Dallas Co. DA Vows to Improve Relations Between Police, Blacks

During an appearance on NBC 5’s Lone Star Politics, Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins said he hopes to help improve relations between police officers and the black community after he leaves the DA’s office. Referencing the decisions of two grand juries to not indict white police officers in the deaths of black suspects, Watkins said, “There are some bad police officers. Some. Ninety nine percent are not. But here’s our opportunity to make it work for everyone. And so I want to be a part of that while I’m in private practice.” Watch Lone Star Politics at 8:40 a.m. Sunday on NBC 5.
