Minority Men & Boys Still Top Murder Victims |
|
|
DPD is still struggling to get control of Dallas’s murder rate, and nonwhite men and boys are paying the ultimate price, according to Dallas’s crime overview dashboard. The City reports that there have been 216 murders in 2023 as of November, which is a 12.5% increase over the previous year.
Dallas’s City Council is unwilling to ask why Blacks and Hispanics continue to top the list of crime victims because of their ideological commitments to Woke pro-crime policies. Activist council members still believe that a lower police presence (or defunding the police entirely) will create “equity” and allow so-called “underserved” communities to rebuild their communities.

In reality, the inadequate police presence and the refusal of District Attorney John Creuzot to fully prosecute criminals have allowed crime to flourish in minority-dominant neighborhoods. Entire regions of Dallas are essentially no-go zones because of the violence that Dallas residents have come to expect.
The problem and the solution are obvious to honest residents of Dallas. Minorities suffer the most from violent crime because criminals are allowed to thrive in their neighborhoods. The solution is to put more cops on the street and enable them to do their job.
DPD is currently understaffed by nearly 1,000 officers. Hiring 1,000 police officers would increase DPD’s manpower by about 30% – imagine how much safer Dallas could be!
Keep Dallas Safe believes that Dallas residents of all ethnicities deserve to live in safe, peaceful neighborhoods.

Dallas’s Murder Rate is Still Up in 2023 |
It is fine to celebrate the minor decrease in “overall” crime in Dallas, but it is not okay to ignore that the murder rate is still up! DPD has enacted a smart plan to divide the city into grids and focus resources on crime hotspots, but the plan will never be effective with an understaffed police department. DPD needs to move from 3,000 to 4,000 police officers ASAP. Read more...

Driver in Fatal Car Crash Faces Intoxication Manslaughter Charges |
In recent years, police departments have been defunded, and individual officers have been martyred because of opportunistic Left-wing protests. Thus, to avoid traffic stops that endanger their lives and careers, police have simply decided to make fewer stops. The result is more drunk driving, more car wrecks, and more death. Read more...

Each week the KDS team drives its planned route through Dallas photo-documenting and cataloguing illegal encampments to inform the city of these locations. Our team livestreams these activities giving the community a first-hand look at the vagrancy crisis in Dallas. In this episode, we discovered a HUGE tent colony at LBJ and SH-75!

District 10 Councilwoman Kathy Stewart's
"Picket Fence Camp" |
We named this camp in Kathy Stewart’s District 10 “Picket Fence Camp.” Vagrants in this district have created their own little neighborhood next to one of Dallas’s busiest intersections, yet hidden from view. This is why Dallas’s homeless population is woefully underestimated: there are dozens of huge camps that we don’t even know exist! |

District 6 Councilman Omar Narvaez's
"Junk Camp" |
This camp in Omar Narvaez’s District 6 has been dubbed “Junk Camp.” Many camps are hidden from public view, but there is no excuse for ignoring the vagrancy crisis when vagrants are living like this beside busy highways. Tarps and bike parts are strewn all around this drainage ditch next to I-35. Councilman Narvaez can’t claim to care about the problem while this is happening in his backyard. |

District 6 Councilman Omar Narvaez's
"Frankenstein Camp" |
This camp in Omar Narvaez’s District 6 has earned the title “Frankenstein Camp.” This camp is made up of a tent, but not in any way that makes sense. Vagrants are often mentally ill or severely addicted to drugs, so their camps are often bizarre and cluttered. It should be extremely apparent to everyone how badly Dallas's homeless population needs centralized services! |
