Five Dallas police officers have been fired and one arrested following an investigation of their involvement in the death of a bicyclist. While this is tragic all the way through, it is good to see that the city of Dallas recognizes that law enforcement officials must be held to the same standards as everyone else and that they are not paper over the involvement of a few of their own. A government that is limited in scope treats all citizens, regardless of their position, equally under the law and demands equal responsibility for those who break the law regardless of their position. Good for the city of Dallas. Now we hope the officers will be given the full benefit of due process of law and be considered innocent until proven guilty.
