| 2016-07-12 |
| 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." |

| #5 Maybe they need to put it to a vote to decide who wants and who doesn't want police protection. |

| #4 In order to be effective they will have to become part of the police culture. That will make them unwelcome in black communities despite the color of their skin. |

| #3 These people are already employed, and they do not seek to resolve the existing problems, but only to exploit them. |

| #2 I watched him through the whole crises. He is a good Police Chief, a good leader. He knows they probably won't join but he at least presented an option. |
