Yet Another Shooting in Downtown San Antonio
There was another shooting/murder on the San Antonio River Walk on Sunday morning, March 16, at Café Ole. This shooting is the second shooting (reported by the news media) in two weeks.
A preliminary report from San Antonio police said the two men worked at the restaurant, and for some unknown reason, a 20-year-old man walked up to his 43-year-old coworker and shot him in the head. On Tuesday, March 11, there was another shooting in downtown San Antonio in front of the Marriott Hotel on Commerce.
Meanwhile, Centro San Antonio CEO/president Trish DeBerry has stated that three unarmed former police officers were adequate for downtown security because she does not want to turn downtown into a police state.
Also, Chief William McManus told the San Antonio City Council Public Safety Committee on Tuesday, February 18, that crime is down “in most categories.” However, SAPD insiders say many crimes have not been reported, and the statistics are skewed. This tactic is liberal/leftist, like when the Biden Administration claimed the border was secure.
The San Antonio City Council and government are dominated by anti-police activists who want to defund and minimize the police. These leftist activists, with the help of the liberal news media, pretend and claim that crime is down, thanks to their liberal “social justice” policies.
But the public can see the truth. All crime is worst, and it will not change until the citizens and voters of San Antonio and Bexar County replace the George Soros-funded District Attorney, Joe Gonzales, and replace the anti-police elected officials. Public safety is also being compromised by “backdoor” policies and practices to abolish or diminish the police.
Since the liberal/leftist “war on police” began under President Obama and got worse under Biden, fewer police officers are being hired and more are retiring, while fewer stay in their careers. San Antonio has grown in population and area, but its police force has shrunk.
Also, police are discouraged from being proactive, punished by SAPD management, or prosecuted by the George Soros-funded D.A. for any reason. These factors have had a chilling effect on police work. All the while, the D.A. has been releasing criminals with low or no bonds.
San Antonio has a crime problem caused by a liberal/leftist leadership problem. Liberal/leftist leaders can tell the police to de-escalate, but who tells the criminals to do likewise?
San Antonio voters and taxpayers must elect pro-police, pro-public safety candidates in the May 2025 elections. That is the only solution. There was another shooting/murder on the San Antonio River Walk on Sunday morning, March 16, at Café Ole. This shooting is the second shooting (reported by the news media) in two weeks.
