The Blue Line

North Carolina deputies shot and killed an unarmed man Sunday while trying to search a home for an assault suspect who no longer lived there.
Harnett County sheriff’s deputies arrived at the home of John Livingston at 3:30 a.m., demanding to be let inside.

But that prompted deputies to kick in the door, force their way inside and begin beating, tasing and pepper spraying Livingston

A veteran police officer in Texas lost his job after his bizarre ticket-writing habit came to light where he would send citations through certified mail to people he had never pulled over.
 
Houston police officer Dave Carter claimed he determined these drivers were speeding by pacing their speed from his own car while off-duty.

It’s been more than 24 hours since Minneapolis police shot Jamar Clark and there is still no official word on whether he is alive or dead.
And there is still no evidence on whether or not he was handcuffed when police shot him.
And there is still no confirmation as to whether or not he is even the suspect.
But now there is a growing horde of protesters growing angrier by the minute as police continue to stonewall them.
Clark, 24, was last seen being lifted into an ambulance and transported to a local hospital.

Philip White, an 80-year-old blind man, was harassed and assaulted by two law enforcement officers in 2012.
Today, he is more than $400,000 richer as a result of that attack.
All because a Denver police officer named Kyllion Chafin took offense after the blind man asked to feel his badge to ensure he was truly a cop.
Not only did Chafin refuse to allow White to feel his badge, the cop forced White’s hands behind his back and pushed him forward, resulting in White’s head being slammed into a hard ticket counter.

A disgraced police officer in Arizona was arrested on charges of sexually exploiting a minor only two days after he was arrested on charges of domestic violence.

Phoenix police officer Richard Tucker was taken into custody on Nov. 4 for a domestic abuse spat after his wife accused him of choking her, according to ABC 15.

A fender bender with a Florida Highway Patrol trooper in a busy intersection on the streets of Miami left a driver speechless when the law enforcement official lied about wrecking his car, even going as far as covering up the accident scene.
Francis François says he stopped to let traffic clear when all of a sudden a black unmarked SUV struck his car.

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.

A Colorado cop is coming under fire after a mentally disabled woman is accusing him of having sex with her while she was drunk.
Denver police officer Travis Jackson was suspended on Tuesday by the Denver Civil Service Commission for 20 days but to the dismay of many not for sexual misconduct.

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.

A Texas man who was threatening suicide ended up killed by cops, which is almost a daily occurrence in this country.
The only difference is, this time it was a fellow cop they shot and killed, a Webb County sheriff’s deputy named Cesar Cuellar.
And in the eyes of police, that changed everything.
