Dallas Officer that kicked suspect in head convicted (W/ VIDEO)

Former Dallas Police Officer Quaitemes Williams has been convicted of official oppression for an incident where he beat and kicked a handcuffed suspect in the head during a traffic stop for an invalid license plate. He was subsequently fired; now he could face up to a year behind bars.
Official Oppression is a class A Misdemeanor punishable by up to a Year in jail. However, he will be eligible for probation and I would be shocked if he did more than a few days in jail (if any).

Tristan, your last sentence says it all. “Smug sense of entitlement.”
I have a friend who’s son wants to be a cop. She says he would be better off in a very small town or a low-key community, because he is the type who sincerely wants to help people. You know, like taking a report after a burglary, or finding a lost child.
But too many officers are in their line of work because they like to have power over other people. Toss in poor people skills, social-skills, communication skills, and lack of empathy. I’m talking as someone who’s seen and studied, an I sincerely believe this.
It is very unfortunate indeed. I have several friends who are HPD officers. Great guys, great morals, fair, honest – all that good stuff. But, there is an unacceptable portion that are the opposite of all those things as well. I would like to say it is a miniscule portion, I honestly and truly would. But these stories just keep coming out. My friends that are in law enforcement are ashamed of their fellow officers that behave this way as well and they cringe when I recount stories like this in their company. I think maybe its just time to start re-thinking how we go about screening people.
