Question 1: I read your article on the Dallas Police officers who are under investigation for being involved in a pyramid scheme. How did you go about getting the memo from the City Council?

Question 2: What was it like collecting data to write that kind of press release? Because it was an ongoing investigation, was the data more difficult to collect? What did you have to do to get around the barriers of gathering information to compose this piece?

Question 3: What kind of social media presence can/should a journalist have? Especially if you're covering a law enforcement or a political/government beat, how much personal opinion can you present on your social media page especially when it comes to social issues. For example, with the recent Texas abortion decision, where is the line about what a journalist could say/retweet about their opinion on it?

Question 4: What obstacles have you encountered when working with law enforcement? Have you ever had to quit working on a story because you couldn't get enough information from officials?

Textbooks have mentioned that journalists should make more of an effort to include solutions in articles that might talk about the  negative parts of society like including advice from experts. I'm curious about your opinion on this especially from a law enforcement perspective. Do you think this should be an expectation of journalists? Do you think providing solutions is even possible in law enforcement reporting? and if so, how might one go about this on the law enforcement beat without sounding less objective and without muddling the news you're reporting on?
