In Elyria, Ohio, cops encouraged a woman to kick in her ex-boyfriend’s front door, so that she could get her belongings inside. They did not have a warrant. But they followed her inside the man’s house anyways, and proceeded to walk upstairs and surprise him as he got out of the shower. Then they tased him multiple times, arrested him, and charged him with multiple felonies. But then he got a lawyer, and the lawyer reviewed the body cam footage.
By the way, this is the same police department that went viral for the huge SWAT raid where they used the flash bangs against the innocent mom and baby inside. Media report from that here.
In Bartlesville, Oklahoma, a 53-year-old grandmother was attempting to rush her 3-year-old granddaughter to the hospital emergency room, but on the way was pulled over by a Bartlesville Police Officer, who essentially yanked her out of the car, put her in handcuffs, put her in the rear of the police car, and arrested her. Later, the police chief apologized to the community for the way his officer treated the woman.
This footage was submitted by Meika Prince, who went into a two-story Walgreens in Seattle, Washington, only to be accosted by a huge private security guard, who was wearing – not-one – but two, in-operational bodycams, as well as two police badges, one of which appears to be an actual police detective badge from New York. The footage made the local news, after which the security guard was apparently fired. She’s already filed a lawsuit. But can she sue a fake cop for civil rights violations?
A police officer in South Whitley, Indiana pulled over an 18 year old high school girl for allegedly speeding, as well as for one of her headlights being out. Within minutes, he violently pulled her out of her car and slammed her onto the asphalt. He handcuffed her and put her in the rear of his police car. This was her first time ever being pulled over. The charge? She didn’t provide her ID quickly enough. Her father showed up to the scene, and is now fighting for justice.
This officer has now been indicted for the violent illegal arrest of Michael Scurlock over two years ago. But initially, rather than being punished, he was promoted from officer, to the rank of sergeant. Scurlock had been hit by an SUV while riding his bicycle. Instead of allowing him to leave the scene after the incident was over, the officer violently attacked Scurlock, leaving him unconscious for nearly three minutes. Instead of taking him to a hospital, they took him to jail, processed him, and drove him home – ignoring the obvious signs of head trauma. It would ultimately lead to his death nearly a year later.
The feds are now charging a former Hendry County (FL) deputy who body slammed a handcuffed man for merely talking. This was his second time being fired. Although he attempted to falsify the police report so as to appear justified, the entire thing was caught on his supervisor’s body cam.

This is how police officers in Summerville, South Carolina treated a 13 year-old kid who was selling “roses” made from palmetto frawns. A bystander filmed the incident on her phone and then posted it on social media. It then went viral and people were angry about it. Then the Summerville PD posted the raw footage online, hoping that seeing the body cam footage would appease the angry public. In a statement, they defended the officers’ actions.
On March 10, the West Virginia State Police Special Response Team executed a search warrant in McDowell County, West Virginia and shot 21 year old Darius Lester multiple times. The truth is far from what the state police gave to the news media. Darius had been asleep on the couch in the home’s living room, where he liked to sleep. Darius was unarmed at the time he was shot and was still on his bed, as indicated by the pool of blood on and underneath the couch where he was sleeping. Darius has no criminal record. He was not under arrest. He was not suspected of having committed any crime. He was merely sleeping on the couch in a house where police were executing a search warrant unrelated to him.
The New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller recently published a scandalous report detailing private for-profit police training of 1000’s of police officers from around the country that, among other things: promoted the use of unconstitutional policing tactics for motor vehicle stops; glorified violence and an excessively militaristic or “warrior” approach to policing; spoke disparagingly of the internal affairs process; promoted an “us vs. them” approach; and espoused views and tactics that would undermine almost a decade of police reform efforts in New Jersey, including those aimed at de-escalating civilian-police encounters; and which included over 100 discriminatory and harassing remarks by speakers and instructors, with repeated references to speakers’ genitalia, lewd gestures, and demeaning quips about women and minorities.
Specifically, the report details a 2021 seminar held in Atlantic City, NJ, attended by approximately 1,000 police officers from across the country. Along with the report, the Acting Comptroller released video footage…
Here’s a media report about one of the instructors subsequently being charged with criminal violations for the video he bragged about, showing him shooting at a fleeing vehicle.
Here’s another media report about the founder of the training company retiring from police-work shortly after being sued for misconduct.
Here’s the list of states that sent police officers to the 2021 seminar featured in the report and video footage:
This footage comes from Oilton, Oklahoma, where they’ve apparently been through 9 different police chiefs in the past few years, which may not surprise you once you watch this bodycam footage. The video was released by the Oilton Police Department after the local TV news ran a story about an officer confronting and attacking a 76 year old veteran on his own property. But does the video help, or hurt, the Oilton PD? Also, just four months ago, the Oilton PD apparently didn’t even exist.
