The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: Local groups representing police are frustrated with Dallas Police Chief David Brown. They say he's to blame for low morale and a "broken system." 

Also, the Nasher Sculpture Center gave out its inaugural prize last night to Colombian sculptor Doris Salcedo.

Finally, a new documentary called "Meet the Patels" follows an experience many young Indians are familiar with -- matchmaking.
