It is a mistake to look at what happened as an isolated situation.  The problem of police
acting unlawfully and violating peoples rights  is occurring
nation wide and reflects a problem with training and failing to educate police recruits
about the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution and encouraging a mentality of us against
them (meaning the general public).  Also not enough screening is being done to weed out
those who are not suited to be entrusted with having power over others. Not only initial
screening but also on going evaluations to get rid of problem police officers. If police officers
want to be respected they have act accordingly and not in the way  this particular police detective
and his police lieutenant  superior acted in this case.  They both should be ashamed and demoted
and put on permanent desk duty filing reports and not allowed to be dealing directly with
the public.
