    Dallas Chief Says Criminals Are 'Forced To Commit Violent Acts,' Blames Society

    Dallas, TX – Dallas Police Chief Renee Hall drew the ire of citizens and law enforcement groups on Monday when she implied that society is to blame for forcing criminals who commit violent acts (video below).

    “There are socioeconomic issues that are related to crime in individuals in this city,” Chief Hall said during a press conference discussing two recent homicides. “There are individuals in this city who have returned from prison who cannot find a job, who are not educated.”

    “In those instances, those individuals are forced to commit violent acts,” the chief declared.

    Many were outraged by Chief Hall’s comment, including Dallas Police Association President Mike Mata.

    “The Chief saying that people [are] ‘forced to commit violent acts’ it places the blame on society and makes the offenders the victim,” Mata told KTVT. “I don’t believe anyone is forced to violently attack another person.”

    By using the word “forced” as opposed to “choose,” Chief Hall placed blame on society, rather than offenders, he said.

    “I believe in sentencing guidelines reform and educating violators prior to releasing back into society so they can have the best possible chance of not re-offending,” Mata continued, “but we also have to be accountable for our own actions and never in any way validate an excuse to commit a violent act.”

    Chief Hall clarified her comment later on Monday night.

    “There is no excuse for crime,” she said, according to KTVT. “Crime in general however, is on the rise in Dallas for many reasons. One of them being a lack of resources and opportunity.”

    I have been pretty poor before and never once committed a violent act because of it.

      Most criminals are criminals because they choose to be. They don't want regular jobs. They want to be criminals.

        This person should be given a sharp introduction to the meaning of "enabling."

        taking it upon themselves to deprive you
        of the right to call yourself Christian.

          This person should have a crime committed against her, or her family. Then we would see her tune change.

            "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

              Something along those lines, anyway.

                  Well, when you choose your Police Chief this way....

                  On paper she wasn’t a front-runner, but last summer U. Reneé Hall came to Dallas and charmed the city manager and council members by being approachable and funny and smart and, yes, though we’re not supposed to mention it, attractive, too.


                  ...don't be the least bit surprised that you're not getting a crime fighter.
                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      And the rank and file will tell you "she got hired because she 'checked the right boxes'".
