Breaking news is reporting on the Uvalde shooting at Robb Elementary in South Texas.
In response to a post from Mayor Eric Johnson’s Twitter account, Community Police Oversight Board member Dee Wadsworth (D12) blamed teenage white boys for mass shootings.
We did not notice a similar expression of concern for the multiple shooting events here in Dallas including Deep Ellum or the nonpermitted concert that off duty Dallas Police officers were assigned to protect through their security protection racket that injured ten.
Ms. Wadsworth also made no mention of the serial attacks on Asian businesses in Dallas – an area she theoretically has oversight – or the race of the suspect arrested during that investigation.
We are attempting to get more information on the breadth of Ms. Wadsworth’s racial views as they relate to policing in Texas, but she has multiple tweets on gun violence . None of the tweets we viewed appear to mention of accountability for the criminal.
Uvalde Shooting Details
While this event is outside Dallas and not normal for Other Side Dallas to report, we will note that the shooter has been identified as a Hispanic male, not a caucasion, and that in multiple recent Dallas shootings white teenagers were not involved raising the question does Ms. Wadsworth have a racial viewpoint that might not be open to facts.
We have reached out to District 12 City Council Member Cara Mendolsohn for comment and will update once she responds.
