Quote of the Day: A Dallas Surgeon's Words
"Black men dying and being forgotten. People retaliating against the people that are sworn to defend us. We have to come together and end all of this...I want my daughter to see me interacting with police that way so she doesn’t grow up with the same burden that I carry, when it comes to interacting with law enforcement. And I want the Dallas Police to also see me, a black man, and understand that I support you, I will defend you and I will care for you. That doesn’t mean that I do not fear you. That doesn’t mean if you approach me, I will not immediately have a visceral reaction and start worrying for my personal safety."(emphasis added) Dr. Brian H. Williams, the emergency room surgeon who treated many of the police victims of the Dallas sniper attack. Williams spoke at a press conference today at Dallas' Parkland Memorial Hospital.
