preview

On May 31, Gov. Greg Abbott declared a State of Disaster for all Texas counties following&nbsp; George Floyd protests that erupted across the state on Saturday and Sunday.&nbsp; RELATED: The disaster declaration will authorize all federal agents to act as Texas Peace Officers during the continuing protests. A press release from the governor's office says the declaration comes in the midst of violent protests that endanger public safety and threaten property loss and damage.&nbsp; As the protest carried into the night, a car and a dumpster were set on fire in front of APD headquarters.
