A video going viral shows two Orlando police officers struggling to arrest a man before he makes his way into his car and drives away, leaving the two cops grasping for air as they both wind up on the ground.
The surprising part is that the cops did not pull out their guns and fire at the fleeing vehicle.
It looked as if the thought never crossed their minds.
Instead, one cop stands himself up, pulls out his radio and says, “Silver Audi. Black male driving. High rate of speed. Southbound on Orange. He’s going down C.”

A New York cop finished making an arrest Thursday before turning to a man recording the arrest from across the street – a man who had not said a word to the officer – and threatened to arrest that man if he said another word.
Maurice “Mo” Crawley did not understand what the cop had just said, so he asked him to repeat himself.
And that was enough to get him arrested.
It was a blatant violation of Crawley’s Constitutional rights as well as a clear case of retaliation from a cop who did not appreciate being recorded.

Body camera footage released Wednesday shows an Arizona cop responding to a shoplifting call wasted no time before shooting a Navajo woman five times in the chest after she approached him with a small pair of medical scissors.
“She had a pair of scissors that she used to cut her hair’s split-ends,” David Villaescusa, Loreal Tsingine’s cousin who helped raise her since she was ten, told nativenewsonline.net.

A New Jersey man is $175,000 richer after settling with the capitol city of Trenton after officers kicked and punched him while siccing a police dog on him for recording their vicious assault of a woman while calling her a “bitch” and “cunt”.
Police also confiscated his camera and deleted his footage, but were unable to delete footage from another man recording as well as footage from a surveillance camera. Both those videos are below.

“Is the system saying that Freddie Gray killed himself?” asked Kevin Moore, who recorded Freddie Gray’s last moments alive as you can see in the video below, “Because nobody’s being held responsible.”
Baltimore prosecutors dropped all charges today.
Last April, a young man entered the back of a western Baltimore Police paddywagon on his own two feet, complaining but otherwise healthy.
He emerged in a coma.

Iowa City police are patting themselves on the back for stopping an unarmed black man at gunpoint and not killing him.
Even the man they stopped, Iowa Hawkeye football player Faith Ekakitie,  congratulated police for not killing him – even though he admits he was in complete fear for his life last Wednesday when police pointed four guns at him and informed him he “fit the description” of a bank robber.

The family of Jerame Reid, who was shot dead as he held his hands up, reached a tentative settlement with the Bridgeton Police Department in New Jersey.
The shooting was caught on dash cam video as well as a witness video, which is the only reason the family managed to reach a settlement.
But the video was not enough to indict the cops.
The settlement is still tentative and the family’s lawyer is hoping for more.

A Texas cop has stepped forward about the Sandra Bland investigation and lobbed serious accusations  at the Waller County District Attorney’s office for excluding his testimony from the grand jury hearing in the criminal case against Texas DPS Officer Brian Encinia, who beat up Sandra Bland, ultimately leading to her untimely death in jail three days later.

An Arizona state trooper who pulled a man over for speeding was captured on video wrestling with the driver on the street as the man yelled out in pain about being forced to lay facedown on the hot asphalt as temperatures soared over 100 degree Monday.
The video was recorded by a passing motorist named Austin Maxwell who posted it on Facebook. Maxwell had pulled up after the altercation began, so we cannot see what led to it.

A New York cop told a teenager in a park that if he did not stop using foul language, “I will kick your ass.”
When the teen pointed out that the Cuba police officer was himself using foul language, the officer accused the teen of being “mouthy,” then demanded to know his name.
The teen pointed out that although New York is a stop-and-identify state, the officer must still have a reasonable suspicion that he is committing a crime in order for him to be legally obligated to provide his name.
