Bad Cop: Cop Killer's Police Escort Spurs Outrage [Video]
Many in the Dallas Police Department are outraged that a dozen on-duty officers were called to escort the funeral procession of a cop killer – the son of Dallas Police Chief David Brown.
Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm explained as his funeral procession headed down Highway 75 it apparently ran into congestion from an accident. Motorists were weaving in and out of the procession so someone on the DPD command staff ordered a police escort.
The Dallas Police Association said the honor of a police escort is usually reserved for officers killed in the line of duty.
The organization’s Website states, “Certainly the death of a family member is tragic, but to elevate the funeral to that level reserved for slain officers is repulsive and an embarrassment to DPD. THOSE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD RESIGN IMMEDIATELY!”
Suhm said neither she nor Chief Brown had prior knowledge of the action.
Quote from the article:
David Brown, Jr. was buried Friday in Pleasant Grove, five days after he shot and killed two people including a Lancaster police officer . Brown Jr. was killed by Lancaster police returning fire.
