On Thursday, the Dallas Police Department released a video that championed police taking a knee in solidarity with people protesting the death of George Floyd, ending with Dallas Police Chief Renee Hall getting down on one knee.
The video begins with the statement: “To the communities we serve: We hear you. But before we move forward, we need to pause.” The video shows various police officers hugging people or kneeling with them, continuing, “To listen before we speak. And to kneel before we stand.” Then the video shows a row of police kneeling with protesters as the screen reads, “We join those in law enforcement who are stopping, listening and kneeling,” before the screen reads “Because Black lives do matter.”
The video then shows Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo telling a crowd, “If you’ve got hate in your heart for people of color, get over it. Because this city is a minority majority city. And this city is a city where blacks and whites and browns and legal and illegal all get together! Because we judge each other by the content of our hearts.”
Another policeman is featured saying, “I understand their frustrations. We just got to continue to try to do our best,” followed by another officer telling a crowd, “Let me take a knee with you. You’re going to have to help me up, though,” before he arises and states, “What happened to George Floyd was wrong.”
Another policeman tells a crowd, “We want to be with y’all, for real. So I took my helmet off and laid the batons down; I want to make this a parade, not a protest.”
Durham, North Carolina, Police Chief Cerlelyn &#8220;CJ&#8221; Davis <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/anymore-head-black-police-chiefs-group-calls-nationwide/story?id=71041580">states</a>,“We’ve got to continue to work together so that these types of opportunities to heal are done in a way where everyone is respected.”
The end of the video features Dallas Police Chief Renee Hall, accompanied by two other policeman and two other people who look like civilians, all getting down on one knee as she states. “Let’s work together to end racism.”
Author and pundit Dana Loesch responded, “Decent people abhor both injustice and moral deficiencies like racism and can do so without taking a knee. I take a knee to God in prayer and before His throne only but I’ll stand with the righteous against injustice.”

WATCH: Dallas Police Dept. Releases Video Championing Taking A Knee To Fight Racism

Dallas

Police

[WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT]
A man was brutally beaten on the streets of Dallas on Saturday night as riots by extremists continued to break out in major cities across the U.S.
The &#8220;man is currently stable in the hospital, police said, after being assaulted by a group of people in the Victory Park area of Dallas,&#8221; CBS News Dallas <a href="https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2020/05/31/victim-assault-video-dallas-confronted-protesters-machete-protect-neighborhood-police-say/">reported</a>. &#8220;Police said the incident happened in the 2200 block of North Lamar Street near the House of Blues when the man went there with a machete to &#8216;allegedly protect his neighborhood from protesters.'&#8221;
Details surrounding the incident were not clear but The Blaze&#8217;s Elijah Schaffer, who posted the video, <a href="http://archive.is/BzfOL">wrote</a> on Twitter: &#8220;Man critically injured at Dallas riots. It appears he attempted to defend a shop with a large sword. Looters ran at him, then he charged rioters. They then beat him with a skateboard and stoned him with medium sized rocks. I called an Ambulance and it’s on the way&#8221;
Schaffer apparently did not post the full video the first time and released a second longer clip some time later that appeared to add additional footage to the incident.
In the second video, Schaffer wrote: &#8220;Full unedited video for editorial requests. Please attribute to Elijah Schaffer of Blaze TV. I cannot confirm he was the store owner, but I pulled out my camera when I saw him appearing to defend a store, then he was rushed, then made the move that might have cost him his life.&#8221;

&#8220;The victim went to the 2200 block of N.

He was transported to an area hospital where he remains in stable condition. This remains an ongoing investigation.&#8221;

Protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis

Man Brutally Beaten On Streets Of Dallas By Large Group

George Floyd

Riots

Shelley Luther, the Dallas salon owner who was jailed this week for defying the county&#8217;s stay-at-home order when she opened up her business, joined Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday night, where she got an unexpected surprise.
After describing the situation with the <a href="https://heavy.com/news/2020/05/eric-moye-judge/">Democrat activist</a> judge who ordered her to serve a week in jail and pay a $7,000 fine, Luther said that she opened her business because she was behind on her mortgage and her stylists were also struggling to make ends meet.
&#8220;I’m two months behind on my mortgage and my stylists were telling me that they wanted to, you know, what do you think if I do underground and go to people’s houses?&#8221; Luther said. &#8220;And I just said, you know, that’s not a good idea because we can’t control the environment there. We don’t know if it’s been disinfected or anything like that. And I just decided I would open to create a safe place for the stylists, and to make sure I wasn’t the reason they weren’t making money.&#8221;
&#8220;We tried to use the gloves at first and that’s kind of hard for the hair stylists,&#8221; Luther continued. &#8220;The nail techs of course did, but we made sure that I had no clients waiting inside the salon at all. So I had chairs six feet apart outside of the salon so we had no one waiting, and when a stylist was ready, wearing a mask of course, didn’t let any clients come in without a mask. They instantly sanitized their hands. The hair stylists sanitized their hands and they came in, they did the cut and that person left. And so there were no magazines and there were no drinks. And of course everybody had to wear a mask to come in.&#8221;
A few moments later, Hannity told Luther that he was going to be making a donation to her shop because he wanted her and her employees to be able to make it through the economic crisis.

