Some policemen are very professional and are really and truely concerned about our safety. Others are arrogant thugs who get off on tasering people, clubbing people, spraying people with pepper spray, the whole power trip thing.

We have a case in our office right now where a kid was told that he was under arrest, the officers tackled him, he broke their tackle (being a former state champion wrestler), ran a few feet, stopped and got on the ground. At that point, the police siced a dog on him, clubbed him for a few minutes on the back, legs, and arms, punched him in the face, pepper sprayed him, tasered him, all of the above all after he had knelt and said he wasn't resisting (we have a polygraph report confirming that story, the police have yet to submit one on their behalf).

And you know what? The officers didn't even get written up for that.

That department is known for thugs, it's sad that we have so little recourse against them. I'm more afraid of guys like that than 99% of criminals.
