re: Dallas police chief says ‘we’re asking cops to do too much in this country’

Somewhat off topic, but they replayed what the chief said today on 105.3 the fan in the metroplex and followed up with some callers who called in Friday morning to the station.

The one that really impressed me was a black man who said he was a grandfather said he had always hated cops and never trusted them. He said his grandkids were with him the night of the shootings and one of them finally asked him, "Grandpa, why do you hate the police?"

He said right then he knew he was wrong all those years and that he'll never have a bad thing to say about a cop again after what happened. It was something that made me think/hope that we're moving in the right direction.