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>SEAN HANNITY, FOX NEWS HOST: Shelley Luther, thank God you’re free. How are you doing?
SHELLEY LUTHER, SALON A LA MODE OWNER: I’m doing a lot better now. Thank you so much.
HANNITY: When the judge said to apologize, we had your boyfriend on last night. So it reminded me of William Wallace in “Braveheart”. The prisoner would like to speak a word. You need to apologize &#8212; what where you thinking when he said you need to apologize to the politicians. I was like, what?
LUTHER: I don’t &#8212; I think he was referring to Clay Jenkins, the, you know, county commissioner. That was the last thing I was going to do honestly because the way that he has acted during this entire thing is just ridiculous. So I &#8212; I just couldn’t &#8212; I couldn’t bring myself to apologize.
HANNITY: A good &#8212; I admire your courage. How was jail? I’m sure it wasn’t pleasant. And I heard there’s corona virus in that jail.
LUTHER: It’s definitely not pleasant but fortunately I had a cell by myself. It had a rec area that had other individuals in there. The worst thing was that I didn’t get to call anybody when I got there the whole first night and that’s kind of scary because I have, you know, a daughter that just turned 17 at home. And if my boyfriend wasn’t there to tell, you know, talk to her or anything she &#8212; I wouldn’t have come home and she wouldn’t have known where I was.
HANNITY: That’s pretty scary. Tell us why you decided to open? And what measures for safety did you take?
LUTHER: Well, it wasn’t, I mean, we were shutdown March 22nd so it had been several weeks that, you know, the government was kind of telling us the money was coming and the &#8212; actually the Dallas County Judge &#8212; Clay Jenkins kept pushing back the date of when we would open. Weeks out in advance before even hearing any new comings of what was going on with masks or whatever and when he finally pushed it back a final time I just said &#8212; I just woke up one day and I said, I have to open. My stylists are calling me. They’re not making their mortgage. I was &#8212; at &#8212; right now I still am not caught up.
I’m two months behind on my mortgage and my stylists were telling me that they wanted to, you know, what do you think if I do underground and go to people’s houses? And I just said, you know, that’s not a good idea because we can’t control the environment there. We don’t know if it’s been disinfected or anything like that and I just decided I would open to create a safe place for the stylists. And to make sure I wasn’t the reason they weren’t making money.
HANNITY: Which I had heard you did. This thing is real. I’m in New York. I see this from a different perspective. What we &#8212; when you opened were you all wearing masks? Are you planning to wear masks? How do you plan on doing it? But as I saw, like, I was actually impressed with Georgia they have this nail salons. They have this plexiglass, everyone’s in masks and gloves. You were using all that I heard.
LUTHER: Yes. Yes &#8212; we weren’t using &#8212; we tried to use the gloves at first and that’s kind of hard for the hair stylists. The nail techs of course did but we made sure that I had no clients waiting inside the salon at all. So I had chairs six feet apart outside of the salon so we had no one waiting and when a stylist was ready, wearing a mask of course, didn’t let any clients come in without a mask. They instantly sanitized their hands. The hair stylists sanitized their hands and they came in, they did the cut and that person left. And so &#8212;
HANNITY: With a mask on I understand &#8212;
LUTHER: &#8212; there were no magazines and there were no drinks. And of course everybody had to wear a mask to come in.
HANNITY: How many people work for you?
LUTHER: They don’t work for me but I usually have about 19 stylists in there at a time.
HANNITY: I’m going to make a donation to your shop. I want you and your workers to at least get over the hump. You can pass that on to our producers. I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’m glad you’re free and we’re praying that every business can open safely soon. And you showed a lot of courage, you’re an inspiration. Thank you.
LUTHER: Thank you so much.
HANNITY: More Hannity after this.
LUTHER: I really appreciate it.</blockquote>

Shelley Luther

Dallas Salon Owner Arrested For Opening Business Gets Big Surprise From Hannity During Interview

Coronavirus

Texas

A GoFundMe account for Shelley Luther, who made national headlines after she was sentenced to 7 days in jail after refusing to tell a court she was &#8220;selfish&#8221; for reopening her salon despite an ongoing stay-at-home order, has now been officially closed to new donations after racking up a stunning $500,110 in just a few days.
&#8220;Shelley Luther is an American Hero that has decided to resist tyranny by opening her business against an unlawful State Executive Order,&#8221; reads the <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/shelley-luther-fund">GoFundMe page</a> set up on behalf of Luther by Rick Hire of Richmond, Texas. &#8220;Her business, SALON A LA MODE offers services for hair and nails, microblading, permanent makeup, professional event makeup, braiding and more! Shelley and her team will likely face legal action, fines, and more during her journey back to freedom. She is doing what everyone else is only talking about, in a patriotic move to take back her liberty! Please support Shelley, and her employees by contributing to this worthy cause. You will not just be supporting Shelley, but you will be supporting the idea that our founders put in writing in the Constitution. 100% of all donations will go directly to Shelley Luther.&#8221;
Shelley was slapped with a $7,000 fine and sentenced to a week behind bars on Tuesday by Dallas Judge Eric Moye after she refused to say that she was wrong to open her salon.
&#8220;Judge, I would like to say that I have much respect for this court and laws and that I have never been in this position before, and it’s not someplace that I want to be,&#8221; she told Moye. &#8220;But I have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that I’m selfish because feeding my kids is not selfish. I have hair stylists that are going hungry because they’d rather feed their kids. So, sir, if you think the law is more important than kids getting fed, then please go ahead with your decision, but I am not going to shut the salon.&#8221;
Luther&#8217;s lawyer Warren Norred maintains that her client was “unlawfully arrested and jailed.”
“I’m concerned that the judicial system in Dallas is more concerned for one perspective on the rule of law than it is the plight of working people trying to make a living,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tx-lt-gov-dan-patrick-to-pay-7k-fine-of-arrested-salon-owner-offers-to-serve-her-jail-sentence-so-she-can-work">said</a> Norred. “Though the rule of law is cited by the court, there exists no exception for cities to the general rule that an injunction must be supported by a bond. Without an enforceable injunction, no contempt can be found. Our position is that Ms. Luther has been unlawfully arrested and jailed. I hope to obtain a writ of habeas corpus very soon.”
Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, who demanded Wednesday that Luther be immediately released, also announced that he would personally pay the fine and serve the jail sentence on her behalf. Meanwhile, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-texas-salon-owner-shelley-luther-released-from-prison">The Daily Wire</a> reported, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) &#8220;has since amended his executive orders so Texans who attempt to work against state orders will not be subject to confinement.&#8221;
Amid massive public pressure and with both the Texas governor and lt. governor condemning Moye&#8217;s ruling, the Texas Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-texas-salon-owner-shelley-luther-released-from-prison">ordered</a> Thursday that Luther be released while the court considers her petition.
Upon her release Thursday, an emotional Luther was met with cheering supporters. &#8220;I&#8217;m a little overwhelmed, and I don&#8217;t wanna scare the kids, I&#8217;m okay,&#8221; she said. &#8220;But I just want to thank all of you I just barely met. And now you&#8217;re all my friends. You mean so much to me and this would have been nothing without you. Thank you so, so much.&#8221;

