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.”
Could not agree more with Chief Brown.
They are asked to do too much, but now POLICE are burdened with regulations that further imperil their already endangered lives, as even now routine traffic stops are no longer “routine”.
National Guard needs to saddle up.
“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.”
Clockwork Black becomes the new Clockwork Orange.
Time for the Fergeson Effect to be felt in every city where the #blackliesmatter protesters are.
Like Barbara Billingsly famously said in “Airplane!”:
N*gga don’ wan’ no he’p, N*gga don’ get no he’p!
(BTW that was the original — it has been overdubbed to “Sucka” on every copy I have watched in the last 20 years)
Bad idea. BLMers have no business carrying a badge and a gun. We have too many thugs in uniform already.
That’s true. At this point the National Guard should be called out.
Your MSM and Usurper in the Blight House are playing with themselves thinking what they’ve created.
No family values, no morality, weak reprimands, no accountability. If I were a police chief, I’d mention these points and announce my guys would be taking the week off for R&R. Let the pajama boys and snowflakes get mugged.
I am a naysayer on this. Cops need to be respectful of all citizenry. The problem today are cops wanting to be overbearing, overwhelming, militarized, etc. They are no long engaging and working with citizens. We’ve seen this change over long period of time. Further, they show the worst of our interaction in communities, the bad apples tar the rest. If cops would out their bad colleagues, they might get more respect than just circling the wagon, regardless of the fault. We see them fight video taping, prefer obscurity to do what they often want, then deny it. That is the problem. If cops would be honest, would be respectful, they’d fair better. Are they doing too much? Maybe they might get off the speed traps and out of Dunkin Donuts and walk around and meet the people. Flame me...
Ha...fat chance that those worthless men will apply to be cops. They’d rather impregnate women to get a cut of several welfare checks and run some drugs on the side. Many are drama queens wanting to “make history,” and being high school drop outs, that is unlikely, unless you become part of a mob performing for the media pimps.
The problem is that so many have an arrest record like the guy in Minnesota. They’re unemployable.
MSNBC today had a BLM supporter say “Community safety is not predicated by police presence.”
Okey doke, then. They’re safe without cops.
This should save police departments a lot of money. They can use it to strengthen pensions.
Still won't solve the root problem.
LBJ's Great Society - The "gift" that keeps on giving.
Translation: Sharia "No Go" Zones.
The chief knows that, he is just pointing they are useless and are part of the problem. The protestors have no solution.
Let’s make a change, its time to get a national police service. We’ll call them storm troops and give them the best military and surveillance equipment available.
These aren’t some poorly equipped and poorly trained local PD. They would have to be the best trained storm fighters able to get the job done according to a politically correct curriculum.
Actually the word is “chump”.
Yes. Black crime is out of control. Blacks are a protected class, meaning that you lose your job for saying that they commit a lot of crime, and that they are free to shoot you up.

At any rate, consider yourself flamed. I've had a few hundred interactions with cops, maybe 20 or so when I was a "suspect" of sorts, and have yet to be wronged. I've dealt with cranky cops too. Not fun, but never escalated to force.
