DALLAS (AP) - A trauma surgeon at Parkland Memorial Hospital who is black says he understands the "anger and frustration and distrust of law enforcement."
Dr. Brian H. Williams went on to say that police are not the problem, but instead the lack of discussion about "the impact of race relations."
Williams and other doctors who treated some of the officers who were shot Thursday night in downtown Dallas held a news conference on Monday afternoon.
Five officers died and nine officers and two civilians were injured during a protest over recent fatal shootings by police.
Williams said that not being able to save some of the officers "weighs on my mind constantly."
