Soros-backed 'anti-police' DA sparks outrage after showing up to fallen officer funeral: 'Slap in the face'
Fox News
A George Soros-backed district attorney accused of anti-police bias sparked outrage on Friday when he showed up to the funeral of a fallen Austin police officer.
"When he came walking in, I thought what gall this man has to show up at a funeral for an officer killed in the line of duty when all he's done since he's been in office is go after cops," funeral attendee Dennis Farris, president of the Austin Police Retired Officers Association, told Fox News Digital.

Garza campaigned for district attorney by promising to prosecute police officers, and he fulfilled that promise by indicting 19 officers involved in quelling a Black Lives Matter riot that the department previously exonerated, which his critics say was politically motivated. Garza also went through on a promise to indict Austin Police Officer Christopher Taylor for murder in a move that critics called "more evidence of anti-police bias."
