There was no formal psych screening back in the day. I suspect today's "evaluations" are geared more toward political correctness than mental health. The REAL PSYCH EVALUATION of a police officer didn't come in the form of an interview or a test, but rather how he (there were no hers) behaved once on the street. The beat Sargent was god; after a month he knew the pecans from the average Joe's. The tip off was made easier for him when fellow officers refused to work with the jack off. Back then the probationary period was one year, and no union rule could save the whack jobs. They were booted when identified.

A better time.
A much better grade of peace officers.

The man interviewed has severe facial and eye damages. I have to question, though, if it's the same man because of the beard. Maybe the man in the first video just looks clean shave because the film is blurry or maybe he could grow a short beard in four days. I don't know. Just asking. If this did happen, the "Transit cops'"/mercs' claim that they had to act so forcefully because he might be armed is ludicrous and despicable.

I'm not sure which video you're talking about, the only one I see is one containing the YouTube video of the takedown of the guy out of his wheelchair, along with witness interviews.
Didn't see any bearded guy in it.

The video at the top of the page at the NBC Washington link that I posted for updated-news on this.
I can't tell for certain if the guy in the takedown video doesn't have a beard but am glad I'm not the only one who didn't see him as bearded then. It just looks like a different person to me in the interview at the update-link -- and not only because of the beard there -- but I suppose a swollen face could be why he looks different.

Yeah, the way they threw a helpless man to the ground is inexcusable short of the man threatening them with a gun. He was "flailing" at them so they had to throw him down on the sidewalk and bust him up like that? I hope that guy sues their dumb @$$e$--bet those two are related to GrandIsland on LP.

But yep, that's the crippled guy they brutalized.

I was thinking the same thing. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

Probably happen about the way it did on that first video where the pigs were beating up on that guy and the soccer fans went medieval on their butts. I thought that was great. Cops like that are nothing more than the bullies that we can all remember from our childhoods, the kind of people who beat up those who are weaker than they are, or who they believe to be weaker. And I speak for no one but me but I always enjoy seeing bullies getting their comeuppance.

Most seriously, most of Amerikan LEOs appear to be severely demented!
No doubt about it. I was just run thru the wringer by the local Sheriff's Police. They grabbed me on an expired warrant and it ended up costing me over $200 that I did not really have.

Thanks to both of you for the info.
Back when I had to stop at a checkpoint here some time ago and the policeman said he was from the next county over (i.e. out of his jurisdiction, or so I believed at the time), I thought about asking if he was lost but didn't. There had been some talk of downsizings and possible mergings in this county's area because of the economy that, afterwards, I remembered having heard about vaguely. So, I chalked it up to probably just some temporary arrangement due to needing more help than was available then for that extra work-detail, or as a joint-excercise to be thriftier and save money for both counties to gain experience and proficiency at the same time on the same 4th Amendment-violating, invasive procedures.
Then I found this REALITY BLOG article that I wanted to research because of this topic. It's about a Unified Police Force formed in Utah (Salt Lake County/Salt Lake Valley) to link all the different ones in that area together under a private corporation structure. Their elected Sheriff was appointed the CEO and the Sheriff's Department was dissolved. Now it's "called the 'Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake', or the 'Unified Police Department' for short." Need to study that more thoroughly but after I posted an excerpt from it in the thread, Unified Quest 2011, I remembered the checkpoint stop and vague merger talk that I hadn't thought much about since then, and it occured to me that maybe something like that has been going on here.
Now I'm thinking: Who are the people who think they can dissolve elected Sheriff's Departments and replace them with a corporate CEO if they want to? -- fragment the police into various splinter groups assigned to various Federal sectors or localized sectors and to private corporate special interest duties (like I've seen them doing regularly here with city personnel and vehicles) and then conglomerate them like their own private mosaic of security guards who are being paid by us to move against us with force and even excessive force at will -- age, gender, handicap, pregnant or still too early in the stages to look like it, no matter -- all "conveniently" filed somewhere for the more privileged under the umbrella of the DHS/"Homeland Security", I suppose is the direction they've been moved or they are moving towards "jurisdictionally".
So, if the corporateers think they can dissolve our elected Sheriff's and their departments and such to rearrange our police structures like their privatized furnishings so easily, we should declare dissolved whatever imagined authority they crazily think they have to do that.

You should run for sheriff there GL... You'd be running unopposed.
Strange though...does the sheriff have the authority to dissolve his own elected office?
A man can step down but the office remains even if vacant.
Thanks, titorite, for the thought but I'd have to move there, then establish residency and confidence in others that I could do the job correctly. They need a good Sheriff now, not maybe someday. Besides that, I'm not a well accomplished public speaker -- more of an advisory position, perhaps, is the range I'm in. I like to write on topics of politics but see all the edits roundabout that I typically have to make for flubs in proper wording and stuff here in my "speeches" and chit-chat? : /

No he doesn't and you are right about the vacancy by step-down remaining. The REALITY BLOG article is very long and I haven't read it all yet but it goes on to say, iirc, that a kind of mafia of mayors council were involved in the dissolvings and planned the corporatized unification for years. I can scarcely find the words to describe what in the world they are thinking of and doing, it's so far "beyond the pale" and huge by my quick survey of the situation. In short, it's an astoundingly grim-looking array of outlaw rogues wreaking havoc on America.

Here's the crazy part, the cops and LE Organizations will do whatever they want, including abuse and tyrannical behavior, the Feds won't say a thing because that helps them, and the judges of course will all but categorically support the pigs because they're part of the system.
That's just the way it is which is why there's probably no other outcome than some swift monstrous blowback at some point because the words restraint, control, and integrity re no longer part of the program.
On the local news here recently it was reported that they are planning to take DNA samples from everyone arrested for a felony -- not even convicted of a felony, just arrested wrongfully or not. Clearly the rogue outlaws intend to keep on keeping on as they have been and worse with their unrestrained globalized Police State tyranny blueprints and programs and their blithering Towers of Babble. There is another way besides that sort of blowback while we work through the court process to unseat the tyrants, and it's Constitutional -- indeed is written into it by our Founders a number of times:
