I thought that with all of the diverse news sources I tend to regular that most if not all major police atrocities would cross my radar at one point or another. That was until I stumbled across Information Liberation and realized that low level police corruption is much more rampant than I could have ever imagined.
The site runs so many stories concerning negative police behavior that I can't keep up and would never imagine just re-posting them all here. So with that said, I figure sharing three of their most recent updates concerning your friendly neighborhood police officer would be a good way to start. Check out the rest at Information Liberation.
Police hold a town hostage to search for a man with an umbrella, which was mistaken for a gun. Moral of the story according to them is that it's better to report a case and waste tax payer money to put an entire town on edge, than to, let's say, open you're freaking eyes! Who is the person that calls the police reporting an umbrella as a gun?! Some paranoid, mass media consuming, see something say something advocate that eats up what the government tells them, "Don't trust your neighbor!"
Next up the police beat a man over a parking dispute then proceed to chase his brother to where he lives for filming the incident. They go on to ran sack his house, knock his wheel chair bound aunt to the ground, beat him up, and arrest him.
Lastly the police chase down a duo on a dirt bike and when they don't stop immediately the cops ram in to them with their cruiser killing the driver.
Justice well served. Going on a manhunt for a man with an umbrella, knocking an elderly woman to the ground to arrest someone for filming the police, and killing a guy for riding his dirt bike down the road illegally.
