The warnings and the high-profile campaign against the so-called Dallas Hero propositions mattered little in the end. Two of the three propositions — Proposition S that gives any Dallas resident license to sue the city and Proposition U that unrealistically mandates the hiring of hundreds more police officers — passed.

Former and current Dallas city leaders warned that the so-called HERO amendments sound good but could have disastrous results. However, voters approved two of them anyway.
