Travis Rebels Listen, Learn From Law Enforcement

Travis Early College High School football coach Joe Frank Martinez said he was motivated by the July 7 attack on Dallas police officers to bring together his athletes and police officers.

"Something just got my attention," Martinez said. "I wanted our students to know that law enforcement officers are not against us. Yes, there may be a bad one or two, but the majority of them are good people who want to help. I want our kids to know that violence is not the answer. There is a right way to protest a situation and a wrong way."
