$335K settlement announced

It’s been announced that the City has settled the lawsuit brought against the City and the FWPD office by the Jose Baudilio Lemus-Rodriguez estate concerning the police action shooting of Mr. Rodriguez.

I take no issue with the amount of the lawsuit, nor the fact it’s been settled.  Frankly, I think we, the taxpayers, are getting off cheaply.

I do take issue with the City’s continued refusal to release the tape.  If this has been settled, and there is no longer an investigation, release the tape.  We citizens have a right to know what our police are up to.  When our police and fire operate in the darkness of night, the potential for abuse and wrong exists.  What do you have to hide?
