Neon Nettle-
The police department in one of the largest cities in Texas – Democrat-run Austin – has announced that it will no longer respond to “non-emergency” calls.
The new rules came into force on Friday, October 1, interim Austin Chief of Police Joseph Chacon revealed.
Residents and others in Austin are being told to submit a report online or call 311 in situations including when there is no immediate threat to life or property.
So, if a thief is already driving away in your car, calling 911 will not yield a response.
Speaking during a briefing this week, Chacon said the change in policy stems from recommendations from the far-left groups Reimagining 911 and Non-Police Crisis Response.
He also cited a lack of manpower due to challenges hiring enough officers and a jump in 911 calls this year from previous years due to skyrocketing crime rates in Democrat cities. more
Progress is wonderful!
[ring ring] “911. What is your emergency?”
– “Someone just pulled me out of my car at a stoplight and drove off with all my belongings!”
“I’ll transfer you to social services. Your call is important to us. Please stay on the line.”
[ring ring] “911. What is the nature of your emergency?”
– “The server at the restaurant misgendered me and did not warn the people in the next booth to keep their masks on. I feel violated and unsafe!”
“We have units in the area headed your way. Try to find a safe place to shelter. Do you need a grief counselor? I’ll stay on the line with you until they arrive.”

“Austin, Saguache. Over…”
“Austin, Saguache. Come in Austin.”
“Austin, this is Saguache, Texas. Please come in!”
“Austin, come in!”
“Austin! Is anyone there?”
“Anyone at all…”
“Sir, Austin is gone.”
“Damn Democrats! They’re all Zombies now.”
The bumper sticker that says,
“We Don’t Call 911”
Has come to fruition!
I’m not sure if I’m more angry or sad. Austin used to be a great place to live.
What was the call? “Keep Austin weird?” Congratulations, not only is Austin 100% weird but it will soon join Detroit and Chicago as “All American Cities (of the left)”.
311: 311, what is the nature of your call?
Caller: I just shot a man who broke into my house.
311: Why didn’t you call 911?
Caller: It’s no longer an emergency. The guy is dead. I just need you to come haul him away. My recycle bin isn’t big enough.”
DavidW,
Now THAT’S what I’m talking about!
The alternative I was thinking of was just to dump the body at the curb (don’t want to block traffic). Ummmm…..your neighbor’s curb. Leave a note pinned to the body, “didn’t call 9-1-1, wasn’t an emergency”. But wear gloves, don’t want to leave fingerprints.
Fine, bitches! I’ll handle it myself.
“What I would say is that if a person is in doubt about whether it’s an emergency or not, then just call 911 and that is going to be the best way to make sure that you know,” he said.
If you don’t have enough personnel to answer 311 calls, you don’t have enough to answer 911 calls. The better solution is to move out of Austin.
Get up get, get down, 911 is a joke in your town. Funny thing you can’t find that video anymore on Youtube. Talk about your self-fulling prophecy; gut the PD under the banner of “Defund the Police” and make it clear the police are to blame for all social problems and then act shocked that there are no enough cadets to replace the police that are retiring or just leaving the job and thus 911 services are cut to the bone.
When the Left accomplishes their plan of getting rid of the police they are the ones that will be shocked as to the genie that will come out of that bottle. It will not be pleasant and I feel sorry for the average libtard. If the average Libtard goes to ‘the hood’ to celebrate ‘the revolution’ with those who have been ‘oppressed’ the libtard will realize that their new preferred pronoun is “victim”. Should they flee to their rich homes in places like Boulder where “arms are for hugging” their pronouns will still be “victim”. The irony is the only happy ending for these idiots is for the system not to fail.
yep, call a psychiatrist such as the AOC squatter has done, complete with big and phony boo-hoo tears. pity.
They got exactly what they defunded—no LEO response.
