A $150 million police training center is being planned for the University of North Texas at Dallas campus.
Stand-up comedian and actor Amanda Seales joined Dallas resident and organizer Tamera Hutcherson on April 14, 2024, in canvassing South Dallas neighborhoods near Glendale Park in order to persuade residents to vote against Proposition F, which would provide $50 million in bond funding for a new police training center at the University of North Texas Dallas campus.
Dallas resident and organizer Tamera Hutcherson briefs other area residents before they set out to persuade local residents to vote against Proposition F, which would provide $50 million in bond funding for a new police training center at the University of North Texas at Dallas campus.
Moreover, despite his attempt to distance Dallas’s new policing facility from Atlanta’s, Mayor Pro-Tem Atkins trotted out the very same argument that Atlanta city officials have used to attempt to delegitimize the local opposition movement: namely, the bogus “of the canvassing organizers, who are North Texans. Organizers say local District 8 residents have been largely receptive to their canvassing campaign so far.
“Why are we spending for this bond election more money towards policing when we know Dallas is becoming harder to live in terms of inflation, higher costs of rent, and the city’s inability to provide the resources needed to assist our houseless community?” Hutcherson told. “Also, in regards to gentrification, we’re pushing out long-term community residents that have been here for generations. There are so many other ways the city could be using this money instead of policing.
If you were talking about it for years why all of a sudden in 2021 did it end up on your city council meeting?about planned Cop Cities. “I am fully convinced that this is all just part of the state really striking back and saying: “As with all the Cop Cities that are planned, I feel like it is really concerning the way that government is looking to govern its own citizens. Cop City is not about protecting the people. It’s about protecting property, and it’s about militarizing this nation.”
