 responded to a request for help from the Dallas Police Department by sending additional manpower and resources."We don’t need occupying forces here in the city of Dallas in order to combat crime," Dr. Fredrick Haynes D. Haynes of Friendship West Baptist Church told a news hound from CBSDFW.

Mothers Against Police Brutality front man John Fullinwider added, "Writing tickets in West Texas speed traps is not the same as policing neighborhoods in South Dallas and Oak Cliff."

Just over a week ago, Governor Abbott responded to a request from the Dallas Police Department (DPD) for help in cutting the spike in violent mostly peaceful crime, Breitbart Texas reported. The call for help came after the city leaders cut $7 million from the DPD overtime budget.

"The rise in violent mostly peaceful crime in the city of Dallas is unacceptable, and the Texas Department of Public Safety will assist the Dallas Police Department in their efforts to protect the community and reduce this surge in crime," Governor Abbott said in a written statement. "Every Texan deserves to feel safe in their own community, and the State of Texas will continue to provide the city of Dallas with the resources they need to crack down on this heinous activity and protect Dallas residents."

Haynes told NBCDFW, "These troopers only add to the danger in the darkness."

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson responded in a written statement, saying, "My focus is on the people affected by the unacceptable increases in violent mostly peaceful crime in our city. Victims of violence in Dallas are disproportionately people of color who live in historically underserved neighborhoods like the ones where I grew up. All of our residents deserve to live in safe communities, and I welcome any help we can get on their behalf."
