Watch: Cops Rupture Handcuffed Man's Spleen, Laugh at Him, Take Pics as He Lay Dying and Begging:
After rupturing the man's spleen, the officers ignored his pleas for medical attention for nearly two hours while laughing at him off-camera and later lying to investigators regarding the incident. Ref. Source 8u
FBI director calls lack of data on police shootings 'ridiculous,' 'embarrassing':
"It is unacceptable that The Washington Post and the Guardian newspaper from the U.K. Are becoming the lead source of information about violent encounters between police and civilians. That is not good for anybody," He said. Ref. Source 6t
Sheriff's deputy gets 8 years in jail beating
A former Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy was sentenced to eight years in federal prison for supervising the backroom beating of a jail visitor who fellow guards testified was handcuffed on the ground and covered in blood. He was taken into custody yesterday. Ref. Source 3v
It is important to remember that, yes some uniformed men and women abuse their position of authority, but it does not give anyone the right to disrespect the police or other authority figures. People are far too disrespectful of the people who are employed to protect them. These are some of the most-scrutinized people at their jobs that exist. When they cross the line, there is often ample evidence against them, and seldom do they walk away unscathed from any oversights. Of course there are exceptions. But when someone gets hurt when they disobey a police officer, I seldom feel sorry for them.
Shock Video: Cop Executes Man as He is Lying Face Down and Complying:
Officer Lisa Mearkle of the Hummelstown Borough Police Department was found not guilty of criminal homicide for the shooting death of 59-year-old David Kassick on February 2. Video has just been released from the Taser camera which was deployed before she fired two bullets into the man's back, as he lay face down on the ground in full compliance with her orders. Ref. Source 2e
These videos show that while most incidents do surround a lack of compliance on the part of the suspect there are cases where law enforcement is excessive to the point of being criminal. There may be a wider problem than we thought but because of mobile video its now becoming public.
