Killer Cops And How To Transform Police Departments By Hiring Better Officers


"Fuck This Guy! I’m Going To Hit Him." 
Dash-cam video shows officers tried to run over man before shooting him 14 times
Alan: Let's "seed" urban police departments with peaceful people; people who are service-oriented; people who are psychologically predisposed to speak truth to power; people who won't hesitate to "blow whistles"; people chosen through new hiring criteria and new hiring processes, including much more sophisticated and extensive psychological testing, including polygraph examination.In the beginning, these new hiring criteria need not apply to all candidates.For example, municipal police departments could create the equivalent of "green beret forces," a new kind of hiring initiative that would deliberately invite and seek out candidates with the characteristics described above.Surely, many bad cops can be weeded out before they get hired.And many more can be weeded out by fellow cops willing to tell the truth about the violent, intimidating and frequently racist behaviors of bad cops.
