All citizens and public servants deserve to feel respected and safe. Everyone agrees, but how does that happen?
Maybe we should look to people such as Dallas Chief Brown for guidance. The Chief grew up a black kid in inner city Dallas who became a police officer. He gave up a full ride to college in order to serve his community. He lost a brother, a partner, and a son to violence. His son was killed in a shootout with police. Brown survived tragedy and became a strong leader. No doubt you've heard all this.
Too many, particularly in leadership, have political agendas when addressing these issues. I'd rather see someone like Chief Brown frequent the Whitehouse rather than Al Sharpton.
