The city of Austin has terminated its widely criticized partnership with
the Texas Department of Public Safety in which state troopers helped
local police patrol city streets...
The suspension of the partnership comes after a state trooper aimed a
gun at a 10-year-old during a traffic stop Sunday. A DPS trooper pulled
over Carlos Meza near his South Austin home because the vehicle was
missing paper plates, FOX 7 Austin reported. When Meza’s son left the
vehicle to use the restroom, the trooper pointed a gun at the boy. It
also comes after a trooper shot a man in the arm following a car chase,
KXAN-TV reported.