High Angle View Of Paper Currency On American Flag

GoFundMe For Dallas Salon Owner Raises Massive Money

On Tuesday, a Dallas, Texas, woman who was sentenced to a week in jail and a $7,000 fine for opening her salon in defiance of state orders delivered a poignant answer when the judge said he’d rescind the jail sentence if she admitted she was wrong.
After Dallas Judge Eric Moye told Salon À la Mode owner Shelley Luther that she had the option of acknowledging she was wrong and had been selfish, and should apologize to elected officials for violating their orders, Luther responded, “Judge, I would like to say that I have much respect for this court and laws and that I have never been in this position before and it’s not someplace that I want to be. But I have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that I’m selfish because feeding my kids — is not selfish. I have hair stylists that are going hungry because they’d rather feed their kids. So, sir, if you think the law is more important than kids getting fed, then please go ahead with your decision but I am not going to shut the salon.”
<a href="https://courtsportal.dallascounty.org/DALLASPROD/DocumentViewer/Embedded/SsVFbMXUbTMZOmrI6jiVKmt23jp8S3VxopsIjjnjAIO4cUFdA0WWlxXN6XT5BSnS6Tcn8BgEZ9q7va7COvGdsQ2?p=0">Court documents</a> stated, “On April 8, 2020, this Court entered a Temporary Restraining Order. Defendants were served with said Order that same day. The Order specified that the Defendants were ordered to case operation of their business ‘Salon a La Mode.’ The Order further enjoined and restrained the Defendants from continuing the operation of their business the salon.”
The documents continued:
<blockquote>On April 29, 2020, Defendants, despite having been served with the Order, refused to cease operations of the Salon … Several customers of the Salon were present each day, receiving the services of the Salon … The refusal of the Defendants to cease operation of the Salon, despite the clear and unambiguous language which instructed them to do so constitutes criminal contempt of this Court. The defiance of the Court’s Order was open, flagrant, and intentional. The Defendants, although having been given an opportunity to do so, have expressed no contrition, remorse or regret for their contemptuous action.</blockquote>
Moye sentenced Luther to seven days in jail for criminal and civil contempt. CBS Dallas reported, “She and her business are also each being fined $500 for every day… seven in all so far… that it was open in violation of the governor’s order.” That daily fine will end May 8.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins had sent Luther a cease-and-desist letter, but last week Luther publicly tore it apart. Last Wednesday, Luther stated, &#8220;Apparently there&#8217;s a very good chance that I&#8217;m getting arrested today and I will do everything I can to keep the shop open because I&#8217;m not closing the store. If they arrest me I have someone that will keep the store open because it&#8217;s our right to keep the store open. It&#8217;s our right for those women to earn income for their families.&#8221;

WATCH: Salon Owner Sentenced To Week In Jail For Opening Delivers Poignant Response To Judge

Hair salon

A tornado ripped through north Dallas Sunday night, leaving massive wreckage, tens of thousands of people out of power, and first responders going door to door to check on residents. Multiple videos have since emerged capturing the harrowing moment as the tornado tore through the city.
&#8220;The City of Dallas is currently assessing the damages as a result of a storm with a radar-confirmed tornado that came through the Dallas area at approximately 9 p.m. on Sunday, October 20,&#8221; the City of Dallas said in a <a href="https://content.govdelivery.com/bulletins/gd/TXDALLAS-2673acb?wgt_ref=TXDALLAS_WIDGET_3">storm update</a> posted just after midnight, just hours after the hurricane first touched down. &#8220;At this time, there are no reports of fatalities or serious injuries.&#8221;
&#8220;The Dallas Police Department and Dallas Fire-Rescue are assessing damaged structures and will continue to do so throughout the night,&#8221; the release continued. &#8220;Currently, there are approximately 35 traffic signals with no communication and crews are responding for repairs.&#8221;
The release also cited reported gas leaks and encouraged residents to &#8220;leave the area immediately and from a safe distance&#8221; if they smell or suspect a natural gas leak.
&#8220;According to Oncor, there are approximately 65,000 customers in Dallas experiencing a service interruption due to this storm,&#8221; the city said.
In response to the destruction and the power outage, the city opened up a shelter at the Bachman Recreation Center for residents and activated Dallas&#8217;s Emergency Operating Center to monitor the situation and provide further updates to residents.
<a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/weather/2019/10/19/thunderstorms-late-sunday-could-bring-hail-strong-winds-to-dallas-fort-worth/">The Dallas Morning News</a> reported Monday that first responders had been going &#8220;door to door in some neighborhoods to check on residents,&#8221; while &#8220;police and fire crews began assessing damaged structures through the night.&#8221;
The areas of the city hit particularly hard, the outlet reports, are parts of northern Dallas, including the Love Field area.
Flights out of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport were delayed until after 12:30 a.m. and that multiple schools in the district were closed Monday.
Early estimates say the tornado created wind speed easily topping 100 mph, Dallas Morning News notes.

