Activists from the organization PODER called for the mayor and Austin City Council to denounce alleged racial profiling by DPS troopers. DPS has jointly operated with APD since March.
"There are more troopers in Montopolis than we have schools," said Susana Almanza, director of People Organized in Defense of Earth and Her Resources . "There are more troopers in Montopolis than we have playgrounds."
"This is something we see all the time," Almanza said. "People don't know that and they don't live in this community." Earlier this week, APD data from the first two weeks of the partnership between Texas DPS and APD was presented to Austin Mayor Kirk Watson and council members.
