Two Beaumont Police Officers were charged over this beating. These cops must have been real brain surgeons to do this one. They know there are cameras in the patrol cars, and they proceed to assault someone infront of the camera?

Police violence during routine domestic visits are on the rise. Elderly citizens have been ‘tazed’ while attending their grandchildren’s quinceaneras and pets have been nonchalantly put down for barking while their masters are savagely beaten for demanding Constitutional rights.
In yet another example of this type of police brutality, officers serving a DWI warrant the day before the defendant was scheduled to appear at a court hearing regarding the charge entered the multifamily dwelling and immediately shot and killed the residents’ three dogs, two of which were puppies only a few months old. Three bullets were fired into each of the canine’s heads, execution style. One was cowering under a table in an act of submission when he was neutralized.
After overstepping their [police] bounds, local media began reporting the warrant was related to a drug trafficking charge. Trumping up charges is a common tactic to garner community support for police brutality. The truth of the matter in this case is that the infraction was nothing more than misdemeanor possession of a personal amount of marijuana. Since there was no evidence beyond simple possession of the controlled substance, there was no reason for this type of extreme situation. In fact, the entire case was to be decided the very next morning, legally in a court of law.
But in a case like this, we can clearly see the reasons for extreme laws regarding minor league controlled substances like marijuana. These laws are a means to allow police jurisdiction over common citizens and to effectively strip them of their pesky rights.
Agencies like the Drug Task Force run by the Huntington Police Department are flushed with cash from the ‘war on drugs’ and desperate to justify their steep expenditures. Agencies can identify anyone as being a potential drug trafficker for simple possession. But here in the ‘land of the free and home of the brave’ this isn’t supposed to be the case.
Police need clear evidence in order to escalate a charge from misdemeanor possession to drug trafficking. Most major cities have completely decriminalized marijuana and have officially stopped targeting users who possess minor amounts of the substance altogether. Since the subject in question was only in possession of about 3 grams of marijuana which had been rolled into a blunt, it was clear this was meant for personal consumption and not intended for sale.
With an average cost of $10,400 for this type of raid, one has to consider the fiscal validity of an operation like this. Taxpayers’ hard earned money is being squandered to bring petty crimes to justice in hopes they will turn into a better collar.
Between the ‘war on drugs’ and the ‘war on terror’ our rights are being eroded. In the name of catching drug dealers and terrorists we are giving up our most cherished rights. What is the real crime perpetrated here and who should be brought to justice? Illegal police tactics need to be investigated and if they are found to be unlawful the guilty parties should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

London Police drag a disabled man out of his wheel chair and assault him during a protest in London.
Whether Mr McIntire had done anything is irrelevant – the Police were far to violent in their dealings with them on this occassion.

This was a protest done by the people regarding the outcome of the recent Iranian elections. Seeing the police violence in this video somehow makes you feel better you don’t live in that area. At least, this is true for most people who have not yet experienced police abuse locally.

This is just a short video on a police officer apprehending an old lady, then kneeing her in the body when she was trying to reach for something from the officer’s belt. Of course, it may just be a knee-jerk reaction by the officer, but then that kind of police violence on an old lady would be hard to defend.

They said that the license plate light was off. Simple case, but the guy gets beaten up and kicked on the eye, which needed surgery to be treated. How’s that for police violence? A case was filed and the jury decided for the plaintiff. But the victim is still unsatisfied as the cops who did this to him is still in the force.

How’s this for a crime? Standing on the corner of the street! If that’s not bad enough, you also have police violence inflicted on the man during arrest, which left the man with a blackeye. You really have to wonder why such instances happen, and in broad daylight. Good thing the scene was caught on camera.

This video is disturbing because civilians are given no chance for relief. You make a complaint against a cop, you get dished with a bunch of BS, and if you don’t buy it, you get cuffed. That really is a mind-boggling situation. It may be paranoia, but you can’t help but be scared of stuff like these.

This video is disturbing because of the police abuse caught on tape. You have a guy in a wheelchair, and the The cops tried to prove he was really disabled by dumping him from the wheelchair. That was really smart, huh! And that must really hurt also for that deputy who had lost the job.
