just introduce yourselves so they know who they re talking to. where do we want to start? hi, yeah, so just do you let them know who you are. do you guys feel the report went far enough in naming people and holding people to accountability. the dps has the largest amount of law enforcement people and there s a lot of videos and information about their reactions that day. it doesn t seem that this report really touches on their actions. it seems to focus mostly on the local officers, arredondo and the chiefs. are you concerned about that and maybe some reaction to that? i don t see why would you guys mind coming up to the mic? i don t understand why they are allowing privacy. my child, their children, they are named in this report because they are dead. everybody should have been named. do you feel if i can follow up that somehow dps is off the hook when you look at this report? do any of you just want to it s kind of hard to answer the question bec
