Three Schertz police officers who tackled, kicked and tased a teenager during a controversial arrest in November will receive counseling after an internal investigation into their actions found they did not act in a kind, courteous or patient manner.
The investigation conducted by other officers in the department did not find that the officers had violated five other administrative rules, including those about use of force and on-duty conduct.
