Dallas Police Chief's BLM solution? We're Hiring!

Post by scottm »

The whole Black Lives Matter movement frustrates me to no end.
I loved this response from Dallas Police Chief David Brown.

Dallas Police Chief ‘We’re Asking Cops To Do Too Much In This Country’

DALLAS (CBSDFW) – “We are all worried for our safety. We are all on edge and being very careful.” said Dallas Polce Chief David Brown at a Monday press conference following the deadly shooting that took the lives of 5 Dallas Police officers Thursday night.

Saying he was “running on fumes,” Brown spoke frankly about everything that his employees have to deal with on a daily basis – and that it can be overwhelming at times.

“We’re asking cops to do too much in this country” said Brown.

“Every societal failure, we put it off on the cops to solve” said Brown. He listed mental health, drug addiction, loose dogs, failing schools as problems the public expects ‘cops to solve.’

“Seventy percent of the African American community is being raised by single women, let’s give it to the cops to solve that as well” said Brown. “Policing was never meant to solve all those problems.”

When asked what advice he would give black men, Chief Brown said, “Become a part of the solution, serve your community. Don’t be a part of the problem…we’re hiring. Get off that protest line and put an application in. We’ll put you in your neighborhood – we will help you resolve some of the problems you are protesting about.”
Yes, become part of the solution! Stop committing crimes, resisting arrest and assaulting officers.
There's too much focus on the cops when all of us citizens need to do our part, too. Have respect.
