Seven Burkburnett Texas Police Officers Face Federal Lawsuit

All charges brought against these plaintiffs, or victims, which is what they actually are, were eventually dropped.

After reading dozens of stories like this, I have arrived at 2 conclusion, one is that this type of conduct in a Police Department is contagious. Once one officer uses bully tactics during an arrest, other officers allow their tendency to bully to show, and before long the whole Department, or unit within a department, are acting like animals.

Which brings me to my other conclusion. The reason there are so many cops that utilize bully tactics against the public, is because the screening process used to hire police officers is seriously flawed. There is no reason why police departments cannot use the sophisticated physiological evaluation processes available to them in the year 2010.

IMO, a sophisticated and effective screening process should be established by the U.S. Congress, standardizing police application screening requirements nationwide, thereby improving the quality and conduct of police officers across the country.
