[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Marines and civilians were in a fight in front of Voodoo Room nightclub in Austin's entertainment district

  • Several blows are exchanged and people are knocked to the ground

  • One bystander is cheering on the military men as police break up the quarrel

In July, the Austin Police and Texas Department of Public Safety resumed a partnership to increase the police presence and deter crime on the popular downtown bar street.
...after Austin defunded their police force, causing crime to soar.

#1  It wasn't really massive. One guy hit a Marine three times to no effect and then got his clock cleaned.

DPS showed up pretty quickly and broke up the fight. To no ones surprise no Marines were arrested, but the guy who started it went to jail.

I like the part towards the end where the female APD officer more or less bounces off of one of the DPS Troopers.
