Property Management

DALLAS - State Sen. Royce West (D-Dallas), candidate for U.S. Senate in the July 14 Democratic Primary Runoff, issued the following Statement on Tuesday: "The American military must not be used against peaceful protestors, peri- od. President Trump’s call that peaceful protestors be handled with force is the same kind of thinking that has resulted in bloodshed in this country before in our history. We cannot go down this path. Those outside agitators turning peaceful protests violent must be dealt with swiftly, and through the criminal justice system. Further bloodshed will not help. Yesterday, the president had a peaceful crowd out- side the White House pushed away and tear gassed so he could have a photo op of himself walk- ing to a church holding a Bible. Instead of antics to please his base that make him look like a totalitarian dictator, President Trump should be trying to unite our country. I encourage all Americans to continue their peaceful protests, and turn away in all instances Good Luck! from violence." NEED A COPY OF THE DALLAS POST TRIBUNE? TRY ONE OF THESE LOCATIONS...
