1. Dallas has increased police presence in public schools, and, lo and behold, that has resulted in a sharp increase (95 percent) in the number of tickets issued to students. Not sure what to say about this one, except that after reading this quote, I’m real happy I’m not in school anymore: “Disrupting class, using profanity, misbehaving on a school bus, student fights and truancy once meant a trip to the principal’s office. Today, such misbehavior results in a Class C misdemeanor ticket and a trip to court.”
2. Just remember: nothing happened. Sure, the police were called by council member Dwaine Caraway. But when the police arrived at the politician’s house, they found that “both the complainant and the wife [Rep. Barbara Mallory Caraway] stated that they had had an argument and settled it.” That’s it. It was settled. It’s just a big misunderstanding between two elected officials that somehow ended up in the annals of the police reports. Â Pay no attention. Move on.
