P.R. nightmare ensues for the police...as well as donations/reward money from good people.
They changed their mind and did the right thing.

I have heard that some in Dallas P.D. are raising money for the family, who apparently having a tough time. To me, that's the most inspiring part of the story. The family needs help, yet her decision and her family's praise of her decision.

Apparently having a tough time? Seven people living in a one bedroom apartment pretty well affirms this.
I think they discovered there was a state law concerning this type of thing.
This just goes to reinforce previous opinions from visual observation about Dallas PD.

If so I'm confident I had a couple of Dallas PD trainees/rookies next to me at the concert last night. I was about to punch the boyfriend in the face because he let her girlfriend drink like a fish. And I'm pretty confident they weren't locals. At one point I asked them to either stop or go get a room. They obliged by leaving.
OK, sorry for the thread drift, back to moronic Dallas PD....
The Dallas PD has always been known to be a bunch of morons. Back in the 80s after I had been hired as an assistant DA, I attended a seminar put on by the DA's Council. Mixed in with the usual stuff about securities law prosecutions and search-and-seizure issues was a public relations presentation by the Media Relations guy with the Dallas PD. Knowing the Dallas PD's reputation, I thought I was prepared for anything, but when he held up his water glass and asked us if it was half full or half empty, I had to leave. There were many who followed.
The question I had to ask was who was the genius who hired that idiot in the first place.
