In Dallas, police who fire their weapons in the line of duty will now be sidelined for as long as four weeks. They will also undergo more counseling. Robert Arredondo, president of the Dallas Latino Peace Officers Association, said he likes the idea of cops working from behind a desk for a month after an officer involved shooting.
“Those officers are sometimes not thought about,” Arredondo said. “A lot of folks think it comes with the job, that it comes with the territory. You’re going to see bad stuff sometimes. And you’re supposed to just take it. Officers are supposed to not have feelings.”
