"Dallas Police Chief David Brown has started coming down hard on officers who are too quick to resort to deadly force. He fired senior corporal Amy Wilburn, who shot an unarmed carjacking suspect last month. Same with Carden Spencer, the cop who opened fire on a mentally ill man in a Rylie cul-de-sac in October, and Bryan Burgess, who ran over a suspicious-looking bicyclist during the spring.
Compare that with Houston, where every police shooting over the past six years has been declared justified, and Brown seems like a paragon of justice and accountability."

You'll remember this one.... mentally disturbed guy sitting on a roller stool in the cul de sac, cops pull up, scream at him, they drill him from 30 + ft. Then lied about him coming at them with a raised knife. Incident caught on neighbor's security camera.

This one I don't understand. Cop practices the standard operating procedure of running down and killing bicyclist because he "looked suspicious". That's what cops do, right? What's the problem? The world is a better place now with that suspicious bicyclist gone. Not only was this blue clad hero fired, he was arrested on a charge of criminally negligent homicide, which carries a potential sentence of six month to two years. PLUS the FBI is climbing up his rectum for civil rights violations involving the victim.
I like Chief Brown.
