the City of Fort Worth, has held numerous hearings and done in-depth investigation
into activities of the Fort Worth Police Department; and
WhEREAS, the Committee found that the greater majority of the rank and file

investigated and should be commended for the steadfast performance of their
duties in the face of unwarranted hostility and abuse generated, at least in
part, by the investigation and the attendant publicity; NOW, THEREFORE,
