A radical Democrat congressman has demanded the Austin Police Department provide security patrols at his home.

However, the same Democrat “Squad” member, Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX), has been one of the leading voices in the far-left “Defund the Police” movement.

As a city council member, Casar successfully campaigned to defund the Austin Police Department (APD) by a staggering $100 million.

Just last week, he also blasted the APD for alleged racist practices.

Now Casar has been met with a backlash after requesting a police patrol at his home from the same defunded department.

The Austin Police Retired Officers Association responded to the demand from Casar in a post on X Tuesday:

“It’s come to our attention that Anti police king of the defund movement in Austin @GregCasar who only last week called APD an agency with racist practices has requested enhanced patrols around his house for the next week.

“We want everyone in Austin to feel safe,” the post added.

“But this seems to us as the height of hypocrisy from the congressman.

“Maybe he should hire private security like his fellow squad members do.

“Sure seems like he wants the police in his neighborhood just not yours.”
