DOMESTIC ABUSE IN POLICE FAMILIES IS ALREADY ESTIMATED AT 40%!! SAPD ALSO HAS A REPUTATION FOR RAPING WOMEN IN THE BACKSEATS OF THEIR CARS!!
THIS IS FROM THE FIRST PROTEST HERE! THE PROTEST WAS 100% PEACEFUL AND WAS IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH THE RIOTS THAT HAPPENED!!
JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT IT OR SEE IT HAPPENING, DOESN'T MEAN IT ISN'T HAPPENING! SAN ANTONIO IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CITIES IN THE COUNTRY YET SAPD CONSTANTLY FLIES UNDER THE RADAR AND GETS A PASS. THIS HAS TO STOP!

SAN ANTONIO IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST, MOST DIVERSE, AND FASTEST GROWING CITIES IN THE US YET SAPD IS NEVER TALKED ABOUT! CONTACT SAN ANTONIO CITY COUNCIL/MAYOR NIRENBERG/SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO DEMAND P0LICE REFORMS, OPEN INVESTIGATIONS INTO OFFICERS, AND CUT SAPD $820.3 MILLION BUDGET

DON'T FORGET ABOUT THIS EITHER https://twitter.com/rbrioneslaw/status/1270361502839640064
BETWEEN 2013-2019 SAPD KILLED 47 PEOPLE! THAT IS HIGHER THAN DALLAS PD!! THE YOUNGEST WAS A 17 YEAR OLD NAMED JEREMY PONCE !
according to the cenus, the poverty rate in 2018 in San Antonio, tx was 18.6% which ranked the san antonio-new braunfels metropolitan area as the HIGHEST for poverty among the 25 most populous cities in the USA
as stated in the picture (which is from the same source as the one above) "Hispanics in SA have a poverty rate that is more than double that of Non-Hispanic Whites...African Americans have a higher poverty rate than Whites and Asians"
it goes on to state that "the poverty rate for African Americans in San Antonio is higher than among African Americans in Texas overall." THE POVERTY RATE FOR BLACK PEOPLE IN SAN ANTONIO IS HIGHER THAN FOR BLACK PEOPLE IN TEXAS OVERALL ! LET THAT SINK IN !!
SAPD HAS AN 820.3 MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET!!! YET SAN ANTONIO IS THE POOREST BIG CITY IN THE COUNTRY!!
san antonio has a lot of school districts (instead of just one for the whole city, the sa metro area is divided up into 17, yes SEVENTEEN!! different school DISTRICTS!!
in 2020 there were apparently 509 public schools (not districts) in san antonio serving 333,250 students
hot take: san antonio school districts are still segregated by income just as much as race. here's an article about Brackenridge Elementary, the 78207 zipcode, and income & racial integration efforts in SAISD https://www.the74million.org/article/78207-americas-most-radical-school-integration-experiment/
and another one by the SACurrent from 2018 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sacurrent.com/the-daily/archives/2018/07/17/san-antonio-schools-are-still-segregated-by-income-as-much-as-race%3fmedia=AMP%2bHTML
San Antonio also has a 'public' preschool system called Pre-K 4 SA which is now facing potential budget cuts (or worse) all while SAPD has their $820.3 million budget and nice NEW riot gear that they showed up in to the protests.
also here's how many people Dallas PD and Houston PD killed between 2013-2019. However, because of records on houston pd's website, we know that between 2005-2019 HPD killed 138 people.
you cannot use the excuse "it's not happening here so i dont need to protest" because it is happening here & even if it wasn't, just because it's not happening to you, your friends, & your city, does NOT mean you can & should be complicit in the dehumanization of an entire race
UPDATE FOR HOUSTON!! DEFUND HPD
