Former San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro has officially voiced support for Prop B, which would, in short, allow officers who have committed misconduct to be permanently fired.
On Monday, April 12, a pre-recorded video of Castro was shared by the Fix SAPD social media channels. Though Castro gave credit and acknowledged the work of law enforcement, the former secretary of HUD also called for police officers to be held accountable when necessary.
“Like you, I have tremendous respect for our men and women of law enforcement,” said the San Antonio native. “I also believe that you and your family - that all of us - deserve accountability when bad officers cross the line.”
