A committee appointed by the Wichita city manager issued its report Thursday. The committee was formed after an investigation by local media reported that some members of the department's SWAT team joked about using force and exchanged inappropriate texts.

The committee's report says the officers involved were not adequately disciplined and recommends an independent review be conducted by a third-party group to determine the extent of the presumed bias within the police department.
