hard to stay strong in times like these. chief parker, let me give you the last word. >> well, i would echo simone's comments regarding stay strongent efforts like we're always trying to have our police department reflect what our community base looks like and how are we going to recruit new officers now? who wants to come into this profession? it's going to be really difficult. so when we are looking to increase our female and our minority base who really wants to come into a job that is politicized every single day and made to be a villain job when really when you go to work that's not what it's like. you get to do amazing things. you get to help people. that's your job. it's an awesome career. but i do think it's going to be difficult for recruiting and i see that a problem in the future. griff: all right, thank you very much for joining us and thankfully we still have people, men and women across the country with servants' hearts that want to serve and protect. thank you, guys. >> thank you, griff, for having us. griff: up next remember when the plane carrying dale earhardt jr. and his family crashed? new details on how they
