It's really dissapointing that things like this do happen. But what's even more dissapointing is that the cops that do these things are the one's that are corrupted and make people hate cops. Corrupted cops like those make people think that all police officers are the same when in reality alot, they aren't. I have been put in both situations. About 6 years ago my real mother was dating some guy who had some sort of lawsuit going on. The lawsuit consisted of the same thing. Actually his story was a very media related one, it was a big deal. You might not remember him but he had been stopped by the cops and just beaten almost to death, they left him unconsciuos and remained with a severe concussion for months and evetually left him with mental problems. Point is he was WHITE not BLACK so it doesn't only happen to blacks. Now as to me I've only had encounters with the "good cops" that have caught us speeding, drinking and eating crap where were not supossed to and have just let us go. Yeah there are many corrupted cops who abuse of others but there is also ALOT of good ones and lately us as people are the ones that have been abusing of the good cops, take a look at how many police officers have been shot and killed in the past 2 months. Now you may think I'm being a bit bias by defending the cops so much, but you have to realize almost all the males in my family are somehow involved with the authority. 3 cops and 2 military soldiers. But ofcourse I'm not just defending all cops, because MANY police officers out there do abuse of their power and authority over others and that's just not fair. But, what can we do? We're just people and we've gotten use to this being a part of life.
