$100,000. One police officer. And a city that decided accountability was negotiable. Public records show the City of Cibolo, Texas spent more than $100,000 in taxpayer money defending a police officer after the state revoked his license due to a past family violence case. The state said no badge. The city said lawyers. In this video, we break down: 📑 The state audit that triggered the license revocation ⚖️ Why a “dismissed” case can still disqualify a police officer 💸 How taxpayer money was used to fight police oversight 👀 Why the city also defended supervisors involved in the hiring process ❓ And what this says about priorities when accountability shows up This isn’t rumor. This isn’t speculation. It’s all in the records. When police oversight actually works, why do cities spend six figures trying to stop it? 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION Should cities be allowed to spend taxpayer money defending officers the state says shouldn’t be licensed?
