A Dallas police officer who was critically injured in the line of duty was honored by the department for his courage in overcoming his injuries and returning to work. He wasn't expected to live after his 2018, but he's a prime example of someone who doesn't give up.
A Dallas police officer who was critically injured in the line of duty was honored by the department for his courage in overcoming his injuries and returning to work.
"My injuries were so traumatic, the doctors told my parents and the department I would not be able to survive," he recalled. "And if I did survive, I would live in a 24-hour adult healthcare facility in a vegetative state." Tuesday, Barber was presented with the Theodore Roosevelt Association Award for the Texas chapter. A Dallas officer is selected annually who continues to provide praiseworthy service despite serious injury or illness.
