The Abilene Police Officer’s Association is standing in solidarity with the officers killed and injured in Thursday night’s sniper attack. Hughes told a television station that he was “defamed” by the Dallas Police Department, which tweeted the photo of him and described him as a suspect in the shootings of police officers.
As previously reported, Dallas police chief David Brown said during a press conference Friday that the “profession is hurting.”
“The suspect has no criminal history”, the police statement added.
Several Abilene Officers have already reached out to those they know in the Dallas Law Enforcement Community to offer support in these hard times.
U.S. attorney general Loretta Lynch urged Americans not to make violence the “new normal” after the Dallas attack and a week of “profound grief”.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch urged activists like the Black Lives Matter movement not to give up their peaceful protests, saying that they should not be deterred “by those who use your lawful actions as a cover for their heinous violence”. The wounded officers are expected to survive.
“He said he was upset about the recent police shootings”. The officer wounded outside St. Louis is in critical but stable condition.
In Tennessee, a man who was arrested after allegedly shooting at random passing cars and police on the highway told authorities he was fed up with violence against African Americans. However, he said now is a time to defend the “99 percent of officers who do their job professionally”.
“Our condolences go out to those people”, said protester Anthony Robeldo. “And that’s what I learned from this”. “And so I think a lot of times, in many areas, officers have never engaged and had direct conversations with certain cultures and certain ethnic groups”.
“We’re all concerned that things can get out of hand, so they have to be very vigilant but still treat the public with respect”, he said.
OFFICER MICHAEL KROL, 40: Krol was a Dallas police officer who formerly worked as a jail officer in MI. Police said they were questioning two occupants of a Mercedes they had pulled over after seeing a man throwing a camouflage bag inside the back of the vehicle, which then sped off on a downtown street.
Before the attack Dallas, officers were seen engaging and taking pictures with demonstrators.
Videos posted online show Hughes walking around peacefully during the shooting and later turning over his gun to a police officer.
