In Minneapolis, where Floyd died, a duty to intervene policy has been on the books since 2016, according to the city’s website.
The policy reads: “It shall be the duty of every sworn employee present at any scene where physical force is being applied to either stop or attempt to stop another sworn employee when force is being inappropriately applied or is no longer required,” — word for word the same language used by the Dallas Police Department in defining its new order.
Seeing how well that has worked in Minneapolis, what are the chances that this will work in Dallas?
