Very true.

I had a bad experience where one actually lied at trial and my lawyer told me he thought the officier was gonna lie about a detail before the hearing got started in the hallway. I remember thinking that was funny cause i never actually an officer would lie acutally under oath. When we got to the point of the trail and the officer did actually lie about a fact and my jaw dropped. My lawyer in the hall after the hearing was something like "these young officers have a lot of pressure on them to get convictions from prosecutors and their head of departments, etc. So they will make small lies or bend the truth. Their human and its an everyday occurance." I mean thats bullsh*t IMO cause it impacts peoples lives usually negatively.

I have cool experiences with cops and really bad ones. Their a couple more bad ones, but the one above pissed me off the most.

“Stop Resisting” | The Agitator


^Another case of overzealous cops i stumbled upon this morning.

I was watching a mini Cops marathon with a friend last night and we were cracking up at first about how the cops would continue to yell/scream “Get on the Ground” or “Stop Resisting” when the person was already on the ground or had clearly stopped resisting. But after a while we became upset and were offended about how cops were treating suspects. Its ridiculous.

I have a problem with that clip. First its from a source that seem to be out to get cops and then the clip seem to start at a convient spot. What did the guy do to have the cops do that? Something is missing from the story

Seeing as the guy says his phone is busted and they have video evidence of the cop pointing a gun at them, I'd say it is true. Cops like this should be fired, and brought up on charges. We allow our cops to get away with too much these days.