Everyone has been moved by the remarkable story of forgiveness and mercy of <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/jury-deciding-sentence-police-officer-amber-guyger-wrong/story?id=66002182">Brandt Jean</a>, brother of Botham Jean — who was tragically killed last year by a Dallas police officer in his own apartment. A day later, it is impossible to scroll through any social media platform today and miss Brandt’s statement and the hug heard round the world.
Many have also taken note of <a href="https://youtu.be/y_qpdyAuLu4?t=125">Judge Tammy Kemp’s actions</a>. Not only did the presiding judge allow the transformational hug to occur; when sentencing was complete, Judge Kemp descended from the bench, grabbed her personal Bible, and presented it to the newly sentenced felon, Amber Guyger.
Sadly, not everyone sees the beauty of yesterday’s moment of reconciliation. Ignoring the example of humanity, healing, and mercy demonstrated by Brandt Jean and Judge Kemp, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) stepped in to ruin the moment, dividing with complaints rather than uniting with understanding.
This afternoon, the foundation of atheists, secularists, and “free-thinkers” filed a complaint with the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct (CJC). The CJC hears ethical concerns of the state’s judiciary: justices of the peace, judges, and justices. This isn’t the first time the Foundation has complained to the CJC.
The Foundation now <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2019/10/03/us/ap-us-dallas-officer-mistaken-apartment-judge.html">accuses</a> Judge Tammy Kemp of judicial misconduct for handing Guyger her personal Bible. They <a href="https://ffrf.org/news/news-releases/item/35774-amber-guyger-judge-s-proselytization-an-abuse-of-power-ffrf-charges">accuse</a> the judge — clearly moved by the example of mercy and kindness shown by the brother of the man slain by Guyger — of “abuse of power” and of using the “privilege of [her office] to preach [her] personal religious beliefs.”
Their complaint to the CJC demands that the commission “investigate these actions and educate Kemp on her obligation to remain neutral on matters of religion to prevent future misconduct.”
We at <a href="http://firstliberty.org/">First Liberty Institute</a> would be only too pleased to represent Judge Kemp, should she require a legal defense. Judge Kemp should be permitted to be human, including the parts of her humanity informed by her religious beliefs. Indeed, any judge that hands any holy writ to anyone in an effort to encourage the improvement of his or her life is worth legally defending.
Earlier today, my boss, Hiram Sasser, <a href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Judge-Kemps-Hug-Not-Embraced-by-All-After-Guygers-Trial-562089651.html">said</a>: “FFRF is protesting Judge Kemp rather than joining the rest of the nation celebrating the compassion and mercy Judge Kemp demonstrated. We should all be thankful the law allows Judge Kemp’s actions and we stand with her and will gladly lead the charge in defending her noble and legal actions.”
I can only add that what Brandt Jean and Judge Kemp have done for the community in demonstrating forgiveness, mercy, and grace has done more to restore hope, healing, and humanity for Dallas — and, let’s be honest, civility for the nation at-large — than any life sentence could have brought.
And, if you’re wondering about whether by the technical point of the law, the Foundation may have a point — please don’t. Our country has a longstanding tradition of understanding that our leaders have a professional, official role and yet may also retain their personal humanity. History is replete with examples of judges balancing their official duties, yet their faith also informing all aspects of their lives After <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf/17-1717_4f14.pdf">The American Legion v. AHA</a>, such longstanding, religiously expressive activities ought to be presumed constitutional.
This is not the first attack on the personal faith of public officials — not even this week. Earlier this week, the Foundation intimidated a sheriff from Alabama from taking part in a candlelight vigil over the increase of crime that is devastating his community. They recently forced a school district in Missouri to stop a team chaplain from praying with his football players after the game.
If the Foundation had its druthers, it would have the kind of government Justice Alito warned against in The American Legion: “A government that roams the land, tearing down monuments with religious symbolism and scrubbing away any reference to the divine will strike many as aggressively hostile to religion.”
Likewise, the Foundation would condemn, prosecute, and drive from office compassionate humans like Judge Tammy Kemp. Thankfully, the U.S. Constitution rejects demands that government commissions become, as Justice Alito wrote, “evocative, disturbing, and divisive” toward the religious beliefs of anyone — including judges.
Judge Kemp, if you’re reading this, thank you for being human. And call us if we can help.

Courtroom And Gavel

DYS: Judge Tammy Kemp Is A Model For Us All

Atheism

Bible

First Amendment

Religion

In one of the most powerful moments seen in an American court in decades, the younger brother of Botham Jean, the young black man who was mistakenly shot and killed by Dallas police officer Amber Guyger when she thought he was in her apartment, told Guyger after she was sentenced to 10 years in prison that he forgave her and hoped the court would not send her to jail, asked the judge if he could hug her, and asked that she devote her life to Jesus Christ.
Brandt Jean said emotionally, “I wasn’t ever going to say this in front of my family or anyone, but I don’t even want you to go to jail. I want the best for you because I know that’s exactly what Botham would want you to do. And the best would be to give your life to Christ. I’m not going to say anything else. I think giving your life to Christ would be the best thing that Botham would want you to do. Again, I love you as a person and I don’t wish anything bad on you.”
After taking several heavy breaths, he turned to the judge and said, “I don’t know if this is possible, but can I give her a hug, please? Please?
After a moment, the judge answered, “Yes.” Brandt Jean got up from his seat and he and Guyger met in a hug as many people in the court openly wept.
<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/02/us/amber-guyger-sentencing.html?smtyp=cur&amp;smid=tw-nytimes">The New York Times </a>reported, “A Dallas County jury deliberated for about an hour and a half before deciding upon a sentence that was well short of the maximum 99 years in prison Ms. Guyger could have received — but also longer than the two years jurors might have imposed.  Prosecutors had asked for a prison term of no shorter than 28 years, the age that Mr. Jean, whose birthday fell during the trial, would have been if he were alive today.”
In September 2018, Guyger, who was off-duty, had entered the apartment one floor directly above hers, which was Botham Jean&#8217;s, and thought there was an intruder. She opened fire, killing Botham Jean.
As <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/courts/2019/10/02/jurors-hear-testimony-sentencing-phase-amber-guygers-murder-trial/">The Dallas News</a> reported, outside the courtroom, there was anger over the verdict. Chants of &#8220;No justice, no peace,” were heard, as well as Dee Crane, the mother of Tavis Crane, who was shot by an Arlington police officer in 2017, crying, &#8220;How many of us does it take to get justice? What about my son? What about Botham Jean? How many of us is it going to take before you understand that our lives matter?&#8221; Rev. Michael Waters of of Joy Tabernacle African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church in south Dallas, echoed, &#8220;It&#8217;s amazing how quickly injustice can be seized from the hands of justice. This is a travesty.&#8221;
But inside the courtroom, the atmosphere was quite different; Judge Tammy Kemp, who wept when Brandt Jean and Guyger hugged, herself hugged Guyger as Guyger whispered in her ear. Kemp answered quietly, &#8220;Ma&#8217;am, it&#8217;s not because I am good. It&#8217;s because I believe in Christ. None of us are worthy. Forgive yourself.&#8221;
Kemp told the Jean family, &#8220;Thank you for the way you modeled Christ. I&#8217;m so sorry. I&#8217;m so sorry for your loss.&#8221;

Funeral Held For Botham Shem Jean, Who Was Killed By Dallas Police Officer Amber Guyger When She Entered Wrong Apartment

Must-Watch: Brother Of Man Killed By Female Cop Gives Shattering Speech Of Forgiveness

