Puerto Rican authorities have suspended two officers after a twitter user send them a link to a video.
The video is taken from above from a distance. The video reportedly shows a mostly vacant Walmart parking lot and zooms in on the action below.

A viral video shows North Carolina police enter a home without a warrant on April 8, claiming they had smelled marijuana.
The home’s residents became upset about being violated and pandemonium ensued when the officers realized they were being recorded.
Vera McGriff, who initially posted the viral video, said police came to her door and demanded to search the house.
When she refused because the officer did not present a search warrant, eight cops barged in anyway and began terrorizing the household.

Revenue. It sounds as if it’s part of the capitalistic ideals that drive the American economy. However, when cities implement ordinances designed to increase revenue, it becomes a debtor’s prison for many low income communities throughout the nation.

A man in Georgia received a surprise when cops entered his house looking for drugs he didn’t have before he turned on his camera and began to record the illegal invasion.

The video was posted on Central Florida Cop Block’s youtube channel, but PINAC was unable to identify the man, although we are still trying.
 

In a volatile clash between Donald Trump supporters and protesters in Pennsylvania Wednesday, a Pittsburgh police officer was caught on video shoving a news reporter, sending her sprawling to the ground.

According to a statement issued by Pittsburgh Police Chief Cameron McLay earlier today:

Harnett County sheriff’s deputies banged on John Livingston’s door last November, searching for an assault suspect who was not at the home.
Livingston demanded to see a search warrant, but the deputies had none, so Livingston shut the door in their face.

LAPD said Norma Guzman was armed with a knife, which made them fear for their lives.

A dozen uniformed minority NYPD officers crossed The Thin Blue Line, filing suit over America’s largest police department’s allegedly illegal quotas as you can see in the video below.
The state of New York passed a law in 2010 banning police quotas.
