The Dallas Police Department's undercover activities were prime topics for discussion at Bryan Adams High School.
Most students we talked with said indeed something should be done to curb the explosion of drug abuse at the school.
What some didn't like, though, was the fact that Dallas police officers posed as students to pull off the operation.
Most people are upset about it because the fact they snuck into the school and posed as students to burst, I mean, some of them were my friends.
They were 800 students at Bryan Adams.
And the police department singled out this school because of tips and drug abuse was widespread here for one or two of the school's principal.
Deedee Richardson says he believes the school's image will not be permanently hurt by the arrest because he says realistically, there's drug abuse at most What will likely happen at Bryan Adams is that blatant drug activity will simply shift to off campus.
As for the students, most believe the adverse publicity will subside and the school will be remembered for the things that are good about it, but something good about Bryan Adams.

The 1988 recruiting of a very young Michael Irvin in Florida with his family. In this video you will hear how young and high pitched number 88 sounded. Hear Emmitt Smith talk about Michael Irvin's mouth going non stop. The heir to the throne of the superstar wide receiver was the unbelievably entertaining wide receiver, Michael Irvin. Without a doubt, he is the most decorated of all the other Cowboys receivers. After being selected in the first round of the 1988 draft, he had to wait for his opportunity to flourish. In the first three seasons, he played in 32 of 50 games. While the start to Irvin’s career was slower than Pearson’s, Irving sure showed up with a bigger bang. In 1991 he caught 93 passes for 1,523 yards and eight touchdowns. He led the league in yards, made his first Pro Bowl, and was a first-team All-Pro. This was the start of a five-year span where Irvin would be one of the best wide receivers in the league. In the following four seasons, he made the Pro Bowl every year and eclipsed 1,200 yards each season. While he never led the league in receiving yards again during this span, he did place second twice. Put that alongside a catching percentage north of 60 percent each season. Let’s not forget the amazing runs in the playoffs during that great five-season period. Irvin played a key part in capturing not one, not two, but three Super Bowls. He was most effective during the ’92 and ’93 run when he eclipsed 200+ yards and 69+ percent catching percentage. Come the 1996 season, you can see Irvin began to slow down. He still had a very good season, catching 64 passes for 962 yards and two touchdowns in only 11 games. He led the league in receiving yards per game, but it was the last amazing season for Irvin. During the last three seasons from 1997 to 1999, Irvin’s catching percentage would remain under 60 percent. There was good production there, but you can see his career is starting to end. He did manage to get 1,180 yards and nine touchdowns in ’97, but he had a 47.8 percent catching percentage. In ’98 he had 1,057 yards and a 57.8 percent completion percentage, but only one touchdown. Overall, it was an unbelievable career for Irvin. Three Super Bowls, five Pro Bowls, one first-team All-Pro, all topped off with being enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Of course, the electric Irvin also has his name in the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor. Because of the loaded receivers in the ’90s, Irvin didn’t make the first-team All-Decade team. He did; however, make the second-team All-Decade team. From here, Irvin would go on to become an entertaining and successful analyst. He sat back and watched his Cowboys collapse until a bright spot emerged at his former spot once again. The Dallas Cowboys in the 1980s and the 1990s.
