TL;DR Summary

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has deployed an additional 30 state troopers to Austin after the city suspended its partnership with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) over a controversial traffic stop. The suspension came after reports that a trooper had pointed a gun at a 10-year-old boy during the stop, but subsequent body cam footage showed otherwise. The partnership had been established to help the understaffed Austin Police Department combat rising crime. Despite the suspension, Texas DPS has stated that it will continue patrols in Austin.
