Once upon a time, part of the answer always suggested to this kind of crap was more training.
But post-broken-windows-policing, training often involves teaching cops that they have to be aggressive and establish they're in charge. In other words, they're being trained to do exactly this shit.
In Wilson's case, he even got training in Israel, where martial law means civil rights don't even exist to be ignored.
