the cops tell us how they protect us but with a flood of reports like the following you must begin to wonder. then they say its only a few bad cops, but since we don't know which is which, we must assume all of them are the bad ones because if the cops know which ones are bad, how come they don't arrest the bad ones;

When it comes to police accountability, one overarching question remains. ‘Do we want to live in a society whereby law enforcement officials can completely violate a person’s constitutional rights and get away with it?’ For our society to be free, the answer to that question must be a resounding, powerful, unwavering, ‘Hell No!’

In what is shaping up to be a national challenge to law enforcement personnel’s use and abuse of Qualified Immunity, the case of James King is poised to reform modern day policing as we know it. King was minding his own in 2014, working and going to college, when two plains-clothes law enforcement officers approached him. Looking like two regular dudes, King says they began asking him identifying questions, never acknowledging one was a detective and the other an FBI agent.

One of the law enforcement officials then reached in his pocket and took out his wallet. The dynamic duo was looking for a wanted fugitive who had allegedly stolen a box of empty cans and liquor bottles. Instead of finding the fugitive Detective Todd Allen with Grand Rapids Police Department and Special Agent Douglas Brownback with the FBI, found King.

Not knowing the two were officers, King fled when the officer took out his wallet. He said he thought he was “being mugged” and asked those passing by to call police. One woman did and said the two were giving King a beat down, nearly killing him in the process.

King, too, thought he was being killed. He said one of the officers applied a choke hold and he thought he was done for. Photos taken at the time of the attack show scrapes and bruises on his skin, chest, and back, as well as ruptured blood vessels in his eyes, black eyes, and a swollen face. Only when a uniformed officer arrived did King realize the two men were law enforcement officers. He knew they had the wrong guy, and when the cops discovered their mistake, they allegedly ordered those who were recording the incident on their cell phone to delete the footage..........read more......
