"There’s this dichotomy where I am standing with law enforcement. But I also personally feel and understand the angst when you cross the paths of an officer in uniform and you’re fearing for your safety," Williams said. "I’ve been there and I understand that. But for me that does not condone disrespecting and killing police officers."
When asked how he handles this with his daughter, he said he makes a point of picking up the tab for officers when he sees Dallas police officers out at a restaurant.
"I want my daughter to see me interacting with police that way so she doesn’t grow up with the same burden I carry when it comes to interacting with law enforcement," he said.
He said his goal is to have more interactions so that police can understand his perspective of these interactions.
"I also want the Dallas PD to see me, a black man, and understand that I support you, I will defend you and I will care for you," Williams said. "That doesn’t mean that I do not fear you."
