Fake Drugs Saga

Even worse, we need to know the city's exposure in all this because those poor Mexican Nationals and/or their lawyers are going to own a hunk of our assets before this is done. There are going to be at least 24 new millionaires in Mexico before this is over.

Thanks to Jesse Diaz, Diana Flores, R.Lopez, Spinzone for keeping this atrocity on the front burner.

Are there any plans to have the same kind of meeting (DA) with the City Manager and get his perspective, position or plans on the drug scandal atrocity?

What about the FBI? Either having a press conference, march or both in order to encourage them to finish their investigation? That way the City can stop saying they are waiting on the FBI.

Maybe the plan is to hope everybody forgets if enough time passes. There should be consequences for anyone who takes away another human being's hope, rights and freedom.

It appears some individuals both appointed and elected are willing to give up some of their liberty (as well as that of nuestra gente) and integrity in order to survive, but as someone once said,

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety themselves."

Muchas gracias!!! Gracias a Dios, that there are still people out there who care about injustices.

It is my understanding the DA and FBI have already met with representatives of PURE and LULAC Council 4496. You can contact Diana Flores @ 214-337-5150 (PURE) or Jesse Diaz @ 214-381-7777 (LULAC Council 4496) as your idea about a meeting with the City Manager is natural next step process which needs to be conducted.

According to sources, the DA has indicated interest in conducting his own investigation once the FBI has finished their investigation, particularly if DA Hill feels the FBI's investigation did not produce a sufficient number of indictments related to this issue.

According to sources, the FBI may soon announce additional indictments. The possibility of these individuals talking may produce interesting results. I don't see the FBI closing their investigation within the next 90 days, but likely within 6 months.

In short, your idea of PURE, LULAC Council 4496 and any other interested individuals and/or groups meeting with the Dallas City Manager and immediately afterwards holding a press conference in the City Hall Flag Room to give notice to Dallas citizens, the City Manager and all City Council members that a thorough, independent investigation must be initiated on the fake drug scandal to address this issue and hold any and all involved accountable, regardless of when the FBI concludes their investigation.

This investigation should NOT be internal, but should be conducted by individuals with high integrity who have no connection to the problem source. I assume your idea of "internal" is investigating the internal aspect of How this crap began, Who knew What and When and What was done or not done when who knew it, right?

Dallas citizens need to know this issue will not stay swept under the carpet any longer, as it was when DPD high ranking and high profile officials successfully slowed down possible protests and inquiries of many Hispanic leaders and Hispanic organizations late in 2001 and early in 2002.

I believe steps have already been taken (initiation of meetings with the DA and FBI), but your suggestion on where to go next is excellent. Since you showed up for the initial press conference on the racial slurs, your input and/or presence would be appreciated.

With Bolton gone, it is not a surprise the DPD is now playing ball with the background checks of all DPD officers. Although it represents the tip of the iceberg, it is a beginning.
