Dallas police chief lost son, brother and partner to violence

[Zorro]

Dallas Police Chief David Brown stood before the television cameras Friday morning, hours after a gunman fatally shot five officers, and made one thing clear: His department was hurting.

“We don’t feel much support on most days,” Brown said. “Let’s not make today most days.”

He had spent a long night consoling the victims’ families, who were struggling just to understand why.

A three-decade veteran of the Dallas Police Department who grew up in the city and became chief in 2010, Brown, 55, is well-acquainted with tragedy. His former police partner was shot and killed in 1988. His brother was killed three years later.
