Police Chief Jeffrey Halstead has scheduled a press conference to announce the results of the investigation tomorrow (Thursday) at 10 a.m. at the Rainbow Lounge.

The Dallas Police Department has long been reputed to be one of the most corrupt law enforcement agencies nationwide. Officers break the law or act unbecomingly, they keep their jobs, get a pat on the back and they don’t even so much as get their hands slapped. Looks like Fort Worth now ranks right up there with Dallas.
