DENVER (CN) - A trigger-happy cop Tasered a therapy dog and then shot it to death after it had been caught by a fellow officer - and the abuse was caught on videotape - the dog's disabled owner claims in court.

---

---

While closing in on the dog, one police officer apparently tasered it, then the animal control agent hooked it around it's neck with a noose, as the noosed dog makes a futile attempt to run away, the second officer guns it down, shooting it five times, despite it being obvious after the first shot the dog was noosed.

An Oxnard police officer attacked a man for attempting to video record an arrest last week, twisting the man’s arm behind his back and violently shoving him against a bench after the man had placed the phone in his pocket.

The cop threatened to arrest the man for refusing to hand over his phone as “evidence” before a commanding officer intervened, telling the cop he was out of line.

The man, who goes by Angel B on Youtube, said he was allowed to leave, but he never did get the name of the officer.

And that is important if we want to at least try to hold him accountable.

The video lasts 38 seconds and shows Angel B approaching the arrests but remaining far enough away where he was not interfering. The cop storms up to him and appears to take a swing as the camera turns off.

Douglas Zerby was finishing up watering his lawn when neighbors, completely brainwashed by the police state, called the cops because they saw Zerby holding what they thought was a gun. It was actually a water hose nozzle.

Officers approached the position of Doug Zerby and without any warning whatsoever, fired upon Zerby, fatally wounding him with 12 rounds that entered his chest arms and lower legs.

Zerby’s family sued the Long Beach Police department for this horrid event and won. According to KTLA 5 News,

This type of violent escalation by police is now commonplace in today’s society. Only by challenging them will we win. However, the monetary award in this case is not enough, these cops should be behind bars. Punishing tax-payers for the negligence and aggressiveness of cops is NOT a solution.

The North Carolina Highway Patrol is responding to a video caught by ABC's "20/20" showing state troopers in Raleigh dangerously speeding.

They said none of these incidents was during an emergency.

ABC clocked one of the police cruisers going 80 mph headed to a Dunkin' Donuts.

Another was caught traveling 75 mph in a 45 mph zone.

In a statement, Highway Patrol said, "We are committed to being a law enforcement agency dedicated to serving the citizens of North Carolina. We require our troopers to operate their vehicles in careful and prudent manner."

It also said Highway Patrol has taken appropriate action against the three troopers involved but didn't elaborate.

If a citizen is caught going 15 mph over the limit, they could lose their license or even face jail time.

This was on Saturday night (sunday morning) 11-17-2013.

A knife fight was reported in a Reynoldsburg, Ohio apartment complex. There was screaming and commotion outside our door, so...

We went to see what was up and had weapons pointed at us and physically grabbed for filming/witnessing the tazer of one of the suspects. "Get in your house NOW!" "Get in your Apartment & Shut the Door!" Profanity and unprofessional behavior just cuz we were filming? That's standard operating procedure for small town Reynoldsburg cops.

Apparently, in Reynoldsburg the cops can order you into your home AND to shut your front door just cuz. Don't dare have a camera, you'll be singled out, grabbed and pushed. Assault charges?

In the end, 2 brothers were taken away by the police. No one was stabbed and one of the brothers was tazed.

The neighborhood isn't that great but the police are worse. With cops like these I think I'll be moving out of the Reynoldsburg area forthwith.

The officer that grabbed my arm is William Early, badge #93, good luck with this cat.

A Pennsylvania mother is planning to sue the Tullytown Police Department for allegedly torturing her 14-year-old son with a Taser while he was handcuffed, Raw Story reported.

Marissa Sargeant revealed graphic images of her son bruised, cut and swollen after he was arrested by police for shoplifting at Walmart, along with another relative.

...

Yet, the police give a different account of how events transpired.

According to Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler, the Tullytown officers fired a Taser and hit the boy in the face after he escaped from their police car following his arrest.

Heckler said that police yelled warnings at the teen and fired a stun gun to subdue him because they were “fearing for his safety,” NBC10 reported.

Still, Sargeant isn’t buying it. She speculates that officers beat her son and then bullied him into slience:

“That doesn’t sound right. There’s no way, if he was running from behind, that he would get hit with a taser in the front of his face,” she observed.