A masked shooter wearing combat gear and armed with an &#8220;assault-style rifle&#8221; who opened fire Monday morning on a federal courthouse in downtown Dallas was shot dead by authorities &#8212; his shooting spree ended before anyone else was injured.
The incident took place outside the Earle Cabell Federal Building in downtown Dallas, a federal courthouse that houses over 300 employees, including from the U.S. attorney&#8217;s office, U.S. Marshals Services, and a passport office. Tom Fox, a photographer with <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2019/06/17/shots-fired-federal-courthouse-downtown-dallas">The Dallas Morning News</a>, saw the shooter open fire on the courthouse.
&#8220;Fox said [the shooter] fired from the parking lot across the street toward him, another man, a security guard and a woman who was walking a golden retriever,&#8221; Dallas Morning News reports. &#8220;The windows in a revolving door and two side doors at one entrance were broken. It was unclear whether [the shooter] or law-enforcement personnel had shot the door.&#8221;
The shooter, who was wearing a mask, parked at a nearby intersection and appeared to run into the street to pick something up, said Fox. The shooter then began to open fire on the courthouse, cracking the glass door and sending bullets ricocheting off the building.
The FBI revealed Monday that the suspect was a 22-year-old man who was discharged from the U.S. Army in 2017 and has not been the subject of any previous federal investigation (his name is here withheld per Daily Wire policy). Neither FBI Special Agent Matthew DeSarno nor Northern District of Texas U.S. Attorney Erin Nealy Cox provided any speculation on a motive.
Federal investigators are currently looking into the shooter&#8217;s social media activity as part of their attempt to discover a motive, DeSarno said. &#8220;We are aggressively pursuing all his social media activity,&#8221; said the agent.
<a href="https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2019/06/17/a-storm-is-coming-guns-and-threats-highlight-alleged-dallas-shooter-brian-clydes-social-media/">CBS DFW</a> has since reported details on the shooter&#8217;s Facebook posts, including images of Civil War uniforms, &#8220;rants about the U.S. government &#8212; including talking about Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidians,&#8221; and images of ammo he had purchased. In one video he posted just a week before the shooting, he said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how much longer I have &#8230; the storm is coming &#8230; let&#8217;s do it,&#8221; at which point he held up one of his guns.

The Dallas Morning News reports that police detonated a &#8220;suspicious device&#8221; found in the shooter&#8217;s 2003 Nissan Altima that he had driven to the scene. &#8220;The blast was strong enough to shake sapling trees blocks away,&#8221; the paper reports.
The incident prompted a shutdown of several buildings in the area as scores of law enforcement officials converged on the scene as part of the extensive response.

Gunman Opens Fire In Downtown Dallas, Shot Dead. Here’s What You Need To Know.

Shooting

A Dallas police officer, who shot an unarmed man in his own apartment after mistaking the apartment for hers, has been arrested and charged with manslaughter.
Texas Rangers announced Monday that Amber Guyger was taken into custody on Sunday, and then released on $300,000 bond. An investigation into the events that led up to the shooting, which took the life of Botham Shem Jean, is ongoing.
Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/dallas-police-officer-charged-after-man-shot-in-apartment-she-thought-was-hers/4199894/?sf197323720=1">told a press conference Monday</a> that the evidence supported a manslaughter charge, but that she may take the case to a grand jury for further examination.
Botham Jean was at home in Dallas when Guyger entered his apartment, believing it to be hers. After an &#8220;interaction,&#8221; Guyger fired her service weapon, hitting Jean. She reported the shooting to 911 dispatchers and allegedly admitted that she&#8217;d mistaken Jean&#8217;s apartment for her own. Jean died of his wounds later at a local hospital.
&#8220;A female Dallas police officer returned to what she believed to be her apartment after her shift ended &#8212; she was still in uniform when she encountered Mr. Jean inside the apartment,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/10/us/dallas-police-officer-amber-guyger-arrest/index.html">Dallas Police Chief told CNN last week</a>, adding that details surrounding the incident were murky and that police were still investigating &#8220;the interaction &#8230; between her and the victim. Then at some point she fired her weapon striking the victim.&#8221;
The case made national headlines, particularly after Dallas law enforcement refused to take Guyger into immediate custody.

BREAKING: Dallas Police Officer Charged With Manslaughter In Shooting Death Of Unarmed Neighbor

A man drove his pickup truck &#8220;repeatedly&#8221; into the KDFW FOX 4 studios in Dallas early Monday morning.
<a href="http://www.fox4news.com/news/man-arrested-after-crashing-truck-into-fox4-building-in-downtown-dallas">FOX 4</a> reports that the man repeatedly drove into a side of the building with floor-to-ceiling windows. He was carrying leaflets and began ranting about &#8220;high treason&#8221; when he exited his vehicle, the outlet reports. 
A Dallas police spokesperson said the man was &#8220;mostly rambling&#8221; and appeared to be upset about a shooting that involved a police officer elsewhere. He also reportedly left behind a suspicious bag that the bomb squad investigated using an explosive-sniffing dog and a bomb robot.

Man Repeatedly Rams Truck Into Fox 4 Studios In Dallas

On Thursday, a Democrat who is the second-highest-ranking elected official in Dallas <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/08/09/top-dallas-democrat-resigns-in-disgrace-admits-taking-more-than-450g-in-lavish-bribes.html">pled guilty</a> to taking over $450,000 in kickbacks and bribes.
U.S. Attorney Erin Nealy Cox announced that Dwaine Caraway, Dallas city council member and mayor pro tem, received funds &#8220;in the form of a phony consulting agreement, luxury suits, fully funded trips, gambling money, repayment of personal debt, checks and cash&#8221; from businessman Robert Leonard.
Caraway reportedly supported &#8220;key votes to promote and continue&#8221; a program putting cameras on school buses; that program was connected to Leonard, who owned the stop-arm camera company that took millions from the Dallas County Schools, as the <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/dallas-city-council/2018/08/09/dallas-mayor-pro-tem-dwaine-caraway-will-plead-guilty-federal-corruption-charges">Dallas Morning News</a> reported. Cox also stated that Leonard pled guilty to conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud.
Cox stated, &#8220;The pleas today represent the meticulous and tireless efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service, and the dedicated prosecutors of our office. These cases demonstrate our continued resolve to uncover corruption at the highest levels &#8212; the citizens of Dallas deserve honest government.&#8221;
Caraway resigned from his post on the council. In his resignation letter he stated, &#8220;Over the past several weeks, through a lot of prayer and soul searching, I have decided that I must take responsibility for my actions. I have dedicated much of my life to serving others, but have never claimed to be without sin. I am truly sorry that I must end my career as an elected official because I betrayed the public&#8217;s trust that I worked so very hard to earn.&#8221;

