DALLAS POLICE CHIEF, DAVID BROWN

DALLAS - Dallas Police Department Chief David Brown said he and his family received death threats after his officers were killed Thursday night.

The chief talked about his own safety, mental health and the health of the officers in his department during a press conference Monday morning. He said he’s close to mandating counseling services for all his officers.

“We are all worried for our safety. We are all on edge and being very careful,” he said.

When asked about additional suspects, Brown said he is still not convinced that Johnson was working along. He promised that his investigators will follow all leads and exhaust every avenue just to be sure no one else was involved.

Clearly exhausted, Brown talked about the number of challenges his department is facing such as violence in schools, dangerous dogs, gun control, a high rate of officer resignations and now protests. He said policing can never solve all of the city’s problems.

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

He encouraged those who have been protesting to get off the protest line and apply for a job.

“We’re hiring,” he said. “We’ll give you an application. We’ll help you resolve some of the problems you’re protesting about.”

It's not as if blacks aren't welcome in the police force....the question ( which might sound racist but really isn't ) is this -- how many of them will MEET the educational/physical/psychological/disciplinary qualifications?

THIS is leadership!

That's the rub. So often, people get mocked with "get a job ya bum" but then when they do apply, they don't qualify for any of the decent jobs that are available (well, unless you want to be a cashier—there are plenty of those jobs to go around!). That goes for any race.
