Before July 7, 2016, most Americans didn’t now who David Brown, the police chief in Dallas, was. His leadership after the sniper attack on Dallas police officers as they were providing protection for a Black Lives Matter even protesting them, made his name known by Americans around the country.

On Thursday, Chief Brown shocked not only the city of Dallas but also the rest of the country by announcing that he is retiring. This comes less than two months after that heinous attack by a Black Lives Matter supporter who wanted to kill as many white cops as possible. The sniper attack left five officers dead.

Brown, who has been on the force for 33 years, stated that his resignation is effective October 22. He did not give any detailed plans about his future plans in his statement, which you can read below.

After much prayer, I am announcing my retirement from the Dallas Police Department after 33 years as a Dallas police officer.  My retirement will be effective October 22, 2016.

Serving the citizens of Dallas in this noble profession has been both a true honor and a humbling experience.

Thank you to Mayors, City Managers and Dallas City Council members past and present for allowing me to serve. Thank you for the service you have provided for this great city.

...

Finally, I want to acknowledge my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for my life, health, and strength.  I pray for His continued blessings over my life.

Congratulations, Chief Brown, on a long and distinguished career in service to the community.  You wisdom and sacrifice made things better, a noble aspiration and increasingly rare in these times.