I got pulled over on the way in to the local park meeting a friend to play basketball. The officer is notorious in my area for this kind of thing. I'm most likely the first person to ever record him. What isn't in the video is him approaching my passenger window and also not telling me why I got pulled over. He eventually told me it was because of my window tint but did not even test for it. He found nothing in my car after telling me he "smelled enough marijuana in the car to consider it probable cause." He called in back up and the other officer had the nerve to ask me "so what's you're problem with the police?" I wouldn't mind having some legal feedback, if I can Id like to take legal actions against this rogue, unruly officer.

NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) – A high-speed chase through the streets of North Texas ends with an officer shooting and killing a suspect. The officer involved could face up to 20 years in prison for what has now been deemed a crime.

In a rare move, a Dallas County Grand Jury has indicted Patrick Tuter, a former Garland police officer, for manslaughter. It was August of last year when Tuter fired 41 bullets at unarmed suspect Michael Vincent Allen.

The truly and deliberately evil men are a very small minority; it is the appeaser who unleashes them on mankind; it is the appeaser’s intellectual abdication that invites them to take over. When a culture’s dominant trend is geared to irrationality, the thugs win over the appeasers. When intellectual leaders fail to foster the best in the mixed, unformed, vacillating character of people at large, the thugs are sure to bring out the worst. When the ablest men turn into cowards, the average men turn into brutes.

...Saleh was so troubled by what he saw that he decided to install video cameras in his store. Not to protect himself from criminals, because he says he has never been robbed. He installed the cameras — 15 of them — he said, to protect him and his customers from police.

Since he installed the cameras in June 2012 he has collected more than two dozen videos, some of which have been obtained by the Miami Herald. Those tapes, and Sampson’s 38-page criminal history — including charges never even pursued by prosecutors — raise some troubling questions about the conduct of the city’s police officers...

A handcuffed 17-year-old North Carolina boy died of gunshot wounds in a Durham Police Department patrol car Tuesday morning, according to a 911 recording made public Wednesday.

Jesus Huerta was being transported to police headquarters on a trespassing charge by officer Samuel A.M. Duncan when, in the department’s parking lot, Duncan heard the shot from the backseat and jumped out of the car, leaving it to roll into a van with Huerta still inside, Durham police said.

In the recording of the 911 call, a police officer radioed emergency dispatchers just before 3 am EST Tuesday morning to report “shots fired” in the parking lot of the station. The dispatcher asked the calling officer if he was hurt, according to the recording. “I don’t believe so,” the officer said in response.

The officer is heard asking for medical assistance for a "gunshot wound. Approximately 18-year-old male, not breathing."

"When I first saw it I thought it was a hoax," Assistant Police Chief Scott Whitney told NBC4. "It's not the way we do business; it's not the way we're trained, so I wasn't happy when I saw it."

It’s unclear what precedes the incident, or what follows after the video ends, but a 21-year-old man, who claims to have shot the video spoke with a blog called Photography is Not a Crime: PINAC | Photography is Not a Crime.

The man, going by "Angel-B," claims he was pushed into a picnic table as the officer continued to take his cellphone away. He said another officer stepped in and stopped the alleged aggressor.

Some Oxnard residents, who chose to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation from police, say they aren’t surprised by the video. A man who says he’s had run-ins with the department claims there is a widespread feeling of distrust with the department.

"This is far from an isolated incident but it is rare for a police department to publicly respond to the criticism, assuring they will investigate, so credit must be given to the department," Carlos Miller, who runs the blog, said in a statement to NBC4. "We look forward to hearing the results of that investigation."

Whitney assured the public that they should not fear the department.

"Our officers get disciplined when they make mistakes, people make mistakes. There's no need to fear for retaliation," Whitney said.

Oxnard police say they would like to speak with the man who shot the video. In an e-mail sent to NBC4, the man says he is willing to meet with police, and he plans on recording it.

“Without any warning, the second Torrance police car accelerated to 25-30 mils per hour, suddenly turned and crashed broadside into David’s black Honda Ridgeline, spinning him around and tearing off the rear axle. The airbags and side curtain airbags in David’s vehicle deployed. David’s upper body was thrown over the console, toward the passenger seat,” the lawsuit states.

