First Waco PD go full auto on bikers, now Austin PD harrasses homeless woman in a wheelchair - which is the same cop that taunted a raped woman last year. Police unions in Texas... have they no dignity, pride, or integrity at all?

Only after a public request for this dash cam video made it public, was the conduct of this dirtbag cop found unprofessional.

Keep that in mind while you read the news report:

"An Austin, Texas, police officer has been suspended for 10 days for belittling a homeless woman in a incident captured on patrol car video. Senior Officer Mark Lytle was assigned to duty at a homeless shelter for 20 days when he returns. Chief Art Acevedo suspended Lytle on June 15, saying his demeanor and language were rude and unprofessional.

Police on Friday released video of the Dec. 18 incident under an overpass. The woman uses a wheelchair. Lytle is heard using vulgar language, tells her to leave and threatens her with jail.

Lytle was suspended for five days last fall after he joked about rape."

The video, which lasted nearly eight minutes, shows that Lytle used rude and deprecating language toward the woman and violated department policies while detaining her for violating a city camping ordinance.

Lytle is the same officer whose recorded conversations went viral six months ago, embarrassing APD. In the recording, Lytle joked about ignoring crimes and said that nobody could "un-rape" a woman.

It's unclear what warrants were issued against the woman. Police discovered Lytle's conduct after a member of the public recently asked for the video.

In addition to his unpaid suspension, APD reassigned Lytle to the Austin Resource Center for the Homeless in downtown Austin for 20 days.
