May as well just start an ongoing thread of all the police abuse around the nation since it's pretty much a daily occurrence now. Here's the latest.

Earlier this week, the San Diego Police Department traumatized an innocent man by pointing dozens of laser sighted machine guns at him as he stepped out onto his balcony Tuesday morning.

The victim, who posted a video of the encounter under the YouTube user name Demetrice Gordon said that a large number of police officers surrounded his building with guns drawn because he “fit the description” of a “black man with a beard.”

“They accused me of being armed and came to the wrong home after a woman with a very suspect story claimed to have been beaten and threatened with a gun. While this was happening the person they were supposed to be looking for got away,” said Gordon.

In the first few minutes of the video, as police begin to surround the building, they can actually be seen pointing their guns directly at onlookers who were taking cell phone video recordings. People in the background can be heard scrambling to get their children inside, not to protect them from the alleged criminal, but from the heavily armed police.

Other police reportedly spread out along the street, telling onlookers to get inside and turn their cellphone cameras off.

Of course they want the cameras off. They don't want the public to see the way they abuse people's rights.

This crap is getting worse by the day. Until the public decides that enough is enough, this is not going to stop.

While the cop was out of control, the driver certainly could have avoided everything by being cooperative. This concerns me much less than other instances of absolute abuse of power by police.

I'm getting sick of white cops shooting black criminals to. I mean seriously, the end result is that instead of one dead black criminal and one black criminal behind bars for murder all we have is one dead black criminal. It's a complete waste of a dead black criminal.

Cop s Tip For Not Getting Raped By A Cop Don t Get Pulled Over

In response to the arrests of three law enforcement officials in Oklahoma for sexually assaulting women while on the job, an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper told women they can avoid getting raped by a cop if they simply follow traffic laws.

Raw Story first pointed out on Tuesday that Capt. George Brown, a state trooper, shared a few tips for women in an interview with local NBC News affiliate KJRH. Brown told the KJRH anchor that women can keep their car doors locked and speak through a cracked window if a trooper approaches them. If the trooper asks a woman to get out of the car, Brown said, she can ask "in a polite way" why he wants her to do that.

But the "best tip that he can give," the anchor said on air of his interview with Brown, "is to follow the law in the first place so you don’t get pulled over."

That is a great solution.

There are ways to make it stop, just depends on the level of support given at the political level. At the state, federal or county level you would want to pass a law or measure restricting police activities and encourage funding sensitivity training. At the city or town level you could pass ordinances barring police from acting a certain way or working in certain areas.

But, if all that fails there is another route - stop allowing police to have military style training, and don't allow them to use military resources like armored personal carriers in the streets. There is reason why there is a National Guard to respond to crisis situations.

The police are meant to focus on law enforcement and keeping public order to an extent, whereas the National Guard are the ones trained to take care of things when they really get out of control. It seems like the police are trying to act outside the bounds of the law and their jurisdiction, and become a military unit rather than a civilian run police force.

Actually, no, I don't look for them and that's the sad part. They just show up in my news feeds. That's how common the problem is becoming.

Much more common in your news feed isn't much more common. I believe problems were more common in the past but with cameras all over it's easier to catch and the libs pass it around like it's free cocaine. I think they need it to feel right for the day. Most of the problems are people acting like assholes and expecting to be given special consideration. Most of us grow out of that by the time we're out of diapers.

Former Prince George’s County police officer James Harrison was found guilty of second-degree assault and was given a one-year suspended sentence in December of 2012 for the brutal beating of a UMD student, which was caught on video in 2010.

Harrison only ended up serving 30 days of home confinement.

Despite being convicted of a felony Harrison was able to retire before the trial and keep his full pension. But that is not the worst of it.

Who is to say there aren't 10,000 bad stories a day? What is bad enough is relative.

I just read this link, and first let me say this.

The police CAN lie to you. SCOTUS has ruled on that.

As for the seizing of the car. I don't see how they justified that.

As for the leaving him stranded on the side of the road with no phone and no money, inexcusable.

As for him having to pay the tow fee. that's how it works.

I've no doubt this kid will prevail in court

You'd prefer they handle felony arrests how, "Excuse me Sir, would you mind coming down here to speak with us please? We think you have a gun but would you mind leaving it inside, they make us nervous."

If that were your wife, son, daughter, mother, father, grandfather that was killed/beaten by police you'd sing a different tune.
Cops pin on their courage and strap on their manhood every time they put on their costume to go to "work".
