I'm not saying that Dallas PD did the right thing but at the same time none of us were there so it's tough to judge.
This is another slippery slope. That's one fear I do have if I ever make it into LE. I don't want to have this situation arise. I guess it would depend on the circumstances, but in this case I think since they heard nothing it was best to err on the side of caution. Tough one!
