Change "Malcom X Blvd" street name in Dallas to "Brent Thompson Blvd"

The Issue

Change "Malcom X Blvd" street name in Dallas to "Brent Thompson Blvd"

Malcom X called for violent action against the US government, Police, and "White America". Granted, at the time, the civil right movement was in the middle of a fight for the rights of people to be equal. But, unlike Martin Luther King who preached equality for all and judging people for their character, Malcom X preached "By any means necessary". That attitude has lead to riots all over our great nation.

Officer Brent Thompson was killed by people following the rhetoric of Malcom X in the streets of Dallas on July 7, 2016. In fact, one of the shooters has been identifed as a man known as "Michah X", and obvious link to Maclom X and his hateful rhetoric. Brent Thompson was the first DART officer killed in the line of duty. He was monitoring a protest to help the protesters have a safe event, despite the protest being "anti-police" when an organized guerrilla style ambush killed him and 4 other police officers. The attackers killed Brent for simply being a police officer on the street trying to keep our streets peaceful.
