being attacked with a hammer and has been prescribed several antipsychotic drugs in his life. He says during his four stays in Travis County Jail he's always received some combination of his psychiatric meds, but after every release he's been adrift.
APA wrote in the release that,"Garza has made a pattern and practice of wholesale rejecting Criminal trespass charges, among others, since taking office. ... Failing to prosecute criminals has real life consequences and this is only one more example in what appears to be a never ending list." Those final sentences of the APA press release seem to be a call for someone to take on the expensive process of petitioning for Garza's removal from office.
Danny Smith, head of mental health for the Travis County Sheriff's Office, says Integral Care, the county's public mental health authority, has an intake team in the jail that connects people to their services post-release. But Bergin told us no one from Integral Care has ever contacted him or helped him continue the prescriptions he's received while incarcerated.
