The Dallas police chief who helped steer the city through the killings of five officers during a July protest march said Thursday he's retiring.
David Brown, a 33-year veteran of the force, said in a statement that the decision was "difficult," but didn't say why he was stepping down.
Instead, Brown recalled the 1980s crack cocaine epidemic that inspired him to become a police officer "to be part of the solution." And he urged the public to remember the five officers shot to death by a gunman on July 7.
"I know the people of Dallas will never forget the ultimate sacrifice they made on the streets of our city that awful night," Brown said in a statement.
