The tragedy in Dallas, with the reprehensible murder of five police officers, illuminates the dangers faced by those who take the honorable oath to protect and serve America’s communities.
This cowardly attack, the most deadly against law enforcement since 9/11, must inspire America to appreciate our police, and fully commit ourselves as a nation dedicated to police-community unity.
The current storms of police-community controversies, tensions, and brokenness must serve as a turning point that ignites healing, unity, and renewal.
Although our nation’s police-community issue is national in scope, the entire world is watching America’s response.
Last week, while traveling throughout China, I followed the events not only through American sources, but witnessed extensive coverage of our police-community issues through Chinese television and newspapers as well.
