Why now? Why does he speak only now? Obamalaw is why.
It’ll be interesting to see where this goes. Arrest quotas should never be tolerated. If more officers substantiate this guy’s claims, then an overhaul of that dept. is in order.
They had mass resignations from Dallas PD just last month. Nearly 50 of them in one month!
That tells the real story.
The cop is criticizing the chief from the left, it appears. Kind of odd.
Wait wait wait: those things are illegal. Getting arrested for those things should not come as a surprise.
So, is Novello saying the arrestees are innocent, or just that it is not fair that they were arrested for their crimes?
I do not want public intoxication, nor do I want to me and my family to have to walk through plumes of pot smoke, and I say that as a person who loves pot.
This guy may have some valid points, but the fact that he brings it up before his fellow officers are laid to rest makes me doubt his motives.
That is what I suspected all along. This man has the knowledge and deserves accolades. All of this “community dialog “ crap is BS. Police aren’t being paid to go shoot basket balls with “Yutts” Or have dialogue. They need to do their sworn duty to uphold the law or go get hired to do social work. This is very dangerous to them and to the citizens to be goody two shoes and not do what they are paid to do. People need to obey the law or go to the justice system for due process and proper punishment. I don’t like police profiling Blacks to go make sycophantic phony friends with them. This police chief should have anticipated this ambush and protected his officers. . It was his responsibility— not grandstanding on TV. I’m glad I don’t live in Dallas .

The union thugs have been after Brown since he started making all the cops actually do cop-like work. Yes, he has implemented some more “community” type work, but the real riff is that he has them working different shifts, long shifts, and actually making them be a part of the neighborhood in which they work.
My in-laws live in west Dallas, and that part of Dallas used to be one of the worst in the city. Since Brown implemented his changes, the police actually came to neighborhood parties and introduced themselves, gave out their business cards, and really got involved.
The difference has been noticeable and the police presence is now seen as a plus, and not a negative.
This is union thugs pissed that they aren’t getting their cherry topped, easy life, now that they hung around long enough to get cushy jobs! But, in fairness, Brown himself has been seen walking a beat in downtown, and other parts of the city. The unions hate him, but many of the rank and file (I have several friends who are on the DPD and surrounding cities) actually see that he is trying to make things better.