Top Dallas Democrat Resigns, Took Over $450K In Bribes

Democratic Party

Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Dak Prescott responded with his trademark class and calm to the racially-charged backlash he received for saying that he&#8217;d never protest during the national anthem because he simply doesn&#8217;t believe &#8220;that&#8217;s the time or the venue to do so.&#8221; After being called a &#8220;lemonade serving house negro&#8221; for his opinion by NY Daily News columnist Carron J. Phillips, Prescott told the press that he doesn&#8217;t regret his comments.
&#8220;Prescott received criticism from journalists, rappers, comedians and some fellow NFL players,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/nfl/dallas-cowboys/article215893955.html">Star-Telegram</a> reports. &#8220;His own Twitter and Instagram pages have been bombarded by a number of unflattering memes and comments.&#8221; One of the most egregious responses came from Phillips:
<div class="embed tweet">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">

</div>
But while Prescott says he&#8217;s certainly &#8220;not oblivious&#8221; to the at-times vicious and racially-charged backlash, he&#8217;s not going to let it influence his opinion.
&#8220;I am not oblivious to it,&#8221; Prescott told the Star-Telegram Tuesday after practice in Oxnard, California. &#8220;You get on social media, you see It. It doesn&#8217;t bother me. I said what I said. You have an opinion. Everyone else has an opinion. They are entitled to it as well. I accepted what they said and respect it. They should respect mine.&#8221;
Prescott says that while he respects the opinions of those who support the anthem protests, he&#8217;s not taking back a thing. Those who still criticize him perhaps don&#8217;t understand the nuances of his views.
&#8220;I think there was a little misunderstanding of the fact of what I believe in,&#8221; he told the outlet. &#8220;I never said I didn&#8217;t believe in social injustice and things that were going on. I just said I didn&#8217;t think that the national anthem was the time. It&#8217;s two minutes out of our day that we could also be spending embracing what our country should be and what our country is going to be one day that we know that it&#8217;s not right now. That is the sad part about it. That it&#8217;s not. I respect everybody. And power to the people that kneel. That is what they believe in and they should be able to kneel. For me, the game of football has been such a peace. It&#8217;s a moment for me to be at peace and think about all the great things our country does have.&#8221;
Prescott also said he wasn&#8217;t suggesting that those taking a knee weren&#8217;t also taking action. Personally, he plans to focus more on action than protest. &#8220;I am for the action,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I am for joining Malcolm and joining those guys in doing something different. That is what I mean, my taking that next step rather than just kneeling or standing. I don&#8217;t think kneeling or standing is creating a solution for us.&#8221;
The comments that resulted in the flood of criticism came Friday, when Prescott told reporters, &#8220;I&#8217;d never protest during anthem, and I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s the time or the venue to do so.&#8221;
&#8220;The game of football has always brought me such a peace, and I think it does the same for a lot of people &#8212; a lot of people playing the game, a lot of people watching the game, a lot of people that have any impact of the game,&#8221; he continued, <a href="https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/07/27/dak-prescott-on-anthem-its-time-to-take-action-rather-than-taking-a-knee/">NBC Sports</a> reported. &#8220;So when you bring such a controversy to the stadium, to the field, to the game, it takes away &#8230; from that. It takes away from the joy and the love that football brings a lot of people. I&#8217;m all about making a chance and making a difference, [but] this whole kneeling, and all of that, was all about just raising awareness, and the fact that we&#8217;re still talking about social injustice years later, I think we&#8217;ve gotten to that point. I think we&#8217;ve proved it. We know about social injustice.&#8221; (<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/33702/three-cheers-cowboys-qb-dak-prescotts-take-amanda-prestigiacomo">Read Prescott&#8217;s full comments here</a>.)

Dak Prescott Responds With Class To Vicious Backlash Over His Anthem Protest Comments

Patriotism

Racism

Jerry Jones stirred up more outrage over the NFL&#8217;s never-ending national anthem nightmare last week when he announced for all the world to hear that he expects his players to respect the flag, apparently no matter what the NFL decides to do about their brand new and perhaps already abandoned &#8220;no kneeling&#8221; policy.
&#8220;Our policy is you stand during the anthem, toe on the line,&#8221; Jones <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/33622/dallas-cowboys-players-must-stand-anthem-owner-joseph-curl">told</a> reporters at a team press conference last week.
But according to multiple reports, that might&#8217;ve been the last the world will hear from Jones on the hot-button issue, at least this week.
Fort Worth&#8217;s Star-Telegram reports that the Cowboys&#8217; public relations staff told television stations that Jones was ordered by the NFL to no longer discuss his team&#8217;s policy about protesting during the national anthem.
According to the outlet, Dallas&#8217; Fox 4 reporter Mike Doocy canceled an interview with Jones last-second after Jones&#8217; staff told him that the famously outspoken team owner wouldn&#8217;t comment on the policy publicly.
&#8220;Jones completed the interview with other TV stations as scheduled without talking about the anthem,&#8221; <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-football-nfl-dal-jones-anthem/jones-reportedly-told-by-nfl-to-stop-discussing-anthem-idUSKBN1KK26R">Reuters</a> reports.
Two weeks ago &#8212; and within hours of the Miami Dolphins&#8217; policy banning protesting during the anthem first coming to light &#8212; the NFL and the players union released a joint statement announcing that the league has indefinitely suspended the &#8220;no kneeling&#8221; policy until they can reach a new agreement on the divisive issue.
&#8220;The NFL and NFLPA, through recent discussions, have been working on a resolution to the anthem issue. In order to allow this constructive dialogue to continue, we have come to a standstill agreement on the NFLPA&#8217;s grievance and on the NFL&#8217;s anthem policy. No new rules relating to the anthem will be issued or enforced for the next several weeks while these confidential discussions are ongoing,&#8221; read the joint <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/nfl-halts-anthem-policy-after-dolphins-criticized-considering-suspensions-players-n893021?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma">statement</a>.
Owners had hoped back in May that they&#8217;d finally put the issue to rest by unanimously voting to ban kneeling. A Survey Monkey <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx8lB1VmBkbpVFZJMmVhWE1STEY0Vi0wenM4ZVBoM2MtRkxr/view">poll</a> taken soon after the policy was announced found that a majority (54%) of respondents approved of the new policy, as did 56% of those who described themselves as fans; 43% of respondents disagreed as did 42% of fans. But to the NFL&#8217;s dismay, clearly, the ratings-damaging issue is far from over.

