Thanks, boss! Police chief David Brown publicly shames his staff
YOU do not want to be in trouble with this police chief. If you stuff around he has no regrets about publicly flaying you. Thanks, boss!
YOU do not want to be on this man's bad side. If you stuff around he has no regrets about publicly humiliating you on social media.
Dallas Police Chief David Brown does not have qualms about firing his staff, having fired or disciplined 27 officers and employees over the last year, Vocativ reports.
We know this because each time he publicly named and shamed them and told the world exactly what they did to deserve it.
I have terminated SC Frank Della for public intoxication, damaging a person's property, and making offensive contact with a person.

The move has drawn criticism from some residents who wanted to know why the police department was "ridiculing" itself
"I love this Police Department. But can you PLEASE STOP posting information about officers getting arrested or fired," one user said.
"It's beginning to make DPD look like a joke. With over 3,500 officers there are sure to be some bad apples."
"I don't know of any other companies that do post these sort of things on their social media sites. Families and friends don't need to know their personal business until they choose to ...," another user, Stephanie Hughes, said.
Others said it showed police were holding themselves to a high standard. Mr Brown has already started the year off with a bang, with the arrest of Senior Corporal Carlos Alicea for assault (family violence).
