An Atlantic City police officer threatened to sic a dog on a teenager for recording him during a traffic stop. The cop also threatened to knock the teen out if he did not stop recording.
The teen turned the camera off.
But a 1:21 video surfaced on the internet earlier this morning on the Mediatakeout Facebook page where it’s quickly going viral.
New York City police officers tasered a pregnant 17-year-old girl after she refused to let them inside her apartment without a warrant Friday night.
NYPD cops were already in the building when they made their way upstairs to the fourth floor in response to a fight between the girl’s boyfriend and her sister’s boyfriend over a video game.
The girl’s boyfriend had already left the apartment, but the girl, Dailene Rosario, who is 14 weeks pregnant, remained inside, arguing with her sister’s boyfriend when several cops banged on the apartment door.
A Mississippi cop was fired two days after he was caught on video repeatedly punching a handcuffed suspect.

But the Jackson Police Department is being sued by a former white police officer claiming she was fired because she is white.
A Texas cop tasered a man for doing nothing more than shuffling his feet with his hands in his pockets while standing at a bus stop Tuesday.
It appeared the man was dancing, but he may have just had a full bladder.
He may also have been flipping cars off, prompting a woman to call police – which should only be done as a last resort.
Either way, witnesses can be heard saying he was not threatening anybody.
Witnesses can also be heard saying the man did not appear to be on drugs, but likely had a mental imbalance.
A Southern California sheriff’s deputy who threatened to arrest a man for attempting to file a complaint against him was simply having “a bad day,” his supervisors said.
San Bernardino County deputy Michael Bradbury did not have any actual grounds to arrest Duncan Hicks inside the sheriff’s station in Victorville on January 20.
But he figured he would make that part up. Or as he described it, “create something.”
That, of course, is nothing new. Cops create stories all the time to justify their arrests. Especially in contempt-of-cop situations as was the case here.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol released dash cam video from Monday’s incident in which they released a police dog on a man trying to record his cousin’s arrest.

Ohio state troopers were arresting a man while his cousin live streamed on Facebook Live Monday, resulting in troopers releasing a police dog to attack the man with the camera.
Holding the phone was Dannie Oliver, who was explaining to viewers that the cops had just slammed him to the ground, pointing guns and tasers at them.
It is not clear why his cousin was being arrested but it appears as if he had just pulled into the driveway with the cops behind him.
After almost a year of legal wrangling between the ACLU and Utah prosecutors, body cam footage showing Salt Lake City police officers shooting a teenager wielding a metal rod was released Monday – four months after the cops were cleared of any wrongdoing in the shooting.
