It is unbelievably disturbing that this keeps happening, over and over and over.

Dennett wonders if better training might be helpful. Perhaps. But I think more than just training, serious psychological testing also needs to be given to these people before they are let loose on the world. Here in Canada, a higher education is a must for cops. Just a few days ago, here in Canada, two off duty cops were charged with the murder of a young guy from 2 years ago. He had tried to sell them a fake watch, so was a criminal, but did they need to beat him so severely he died? And with all their education and training, this still happened. Just saying.

In this case of Tyre, one wonders what motivated these black policemen to brutally assault "one of their own. Were they trying to prove to their white colleagues that they are as racist as anyone else? If those 5 cops had been white, would they have been removed from duty and charged as quickly as these 5 were? Too many questions. Too horrible to think about.
