    I've been watching this police chief in Dallas in these interviews and I am nothing but impressed with the way he's handles himself along with his personal story.

    Yup, he is a class act. And I hadn't even known of his history until this morning.

    Absolutely!!!! What he said about the expectations (let the police handle it) of police officers in today's day in age is so spot on. I also love how he refers to his police officers as " his guys". That's a leader and a Boss any copper would respect and fight the good fight for.

    The NRA and gun advocates have been running their mouths for years about people having guns to use in armed insurrection against tyrannical government, so where do they stand on this? The Bundy clan were the people's heroes and this guy is a villain...I wonder what the difference between them is?
    Why is BLM taking heat and the NRA, who specifically advocates potential violence against agents of the government (cops) gets off the hook on responsibility for someone who actually did what they preach?

    He's been through a lot personally and professionally since becoming chief. I think what happened with his son would have been more than most people could bear. He's faced plenty of criticism during his tenure but I really respect how he handles himself and his detractors. He's as far away from the good old boy type of law enforcement you can get. I admire him and the job he's doing in the midst of horrible events and nationwide attention.

    the nra has never advocated violence against agents of the government; especially cops.
    the nra released this statement after dallas: "On behalf of the more than five million members of the National Rifle Association, and especially on behalf of our members from the law enforcement community, I want to express the deep anguish all of us feel for the heroic Dallas law enforcement officers who were killed or wounded, as well as those who so bravely ran to danger to defend the city and people of Dallas, the statement said. "With heavy hearts, NRA members honor their heroism and offer our deepest condolences to their families."

    I have read in multiple places that that is generally not the case with him though. He fires officers publicly, which the cops and union obviously have major problems with and he is at the front on progressive tactics and community relations.

    There's something happening here
    What it is ain't exactly clear
    There's a man with a gun over there
    Telling me I got to beware

    I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down

    There's battle lines being drawn
    Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
    Young people speaking their minds
    Getting so much resistance from behind

    It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down

    What a field-day for the heat
    A thousand people in the street
    Singing songs and carrying signs
    Mostly say, hooray for our side

    It's s time we stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down

    Paranoia strikes deep
    Into your life it will creep
    It starts when you're always afraid
    You step out of line, the man come and take you away

    We better stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    Stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    Stop, now, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    Stop, children, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down

    If he cares about his officers, he worries for their integrity and public image and takes steps to improve these items so that the streets are less hostile as cops do their jobs.

    The good cops would likely embrace such support.

    I don't disagree a little bit. I am just pointing out that historically I have read that he is not terribly respected by the rank and file. Police Unions have a lot of power to influence perception...

    And herein lies the problem with unions: never too concerned with its predominantly strong performers... mostly concerned with its weaker members.

    Wow! Talk about deja vu. I remember those days like it was yesterday (Springfield played that song at my high school when I was on stage crew. That was just a few years ago, right?) And here we are going round and round in that circle game. When will it stop???
