@GregCasar to Manley: what is yr vision for addressing areas of higher violent crime in #atxgov #atxcouncil December 01, 2016 10:55 AM
Manley: # will continue practice of “intelligence led policing,” focus on areas of greatest need #atxcouncil #atxgov December 01, 2016 10:56 AM
Manley cites success of Restore Rundberg. all notes a spike in some violent crimes, will continue to monitor #atxcouncil #atxgov December 01, 2016 10:57 AM
@GregCasar will you collaborate w this #atxcouncil on new significant policy changes #atxgov December 01, 2016 10:58 AM
Manley: yes, adds, that will not change #atxcouncil #atxgov December 01, 2016 10:58 AM
@GregCasar to Manley: you committed to preventing crime through local law enforcement, not via fed immigration policy? #atxcouncil #atxgov December 01, 2016 10:59 AM
with that, @DonZimmermanATX chimes in w point of order. he wonders if it’s fair to ask employee to “follow federal law” #atxcouncil #ATxgov December 01, 2016 11:00 AM
@kathietovo: i didn’t understand that to be a question about federal law. #atxcouncil #atxgov December 01, 2016 11:00 AM
and thus, the debate over law enforcement and undocumented folks #atxcouncil #atxgov #itsabouthowyousayit December 01, 2016 11:01 AM
