In the city of Dallas, where an African-American former U.S.-military soldier gunned down 12 police officers, leaving five of them dead, you have a mayor who’s been upfront with the public about why it happened.
"Our police officers died for Black Lives Matter movement," Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said Tuesday on CBS This Morning. "We were protecting those individuals. That is not a racist organization. They're trying to do better, but I ask everybody to start at the level playing ground that the police are there to serve them, and to serve everyone."
