Equally reprehensible are Mr. Feinberg's attempts to portray Dallas as a police state. The city provided the protestors at "Tent City" with basic necessities--which, in my opinion, was more than enough. To suggest or imply that the city should have provided for the protestor's every need, want or comfort is ludicrous. Dallas had the responsibility to insure only that the protestors be given the opportunity to protest; the federal judge (a Democrat) was obviously correct in ruling that the city had no obligation to further subsidize the protestors. By providing basic necessities, the city of Dallas donated...
...Feinberg also sharply distorted the issue of police shootings in Dallas. I'd like to know the names of those community leaders who called the dismissal of one officer a "cover-up"; as with the rest of this column, Mr. Feinberg is long on opinion and woefully short on facts. In fact, two weeks after the convention, after the media spotlight had ended, the Dallas police chief met with minority leaders to hammer out a more restrictive deadly force policy; a solution which satisfied all parties involved was agreed upon and is now in effect. That...
Through his column, Mr. Feinberg has insulted virtually all groups in Dallas. His portrayal of the city's leadership as "patronizing rich white men" insults men and women who have worked virtually all their lives to make Dallas a better city. The leaders of Dallas have done infinitely more for their city than Mr. Feinberg will ever do for anyone, save maybe himself. His portrayal of the Dallas police force as a group of trigger-happy rednecks is an insult to the hundreds of fine men and women of all races who have served their city with pride and honor...
...area, Mr. Feinberg's column was somewhat accurate, that being the unfortunate and ridiculous comments made by some members of the Dallas City Council. However, Mr. Feinberg implicates the white members while absolving the Black members. In my opinion, there are both white and Black members of the Council that are not fit for the job. Incompetence has been, in this case, truly an equal opportunity employer...
...would encourage Mr. Feinberg to return to Dallas: I would be glad to show him my city: As the convention hoopla has long since passed, I think Mr. Feinberg would find a city far different from the one he portrayed in his column. As a city, Dallas is far from perfect, but it is filled with people who stick together and work hard to solve its problems. Had Mr. Feinberg interviewed any Dallasites, be they wealthy executives or ordinary citizens or even local ACORN members, he would have found a commitment and a sense of optimism which is so sorely...
