In July, APD delayed releasing videos of 11 critical incidents on May 30 & 31. The budget passed, now it's time to RELEASE THE TAPES. Show the city how APD "protects & serves" by seriously injuring these people. #WheresTheVideo#BradAyala#JustinHowell#SaranekaMartin#Austin
Patagonia has reached out to us. They regret that they have no cameras that face the street, no footage to offer and are horrified this happened on their doorstep. We are working with them to see how else they can continue their support of #BlackLivesMatter
Tell these businesses to release any security camera footage that could help catch the killer. @FrostBank refuses to release footage without a subpoena since @Austin_Police let the killer go after questioning. If APD won’t work to seek justice, the people will. #releasethetapes
We have verified that @austintoymuseum doesn't have any relevant footage. He voiced support of #blacklivesmatter and is offering a discount on beverages for protestors. Stay hydrated out there!
Yet again Austin police won't be releasing body cam footage w/in 60 days. 2 opportunities w/ this brand new policy & they're 0-2.
Every time police flout their own policies w/o recourse they prove the meaningless of reform & make the case that the only answer is to #DefundAPD.
NEW: Williamson County DA Shawn Dick says he is proceeding with his portion of Javier Ambler investigation and “will continue to assist any prosecutor in Travis County who desires to see that justice is done.”
@tplohetski@KVUE DA Moore is delaying taking these cases to grand jury because Jose Garza ran on a platform of reforming how officer-involved shootings are prosecuted. He committed to speed up the timeline by taking the case to a grand jury within 30 days. (1/3)
@tplohetski@KVUE Moore claims she's respecting the desires of the community, but her spiteful actions demonstrate precisely why she was defeated by such a stunning margin of votes. (2/3)
@KellyRose2020@KXAN_News And how, exactly, do you think the police would have prevented this...? We're lucky APD didn't shoot the VICTIMS when they arrived!
@KohzKah For all of y'all pissed about them shooting a kid in #Portland, we still need your outrage in Austin!!!
APD shot TWO young men (16 yo #BradAyala and 20 yo #JustinHowell) and they won't release the tapes until after the annual budget votes. #suspicious
We will never stop demanding accountability for APD. Release the bodycam & DMAV & HALO tapes for Mike Ramos, Brad Ayala, Justin Howell, Nemo Martin, and everyone else y'all seriously injured during the #ATXprotests NOW!
