With this incident and the countless others that are in the public eyes now, will cops change their behaviors? You still see dogs being shot, civil right violations, incorrect houses being raided and Chris Rock being pulled over three times. When does it stop...

Maybe when he starts obeying traffic laws?

I think that tells you a lot about the force mindset as a whole. They see all these videos of them being assholes or worse and they think the VIDEO is the problem.

This dude is an a-hole and deserves to be kicked off the force, especially if he has a history of this kind of behavior.
I hate to read these kind of stories for two reasons.
First, it is despicable to see this kind of behavior, particularly from someone in a position of authority who is supposed to protect and serve the public.
Second, it makes the job that much harder for the majority of cops who are quality individuals. The police chief said as much in the article. I'm not sure if there is a career field in this country that gets more flak for the actions of a minority of its members than cops.
I give a cop the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise, as I would with any other profession. I'm also not afraid to hold the shitty cops responsible for their actions, and I believe the majority of the public holds the same sentiment. Unfortunately stories like this are becoming so prevalent that the good cops, the majority of cops, are starting to lose the battle in the court of public opinion.
I don't know what it will take to stem the tide, because we all know that good news doesn't seem and good cop stories aren't going to get much press, but I hope things change soon.

No. They're too fricking stupid to be self-aware (see: video).
