I grit my teeth every time some personage of more-or-less good will proffers training as a fix to problems. I should think the Iraqi Army would have made that clear.

This officer punched the "training" ticket but still had the same attitude so the training was worthless except for the value of ticket punching. It is nothing but CYA for police supervisors and politicians who will say "we did all we could". No, if they did all they could this incident would not have happened. Better officer screening would be a good place to start and that means getting people who understand what "to protect and serve" really means.

This officer had ten years on the force and was promoted to corporal, supervisor and trainer. Apparently, his superiors in the office liked what they saw.

It has been my experience in the workplace that the bosses promote and reward people that they perceive as being like themselves. That this officer was a supervisor at this scene (where his own men tried to restrain him) speaks volumes about the folks who are running this police force.

"Casebolt took eight hours of cultural diversity training at Collin County Community College in February 2009. He has also taken courses in racial profiling and use of force."

Shit didn't work too well now did it?

To quote Kaitlin Todd of NCIS, "You mean they teach you how to do that?"

After he kneeled on her back and subsequently is holding her down: "Stop fighting. Lay still." Something a rapist would say.

Despicable!

Is it your contention that the LEOs subduing males intend to rape them?

He is way out of line for his actions. I'd be more concerned with his"Get the F out of here" to innocent bystanders, and the denial that he drew his weapon than your perceived "rapyness".

Clearly in this case he did it just avoid a reprimand or some other punishment that was coming his way.

It was after the NYPD shoved a lamp up someone's ass.

He said two criteria need to be considered for police work: Intelligence and decency.

That'll be an attitude adjustment he won't forget.

front is seriously fooling themselves. This is a multi-facet issue that is ping-ponging between our institutions and our communities. Getting rid of racist cops is only one step. The other is to ensure that these ideas are not festering in our residential communities where it will have any impact on minority families. In other words, dare to go beyond fair housing practices and look for collusions and practices that create inequality in our communities.

he knew immediately and went after all those guilty of swimming while black!

little secret, didn't take with him. total fail

He had a lot of texts to catch up on, though.
