Wearing full military gear and wielding high-powered rifles, Delaware state police broke into a home Friday, shooting and killing a dog who was running from them in fear.
The entry was captured on Mark Reedy’s security camera, who says police were looking for guns, but the shooting takes place off-frame.
The video shows the dog running up to the door as they are trying to break in, yelling “state police … search warrant.”

On October 27, YouTube terminated the main channel of Photography is Not a Crime, claiming the channel posts too many videos that are “violent or graphic content that appears to be posted in a shocking, sensational, or disrespectful manner.”
Because of that, PINAC lost hundreds of videos it had posted on the channel.
The videos found on the PINAC YouTube channel are typically also aired by national and local television news stations now that police violence has become national news.

After more than a decade of accusations of abusing citizens, falsifying reports and planting drugs and weapons, the Michigan police officer known as Robocop was convicted today, putting an end to his less than stellar law enforcement career.
And it was only because the incident was captured on dash cam video.
William Melendez, who was fired from the Inkster Police Department in April after a dash cam video surfaced showing him pull over and beat a man named Floyd Dent, was found guilty of assault with intent to do great bodily harm and of misconduct in office.

Canadian police claim they were responding to a call about a burglar with a knife when they encountered  a random man in a parking lot and ordered him down at gunpoint, proceeding to kick, punch and knee him repeatedly in a disturbing incident caught on video.
“I didn’t do anything,” yelled Santokh Bola. “Officer please. Let me go please.”
“I beg you!”
Turns out, Bola had no knife nor was he burglarizing any homes.
And Toronto police had no excuse other than to say he matched a description.

A California state attorney was arguing with another attorney in court when a bailiff walked up to her, ordered her out, then grabbed her by the wrists and swung her to the floor.
Her crime: “speaking loudly” and “acting in an unprofessional manner” towards the opposing attorney.
Apparently, this bailiff hasn’t learned that is routine behavior for attorneys.
The incident took place October 20, but video of the incident was released this week.

Minnesota state police arrested a television journalist Monday night as he was trying to cover a demonstration where protesters had blocked traffic on an interstate.
The activists were protesting the police shooting of 24-year-old Jamar Clark, who witnesses say was handcuffed when he was shot Sunday, even though Minneapolis police claim he was not handcuffed.

Oakland protesters have always raised the bar when it comes to activism against police and this past weekend was no different when a mob of people surrounded a police car with flashing emergency lights and destroyed it.
Yelling, “fuck the police,” the crowd jumped on top of Oakland police car, shattering windows and smashing the roof down while recording early Sunday morning.

A high-speed chase through city streets, bridges and freeways ended on a narrow San Francisco street where Alameda County sheriff’s deputies proceeded to repeatedly strike the suspect with batons before handcuffing him.
The incident, which took place early Thursday morning, was captured on a street surveillance camera, sparking an investigation on the pair of deputies, whose names have not been released.

In an infuriating case of déjà vu all over again, a New Jersey woman named Marella Lawson was stopped by the same cop she had sued for abuse a year earlier, only to get abused in almost the same manner.
This time, the incident was captured on the dash cam of Bridgeton Patrol Officer Shane Sawyers, a hot-headed cop who serves as president of the local police union.
The latest incident took place in March 2015, but the video is only now surfacing after it was obtained by Fox 29.

Holding his gun at his side, a Las Vegas police officer confronted a couple putting their baby inside a car outside a residential home, telling the man that he was a “robbery suspect,” ordering the man to walk towards him.
The man pulled out his phone and began recording, explaining to the cop that he was only picking up his daughter.
The cop said he only wanted to search him for weapons and he’ll be on his way, but the man was not very willing to allow himself to be frisked. But when the cop asked if he had any weapons on him, the man said no.
