His son died after being shot 12 times by police officers and his brother was murdered by drug dealers. He has risen to run one of the largest police departments in the nation in his efforts to stop police brutality. He is Chief David Brown, head of the Dallas Police Department. This week he saw five of his officers murdered during a peaceful rally in Dallas. He is one of many #HeroesInBlue actively working to make our communities a better, safer place..
People are saying Chief David Brown let his officers get killed, because he told them not to wear riot gear so not to intimidate BLM protest..
I don't even see how riot gear would of prevented high powered bullets .. The fact that none of the officers shot were in any type of formation or crowd control..
I am no longer "in the middle" on this. Cops are no heroes, at the same time that black kid in the video provided by Orison is also wrong Cops are not there to be white supremacists. How is a black man a white supremacist? Or a Mexican? Or a Chinese? Does happen, I'm sure, but I never heard of it myself. Wait until you and your are run off the road by an apparent drunk, and after reporting it to the police the cop knocks you down and hits your wife. Yeah, I forgot. Let's praise the cops no matter what. Let us bow down and kiss their bless-ed wittle feet so they can feel good about themselves. There is supposed to be a due process, didn't you know that? A fair trial before a jury of your peers...? Remember Sylvester Stallone? "Judge Dredd"? It's just a goddamn movie. It's SUPPOSED TO BE just a goddamn movie. But to the police, it's not. They don't care about right or wrong, they just want their fucking paycheck. They don't worship Jesus or God or Allah or whatever "god(s)" they claim. They worship the dollar bill. It pays their living expenses, covers putting their kids through school, they have no concern for you and I. Try this- Loganville, Georgia– Man tries to resuscitate his son and is assaulted by cops.

So try this one- In 2015, 130 cops, total, died in the line of duty. Out of that... • 8 died because of 9/11 related illness; • 2 in accidents (one was a prison maintenance accident and another an ATV accident); • 1 died in an aircraft accident (killed while en route to mandatory in service training); • 3 died after being assaulted (criminal-related); • 27 died because in automobile accidents (3 criminal-related); • 6 died because of bombs (overseas military duty does not count); • 1 Drowned (accidental); • 2 died from “duty related illness” (1 criminal-related, 1 rescue-related); • 1 died in a fall (criminal-related); • 39 died from gunfire (all criminal-related); • 2 died because of accidental gun fire (training-related); • 17 died from heart attacks (2 criminal-related, 2 rescue-related); • 3 died in motorcycle accidents (not criminal-related); • 4 died after being struck by vehicles (all criminal-related); • 5 died in vehicle pursuit (all criminal-related); • 8 died from vehicular assaults (all criminal-related); • 1 in a Weather/Natural disaster (not criminal-related); Because of criminal activity: 66 Because of rescue activity: 3 Not criminal or rescue related: 68 People killed by cops- • 1,208 Ratio 1:9; One cop down, NINE innocent people murdered. And that's if we count ALL of the cops killed in the line of duty. 1:18.; One cop down, EIGHTEEN innocent people murdered. And that's if it's just those killed while in pursuit of a, or in contact with a, criminal.

The cops, they have guns. And they come onto you en-masse if you do anything wrong. And you might be unarmed. Or maybe it your 7 year old daughter, instead. I'm not saying that it's ok to kill cops, and I'm not saying the cops deserved it. But I have been on the receiving end too many times of the cops having their temper flares, their hissy fits, acting like they really are gods. That just might be your son next time (http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865618826/Saratoga-Springs-police-illegally-shot-killed-Darrien-Hunt-lawsuit-claims.html & http://fox13now.com/2014/11/06/new-footage-from-fatal-shooting-of-darrien-hunt-released-family-attorney-responds/ What if the kid did have a real sword? Utah is an Open Carry state).
Saw the raw video of the baton rouge guy, he did have a freakin gun in his hand. That's not broadcast across mainstream media out of respect for the dead and its icky, but not doing so leads to misinformation Also saw the raw video of Micah Johnson, he did for some reason reach down the front of his pants as the cop was pointing a gun at him at close range. Maybe that's what they should teach kids in school. If a cop is pointing a gun at you. Keep ya freakin hands up! If I was the cop, I wouldn't have taken the chance he was just scratching himself or whatever
