Jim Schutze is to be commended for his attempt to obtain a copy of the audit/report conducted by the DEA described in his Fake Justice. It would behoove community based organizations to equally apply pressure to the City of Dallas and also file Public Information Act demands to obtain a copy of the audit/report completed by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration related to Dallas police procedures relevant to the fake drugs.

At a minimum, I expect two organizations will file such a demand shortly. Dallas citizens need to take ownership and responsibility to these type of situations. Reading Mr. Schutze's article. you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize some serious hoodwinking is going on here:

"An active effort was already under way to conceal portions of the report from the city council. I can't tell you how I know that. But I challenge Chief Hampton or the city attorney to deny it."

Seriously, If the citizens of the City of Dallas are going to expect a fundamental reform of police governance as a result of the work of the City of Dallas fake drug investigation the public will have to have the cojones to dive right into this issue and not hesitate to blink. Those public servants work for us, paid for by our tax dollars, and accountable to you the taxpayer. This is so simple it sounds stupid.