Report: NFL Clamps Down On Jerry Jones After Anthem Policy Comments

The Dallas Cowboys tout themselves as &#8220;America&#8217;s Team.&#8221; And with a new edict from owner Jerry Jones, that&#8217;s never been more true.
Jones said on Wednesday that all Dallas Cowboys players will be required to stand on the sidelines for the national anthem in the 2018-19 season.
&#8220;Our policy is you stand during the anthem, toe on the line,&#8221; Jones said during a team press conference.
Jones&#8217; declaration comes just days after the National Football League announced it would freeze a new policy that requires players to stand during the anthem &#8212; if they&#8217;re on the field. Teams could keep players in the locker room, where they can do whatever they wish.
The NFL said public criticism and push back from the players&#8217; union, the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), prompted league officials to table the policy.
&#8220;The NFL and NFLPA, through recent discussions, have been working on a resolution to the anthem issue,&#8221; the two entities said in a joint statement. &#8220;In order to allow this constructive dialogue to continue, we have come to a standstill agreement on the NFLPA&#8217;s grievance and on the NFL&#8217;s anthem policy.&#8221;
So now it&#8217;s not clear if the new policy will go into effect for the coming NFL season.
Although Jones supports standing for the anthem, he has been at odds with President Trump, who has been highly critical of players who take a knee.
&#8220;His interest in what we&#8217;re doing is problematic, from my chair, and I would say in general the owners&#8217; chair,&#8221; Jones said. &#8220;It&#8217;s unprecedented, if you really think about it. But like the very game itself, that&#8217;s the way it is and we&#8217;ll deal with it.&#8221;
The whole brouhaha came after then-San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the anthem in the 2016-2017 NFL season to protest police brutality. Last year, even more NFL players knelt during the anthem, and the issue echoed around the country, drawing condemnation from Trump.
Since then, ratings for NFL games have dropped. At the end of the season, a survey found that 33% of NFL fans had totally boycotted the league this year. According to a poll by SurveyMonkey and Ozy Media, nearly a third said they did so &#8220;in support of Donald Trump.&#8221;
&#8220;Favorable&#8221; ratings for the NFL dropped to 44% from 57% from the end of August to the end of September. During the same period, the &#8220;unfavorable&#8221; rating rose to 40%, according to a Winston Group survey.

Dr. Paige Patterson was removed from his position as president of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary by the school&#8217;s trustees after sexist remarks made at a conference in 2000 came to light in a video leaked online. 
On Tuesday, The SBTS board of trustees engaged in a 13-hour emergency session to discuss the fate of the embattled minister, according to <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/05/24/president-of-southwestern-baptist-theological-seminary-removed-following-remarks-to-abused-women">TheBlaze</a>. 
The board released a statement on Wednesday stating that Patterson would be removed from his current position and be replaced by the dean of Southwestern&#8217;s School of Theology Jeffrey Bingham, who will serve in the interim. 
The decision came after <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/05/07/more-than-1000-southern-baptist-women-call-for-leaders-removal-for-his-advice-to-abused-women">video</a> leaked on the internet of Patterson advising women to stay with abusive husbands, as well as making inappropriate comments about a 16-year-old girl. He would later apologize for these comments while affirming his beliefs on divorce. 
More than 1,000 Southern Baptist women signed a <a href="https://swbtsletter.com/">letter</a> to the SBTS board asking to remove him saying in part:
&#8220;We are shocked by the video that has surfaced showing Dr. Paige Patterson objectify a teenage girl and then suggest this as behavior that is biblical. We are further grieved by the dangerous and unwise counsel given by Dr. Patterson to women in abusive situations. His recent remarks of clarification do not repudiate his unwise counsel in the past; nor has he offered explanation or repentance for inappropriate comments regarding a teenage girl, the unbiblical teaching he offered on the biblical meaning of womanhood in that objectification, and the inappropriate nature of his own observations of her body.&#8221;
Patterson has been granted the title of president emeritus, allowing him to receive compensation and living accommodations at the campus until July 2018.

Last weekend, the National Rifle Association held its annual convention bringing together Second Amendment supporters, firearms enthusiasts, and plenty of high profile guests. 
Unsurprisingly, the event was met with a lot of negative reaction from the Left, including the mainstream media and Hollywood celebrities who derided NRA members and attempted to smear the attendees. 
I spoke with CRTV host and NRA member Graham Allen who attended the convention. He set the record straight on the event and shared his thoughts on the Left&#8217;s hypocritical attempts to shame gun owners. 
Q: Some in the media have speculated that this past weekend&#8217;s NRA Convention in Dallas, Texas was a gathering of white supremacists. Who was actually at the convention and what was the purpose of the event?
GA: The National Rifle Association has this convention once a year so like-minded Americans can get together to exercise their right to open carry, hear from Second Amendment supporters, see new advances in firearms technology to make your home safer. 
Although the media would have you believe that it was a gathering for white supremacists or the alt-right or anything imaginable would be at this event, what I saw was real gun-toting, law-abiding American citizens. I saw adults and kids. I saw people of every ethnicity there. It was a true testament to what America truly is. 
Q: Now, the media says that the NRA send supporters a big, fat paycheck to go out and talk about gun issues. Are you being paid by them to speak out in support of the Second Amendment?
GA: (Laughs). No. Absolutely not. 
Q: We saw two protests at the convention. One was being led by a convicted criminal and the other was being led by TV actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30311/watch-nra-member-harassed-security-anti-gun-rally-emily-zanotti">Alyssa Milano</a>. The interesting thing is that right there with her were security armed with guns. Shouldn&#8217;t her bodyguards be armed with bows and arrows?
GA: It&#8217;s hypocrisy at best. Now she would go on later to tweet that it was not her personal security, they were just assigned to the protest. Honestly, it doesn&#8217;t matter. She knew that in her general vicinity there were armed guards protecting her. 
Despite what Alyssa Milano will ever say, the reason the security was there was because she felt safer with armed security there. At the end of they day when you have trained people with weapons around you, you feel safer. You don&#8217;t feel endangered, you feel protected and secure.
Like I said before, it&#8217;s hypocrisy at best, but I think it goes deeper than that. I believe that celebrities have tunnel vision in that they think they&#8217;re more important than normal citizens that it makes sense for them to have security. Whereas normal citizens are not important, special, talented, or famous enough to need a firearm to protect their families. 
Q: You had a very high-profile guest. President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30272/watch-nra-convention-speech-highlights-trump-and-ryan-saavedra">Donald Trump</a> gave a speech where he doubled down on his support of the Second Amendment. I&#8217;m curious what the reaction was for those at the event. As far as I know, there hasn&#8217;t been a president in a while who has shown this much support in the sense of speaking at events like this. 
GA: The one thing our current president has done is show that he will not bend to what the PC media wants him to. Other companies have bent to the politically correct in dropping the NRA, but the president has done the opposite of that. 
The truth is the NRA is there to defend the Second Amendment, which I believe is the most powerful amendment in the Bill of Rights, since it defends what the others stand for. The president knows that.
Q: It was announced this week that former Reagan official <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30341/breaking-lt-col-oliver-north-will-be-new-president-hank-berrien">Oliver North</a> would take over as president of the National Rifle Association. What are your thoughts on that?
GA: I would like to say his predecessor did a good job of weathering several storms. That being said, at the end of the day the NRA is business and I think that standpoint it is a good move. You have this change of command while the NRA is under scrutiny like it is, and I think it shows that they are doing business as usual. It is the next man up. 
Q: What are some of the advances in firearm technology and safety gear that impressed you while you were there?
GA: I&#8217;m always a fan of the Glock and what they have to offer. Sig Sauer has some really good pistols that they are introducing. 
Honestly, my favorite part of the NRA is to go and do meet-and-greets. I love to stand and say hello to people who open carry with weapons on their hips and nobody flinches. Nobody makes a move or feels endangered. It&#8217;s gun-toting, freedom-loving Americans who are exercising their Second Amendment rights and it&#8217;s a beautiful thing to see.

