Just FYI: the district attorney Jose Garza — anti-cop, social justice warrior — is the Travis County DA, not Austin DA.
So he has spread even broader damage. Much blood on his hands!

Austin is in Travis county.

I voted against Garza as hard and often as I could.

These people remind you that the left is malevolent and persistently so.

The gender madness victims (sex reassignment) don’t think there is a difference at all.

But you can’t put back what the knife or the drugs wielded by the surgeons and psychiatrists/psychologists have severed or stopped.

Ahh, the Wren Collective is defined by its self-determined name: “Collective” means “Communist”.

Norman,
Letters of Marque generally presume a potential for profit and some version of a prize court.
Neither would be the case when the government C-Ps the populace into desperate vigilantiism.

Given the way these thugs work, that mendacious org. would HAVE to be called something like the INNOCENCE Project.

Kinda like Soros’s Open Democracy(?) Foundation (heh) or Zuckerberg’s Transparency Whatever.

Etc…

As they say, for these gangsters “1984” is a How-To manual…and grift, thievery and destroying the social order is their virtue.

Think of it as “reparations” on a massive, societal scale.

I read about half of the paper (prepared by a law enforcement group) exposing Wren. One prominent progressive prosecutor that has close ties is our own Larry Krasner. For anyone paying attention, or otherwise n the know, the Wren organization is just one of countless actors advancing progressive policies, including in the criminal justice world.
It’s such a nightmare, it’s opposite-land, to find these anti-law enforcement candidates easily winning elections to become the premier law enforcement authority in their jurisdictions. They just walk right into office, and keep winning reelection.
On a smaller point, notice the article describing how one state attorney general improperly shared confidential criminal files with Wren. We have a similar situation in Philadelphia, where a high-up assistant district attorney worked closely with an organization within NYU law school, as the law school prepared a long “expose” of the alleged decades-long corruption practiced by the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office before Krasner was elected. It was discovered that she had made the DAs confidential files freely available to this outside advocacy organization.
This is unheard of and leaves the files open to contamination, to real evidence being destroyed or altered. There have been no repercussions.
By the way, I read the NYU report. It’s rubbish. Completely misrepresents the facts of the numerous convictions that have been attacked by groups such as The Innocence Project—and Krasner. Numerous not-innocent murderers have thus been let out of prison, and awarded millions of dollars by the city for their supposed unjust incarceration.

The Venn Diagrm of:
People with more money than sense;
People who strongly advocate for population control;
People who want to “reimagine criminal justice”;
is a totally overlapping circle.
What better way to reduce the population than by allowing criminals to go about unmolested by icky police? Once one eliminates enough of the hoi polloi, the world will be so very much nicer a place in which to indulge oneself.

I should take a crack at Crime and Punishment some day.
Our Marxists just as the Bolsheviks did love crime, just not against the state. But to the population have at it. Crime creates kaos and feeds the revolution.
