Dear Editor,
As a former Austin resident (1968-87) who travels and has hearing aids (which at times don't function well in large public structures) I have become even more appalled by the level to which Austin has sunk.
The Florida woman in her 70s who was injured during her illegal arrest should sue the pants off Bergstrom and demand at least the firing of those officers (APD?) who detained and injured her. [“