One or both of the unnamed officers then opened fire on Perdue, riddling the truck with bullets that pierced the windshield and the airbags, narrowly missing the innocent driver. Perdue was then ripped from the driver’s seat and a gun was placed to his head, and he was forced to lay face down on the street.

In a separate incident 25 minutes earlier on February 7th, Torrance police officers opened fire on two female Latino newspaper deliverers driving on a residential street. Police had again mistaken the two women for one large muscular black male suspect. The uniformed hit squad shot over 102 rounds into the women’s blue pickup truck, not counting rounds that missed. Similarly, the attackers were protected and their identities concealed, but the city was ordered to pay $4.2 million to their victims.

JASPER -
A Jasper woman who filed a civil rights lawsuit after she says she was beaten by Jasper police officers has won a $75,000 settlement according to her attorney. Defendants in the case include Jasper Mayor Mike Lout, Captain Gerald Hall, former dispatcher Lindsey Davenport, former officer Ricky Grissom, former officer Ryan Cunningham and the City of Jasper.

Keyarika Diggles was arrested May 5 for an allegedly unpaid ticket. Her attorney said she was brutalized by former Jasper Police Officers while dispatcher Davenport watched without intervening.

"Ms. Diggles was dragged like an animal into a darkened "detox" cell, even though she was not intoxicated, and left battered and bruised on the floor for hours without medical attention. To add further insult to injury, she was then stripped naked and illegally searched," says a statement issued by the Bernsen Law Firm.

The incident was captured on surveillance video which was used as evidence in the case.

According to 12News file stories, the incident resulted in the termination officers Grissom and Cunningham. Dispatcher Lindsey Davenport was terminated from her position because following her arrest on a non-related family violence case.

ST. LOUIS • Cortez Cooper, whose name was mistakenly put on charges in a drug case against his brother, went to police headquarters Monday to check on whether the faulty criminal record was fixed.

It was. But the onus of the earlier mistake lived on. Officers handcuffed Cooper on the spot to see whether he might be the brother Cecil, who is now wanted on a warrant in St. Louis County, even though he already is jailed in the city.

The names, it appears, remain linked in law enforcement records, possibly forever. So Cortez Cooper — who has no record of arrests or convictions, according to paperwork he obtained Monday — fears that in any future contact with police, he may have to prove yet again that he’s not Cecil.

He carries with him a copy of a court order in which a judge released him from the drug charges and declared that he is not his brother. He showed it Monday to officers, who then set him free. It was not clear what would have happened had he not carried the paper.

For the first time in more than 15 years, a Chicago police officer was criminally charged Monday in a fatal, off-duty shooting because Cook County prosecutors said he acted recklessly, opening fire over his left shoulder from inside his car into an alley occupied by at least four people.

Chicago police Detective Dante Servin, 45, stood with his hands clasped behind his back as his attorney entered a plea of not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter, reckless discharge of a firearm and reckless conduct. Servin turned himself in to state's attorney's office investigators earlier in the day and later was ordered released on $75,000 bail.

POINT MARION, Pa. —The Point Marion Police Department in Fayette County closed its doors after settling lawsuits against police officers.

"We had to lay off the officers due to the fact that we do not have police liability insurance," said Point Marion Borough Manager Arthur Strimel.

Strimel said the insurance carrier dropped the department after paying two settlements against the department's only two police officers, including Kevin Lukart, who has been in trouble before.

Lukart had been previously fired from the Apollo Police Department after he was charged with exposing himself to a 17-year-old.

He was also fired from the Braddock Police Department after a WTAE news camera captured Lukart punching a man in handcuffs.

Any Dallas officer involved in a police shooting — whether the officer fired a weapon or witnessed the gunfire — will now have the right to remain silent for 72 hours under a new department policy.

And even before they give a statement about the shooting, the officers can watch any available video before they give a statement.

Previously an officer who witnessed a shooting typically would have been required to give a statement to police investigators within hours of the event. And the officer who fired, while not required to speak right away, typically did so. The new policy now requires the firing officer to wait at least three days before giving a complete statement to investigators.

Chief David Brown quietly made major policy change less than a month after surveillance video went public in October that showed an officer shooting a mentally ill man for no apparent reason — contrary to a witnessing officer’s account that led to a felony charge against the victim.
