Give Chief Kunkle a Break

I’ve never seen a police chief get such grief for firing some officers. Chief Kunkle is trying to set precedent that bad officers will not be tolerated.

If we have 3,000 officers and 9 or 10 get fired, that shows the Chief is getting rid of bad apples. Read the news articles, look at the violations, and you tell me if you feel it’s warranted. That means 99% of other officers are doing their job.

The bonuses plus the additional increases in salary along with getting rid of these bad apples will increase the pool of new officers as well as boost morale for the officers that do operate by the book.

Dallas, we can’t have it both ways. Either we want Chief Kunkle to clean house, or we don’t. I support his efforts to make the Dallas Police Department the best police department in North Texas.
