Modern DPD Seems Quite Similiar To 1960's DPD

Some excerpts

Hephzibah Olivia Lord, distraught and sobbing, sat across from Detective Dwayne A. Thompson in the Dallas Police Department’s interview room several hours after her boyfriend had died from a gunshot wound to the head.
After going through perfunctory questions about what happened that night, Thompson’s voice boomed without warning. “You [expletive] shot him! That’s what you did!” he told a stunned and confused Lord, who protested her innocence. “Yes you did! Yes you did!”

Kim Sanders, a more than 30-year veteran of the department who served as a homicide detective, said the interview amounted to intimidation.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Sanders said.



He called the tone and line of questioning a “formula for a false confession.” And Sanders questioned why Thompson did not read Lord her right to remain silent after the point in which he clearly considered her a murder suspect during the interview.

Thompson repeatedly asked Lord during the interview why she waited seven minutes to call 911 after trying to reach a friend of Burnside’s by phone. “Seven minutes is a long time,” Thompson told her several times on the video.
But Lord’s attorney, Don Tittle, said the detective was wrong — that police records show she called 911 immediately after trying to reach the friend.

 Looks like trying to get false confessions is till a ploy at the DPD.

Since it seems that no DPD personnel have been sanctioned for such illegitimate tactics in the past, there's little reason for them to change.

Right Goban. I guess the Henry Wade era is not entirely gone yet.