BREAKING: Two Dallas Cops Brutally Shot At A Home Depot. Both In Critical Condition.

On Monday, ESPN&#8217;s Pardon the Interruption host Michael Wilbon compared Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones <a href="http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/10/10/espn-michael-wilbon-compares-jerry-jones-slave-owner-over-dallas-cowboys-anthem-protests">to a slaveowner</a> after Jones stated that players who show disrespect for the American flag would not play in the game following the National Anthem.
Pardon the Interruption co-host Tony Kornheiser noted that Cowboys stars like quarterback Dak Prescott or wideout Dez Bryant could force Jones to bench them if they protested. He said, &#8220;I believe he has the right to do that as an employer.&#8221;
Wilbon didn&#8217;t buy Kornheiser&#8217;s defense of Jones. He asserted: &#8220;He said he wanted to honor the anthem, and it seemed like that was where he was going. But now it just seems like it was as phony as a three-dollar bill. And the word that comes to mind, and I don&#8217;t care who doesn&#8217;t like me using it, is &#8216;plantation.&#8217;&#8221;
Wilbon said Jones&#8217; attitude was, &#8220;The players are here to serve me, and they will do what I want no matter how much I pay them. They are not equal to me.&#8221;
Wilbon continued, &#8220;That&#8217;s what this says to me and to mine. And I want to know where the players are gonna go. These players in the NFL, their careers and their contracts are not guaranteed.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUZ8jFw5vN4">Speaking</a> on the Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday, Wilbon doubled down, saying:
<blockquote>
As I called it yesterday, he&#8217;s phony, and I haven&#8217;t been suspended yet and I&#8217;m not gonna be. I thought it was phony; I think what the NFL owners did last week was increasingly phony and leaves an appearance, They wanted the heat off their behinds, and so they did what they did, in many cases, not all of them, but some of them, and Jerry Jones seemed to be the ringleader, and now he says he&#8217;s going to suspend any player who doesn&#8217;t stand. Well, suppose they all don&#8217;t stand? What&#8217;s he going to do, suspend the whole team? Is he going to forfeit the game? So I think Jerry&#8217;s a complete and utter phony in this regard, in that particular context. Let me make myself clear &#8230; I was critical of Jerry Jones yesterday, I used the phrase &#8220;plantation mentality.&#8221; Let me repeat it: &#8220;plantation mentality.&#8221; That&#8217;s what it comes off as.
</blockquote>
Wilbon was echoing filmmaker Spike Lee, who<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/21664/lefts-new-smear-trump-treats-nfl-plantation-paul-bois"> said</a> in late September of President Trump&#8217;s remarks vis-à-vis the NFL, &#8220;When he says &#8212; he is really telling the owners &#8212; like the owners are the plantation owners and the guys playing in the league, they&#8217;re on the plantation.&#8221;

ESPN Host: Dallas Cowboys Owner Acts Like A Slave Owner

&#8220;White cops [are] willing to sacrifice their lives&#8230; for communities of color,&#8221; said former Dallas Police Chief David Brown during a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLWB4jc8M9c">Sunday-aired interview</a> with CBS&#8217; John Dickerson for <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/face-the-nation-july-9-2017-transcript-haley-mccain-cruz-brown/">Face The Nation</a>:

<blockquote>
&#8220;Officers are willing to sacrifice their lives for these communities. That they give their all, particularly white cops. It&#8217;s still, in many department, a majority white officers are &#8212; are on the police force and they go into these communities and they risk their life.

&#8230;

There&#8217;s no question that the &#8212; the cop on the beat is sacrificing and &#8212; and committing their life to protect all of us, including communities of color.&#8221;
</blockquote>

 
Brown added that &#8220;communities of color&#8221; are often treated differently than white communities:
<blockquote>
&#8220;But at the same time, I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s a contradiction in saying that communities of color do get treated differently by those few officers that don&#8217;t deserve to be in the profession. And there&#8217;s a small number, but for these communities, this becomes their worldview.&#8221;
</blockquote>
Brown shared an anecdote from his childhood during desegregation:

<blockquote>
&#8220;Yes, Mike Shillenburg (ph). A real quick story. In sixth grade I was part of busing, desegregation in this country, and I was bussed to an all-white school. Mike Shillenburg was a white kid. Obviously you can tell I&#8217;m black. And we were both 11 years old. And he invited me home for dinner because he saw the difficulties I was having in school. And that transformed my world view of race because Mike&#8217;s mom brought out two pot pies and we sat and had dinner and we became best friends. We&#8217;re friends today. And God knows what I would be thinking about people if Mike hadn&#8217;t invited me home for dinner. So, again, my takeaway is, see you at dinner. Let&#8217;s &#8212; let&#8217;s not be so divided.&#8221;
