More fires July 4, 2022 is the report of Jon Fortune, Assistant City Manager for Public Safety. The kicker is there was less enforcement by Dallas.
The City of Dallas has a consistent issue enforcing fireworks related nuissance crimes. Year after year Dallas Fire Rescue conducts public safety campaigns on fireworks. Year after year, fireworks are an issue.
Fireworks are illegal in the city limits and up to 5,000 feet outside of them.
More Fires July 4 – The Data
Fortune’s memo covers the usual potpourri of cherry picked data. The fire department responded to more reported structure fires, alarms and other incidents. Compared to last year, DFR responded to more than five times as many incidents.
There were more dumpster and trash fires than a year ago, but the biggest increase was in grass fires. Fortune notes that “further analysis is warranted” to determine causation.
This year DFR and Dallas Police issued nine citations for illegal fireworks. They also seized nine hundred thirty-eight pounds of illehal fireworks. Last year, the departments issues thirteen citations. They also seized almost thirteen hundred pounds of fireworks in 2021.
There was also a house fire in the 400 block of N. Peak Street last year which caused a criminal investigation.
The bottom line is more fires July 4, 2022 than 2021, but less enforcement.
Dallas Sheriff violates rights of incarcerated individuals per Dallas criminal defense lawyers. Deputy sheriff’s are opening attorney letters to jailed clients. The information is legally privileged and jailers are not following procedure.
Elizabeth Lutton says deputies open all letters looking for contraband. They do so as a security measure.
Per other published reports, Lutton says “that’s only done in the presence of the inmate.” She states inspection is “limited to locating contraband or illegal items.”
Defense attorneys dispute this account though. Clients have reported their letters opened outside their presence. Lawyers contend some of these involve legal strategy and client’s guilt or innocence.
The Dallas sheriff’s office did not return a call asking for comment on how long the practice has taken place.
Dallas Sheriff Violates Rights – Again
Marian Brown’s tenure as sheriff could not be worse.

This murder of a child comes as finger pointing and a political blame game goes on in Dallas.
24 Hour Dallas, the Deep Ellum Foundation, and Safe Night LLC all point fingers at one another. They also accuse the Dallas police of not knowing how to battle crime. All three groups get some money from alcohol based interests.
Why is having a safe night secret? Dallas’ economy continues to nosedive while Dallas does not respond to crime increases.
In April 2022, a private entity, Safe Night LLC, put on a “free” program for Dallas city employees. (It is unclear if Safe Night LLC got paid by Dallas city or not. The City of Dallas has not responded to open records requests to date.)
Dallas is currently experiencing unparalled violent crime rates. Dallas has experienced one hundred ten murders to date. This is twenty-seven higher than 2020.
Nearly every weekend, Dallas police is responding to incidents in entertainment districts like Deep Ellum and Greenville Avenue.
It is hard to have a complete picture of violent crime given Dallas Police choice to hide crime data.
Secret Safe Night Blame Games: Business and Cops
Currently, community activists working in concert with private special interests are attacking Dallas police for not participating in ongoing discussion. This comes just a year after Deep Ellum attacked city officials for enforcing noise ordinances.
Safe Night LLC will not release its report to Other Side Dallas that they provided to city management. They are also not releasing city employee evaluations of the April program. There are reports they did provide it to city officials in Dallas and 24 Hour Dallas. They seem to be hiding the data from everyone else.
Other Side Dallas is waiting for response on cost to the city for these services.
Line police officers we spoke to paint a clear picture that the Safe Night program is not realistic.
One officer called the presented program another social justice experiment.
The officer said, “it’s great for people who want to defund cops.” She continued, “it’s bad for everyday citizens avoiding crime.”
Beyond Dallas Police, it is unclear the relationship between the private entities. The Deep Ellum Foundation reportedly pulled out of 24 Hour Dallas a few weeks ago.
24 Hour Dallas also had a leadership shake up with one principal saying Randal White got pushed out.
Bryan Tony took over as lead on the Good Neighbor Initiative. He also would not respond to a request for the 24 Hour documents.

A new lawsuit says American Airlines jails wrong man and the details are shocking. Worse, another criminal is still out on the loose.
The lawsuit alleges Michael Lowe was arrested in New Mexico during a celebration with friends. Local police were called to investigate a disturbance and ended up arresting Lowe not for the party, but an outstanding warrant from Tarrant County, Texas.
“Mr. Lowe’s confusion was profound – he did not know where Tarrant County, Texas was and could not even remember the last time he was in the state,” the lawsuit, filed Monday, says. Tarrant County, located west of Dallas, includes the cities of Fort Worth and Arlington.
Lowe said he was not informed for seventeen days the nature of his arrest. He called those seventeen days and nights at the Quay County Detention Center “excruciating.” His only connection to Tarrant County was on a layover flight through Dallas/Forth Worth International Airport.
Now, Lowe is suing American Airlines, saying negligence by American and its employees leds to his improper arrest.
Dallas Fort Worth Airport Incident
In May 2020, a burglar broke into a duty-free store at Dallas Fort Worth airport. Surveillance cameras show the suspect boarding American Airlines flight 2248 (AA2248).
Lowe was on the flight, AA2248, to Reno, Nevada, but denied burglarizing the duty-free store.
Surveillance photos show a suspect wearing different clothing and a different hairstyle.
Airport police asked American Airlines for a passenger manifest for AA2248. The airline provided only one suspect: Michael Lowe.
Lowe Lawsuit
“American Airlines could have provided its entire manifest for the flight or a list of all individuals who matched a certain description (ex: all white males over eighteen and under 65). American Airlines also could have performed an adequate search to identify the correct suspect and provide his information to law enforcement. Instead, American Airlines affirmatively and wrongfully identified Mr. Lowe as the single suspect of the DFW Airport PD’s felony investigation which foreseeably led to Mr. Lowe being arrested and imprisoned for a crime he was innocent of,” the lawsuit reads in part.
Lowe’s court filing he describes the threat of violence from other incarcerated persons. His suit also allegees risk of catching COVID19. This was due to crowded cell conditions at the New Mexico detention facility.
After seventeen days, a guard told him he was being released.
“Sometime after Mr. Lowe’s release from jail, Detective Torres obtained Mr. Lowe’s mug shot from Quay County and compared it to the photos of the culprit; it was obvious that American Airlines had the wrong person,” per Lowe’s lawsuit.
The charges were dismissed, but the lawsuit describes Lowe as a “changed man.”
Scott Palmer, Lowe’s attorney, told local media he places the blame on the airline. “I blame American,” he said. “Without American doing what they did, (the detective) never would have issued a warrant. It all starts with the disclosure of his name and his name only.”
Lowe is seeking damages for the emotional distress of wrongful arrest, as well as his lost wages and income as a result of his detainment.
American Airlines Jails Wrong Man – Not Only Incident
The lawsuit comes as American Airlines is hit by American Idol start Kacey Musgraves with a complaint of appalling behavior by a male flight crew member.
