i wouldn't say brutality so much, but i was a victim of their deceit  they have a way of twisting, actually downright  lieing on their reports ...when i went before the judge (traffic incident) it's my word against theirs .. who do you think the judge sided  with.well i have no doubt that most cops are guilty of the crimes they are sworn to protect us from..

Good cops,bad cops,we all have them no matter where we live.But I think for the most part they do a good job where I live and I live in a rough town,I would rather have them than not.Have i've been pushed around by them?,sure but I probaby had it coming and what did I do about it?,nothing like I said I probaby had it coming,but that was so many years ago,not part of my life anymore...

Yes, I have been a victim of police brutality.  I won't go into details because it is in the past and takes too long to explain, and I always write too much anyway.  It involved getting man-handled, tackled, and my arm being yanked up from behind me, tearing something in my shoulder area (I still have pain), followed by a ride to the county jail that was just plain wrong.
What did I do?  I contacted the Sheriff's office and said I wanted to file a complaint.  In the office, I filled out the complaint form and was subsequently asked to come in for a taped interview.  My testimony didn't change one word from the written complaint. 
What happened?  The charges of "assaulting an officer" vanished into thin air.  I don't know what happened to the poor excuse for a law enforcement officer.

Not to be contrary but what protection do cops have against the whining media and lowlifes that claim a victim of police action was a model person.. The cops was defending himself and now loses his job and/or goes to jail to appease these whiners.. I prefer the old days when if you were doing something dramatically wrong, a cop busted you over the head and you went to jail.. (period)

Are all cops good??  No by no chance, maybe making employment on the PD a bit more difficult and not so PC would eliminate the thrill seekers and the power grabbers.

A cop gets killed in the line of duty by a street thug, you hear about it one day on the news, a street thug gets killed by the police in self defense you hear about it for months..

Fortunately i havn't,but have heard some terrible things that police have done to people whilst in custody.

Having grown up in a very mean town even by North East standards, the occasional throw down with the police was inevitable. I can't even begin where to start with this question. Having had a short fuse, big mouth, and extremely high most of the time, the police had no sense of humor when confronting me. Lost a few teeth, lots of skin, and much $$$. Did time for knocking one on his ass. Was worth every minute. I did get out of "DODGE" shortly thereafter.

Better be silent. What action can we take against  "crocodiles in UNIFORM " ???
