Hiring practices are not entirely to blame here. Having an extremely stressful job is likely to change a lot of otherwise level people into "ragers".

I can understand, won't necessarily validate but can understand, getting carried away in heat of the moment situations where your life is on the line. I'm a huge proponent of self-defense.
Attacking a man handcuffed and compliant though? That's not something a normal person would do under stress.
Lying under oath years after the incident? Again, that has nothing to do with stress.
And why should the standards for police officers be "normal people"? The police should be held to an absolutely high standard. If you can't handle the stress to do the work, that's understandable, find a new job. Not slam the door on the legs of handcuffed and harmless (innocent) civilians.
But again, the fact that they thought a thug and goon like Kaminski would make a good representative for the face of the police union shows that they want to be portrayed as thugs and goons.
