In past posts on this blog I have challenged our nation’s police leaders to stand up and speak out about the crisis they are in.

Now Billy Ray Fields. a police officer from Ocilla, a small town in Southern Georgia, stands up and speaks out. It is reported that his father, Billy Ray Fields Sr., was also a police officer and served as a sheriff’s deputy and chief of police.

Here are some of my earlier posts on this topic:

• Stand Up, Be An Ally for Reform
• Stand Up, Speak Up, Lead
• The Stand Up Begins
• Police Leaders Stand Up

And also more than one on apology:

• The Case For Apology
• And my video.
