The DNC Was Having a Moment of Silence for Fallen Police Officers. Then There Was a Scream…

 

In a largely apolitical speech that was seemingly the strongest defense of police to this point at the Democratic National Convention, Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez was speaking to the DNC crowd about the resilience of police in the face of adversity, and how she’s been trying to make sense of it, before offering a solution: 

Violence is not the answer. Yelling and calling each other names is not going to do it. Talking within our own group in a language only our group understands leads nowhere. We have to start listening to each other.

Then, she asked the crowd to help her honor “all of America’s fallen officers with a moment of silence.”
