This is an excerpt from the mayor’s press conference at Dallas City Hall held at 12:30 am this morning (July 8).
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings:
“It is a heartbreaking morning to lose these four officers that proudly served our citizens. To say that our police officers put their life on the line every day is no hyperbole ladies and gentlemen. It’s a reality. We as a city, we as a country, must come together – lock arms – and heal the wounds that we all feel from time to time. Words matter. Leadership matters at this time.”
