Provo Police Chief John King was an officer in Baltimore and knows it can be a great place.

But he is very disappointed by what he's seen on TV this week.

"There is no excuse for the behavior we saw last night from the community. You had the peaceful demonstrations, which I was very proud of because I believe in the First Amendment. People have the right to hold police accountable. But the unlawfulness that has been going on is not a form of protest.
