Cops Grab a Guy in his Driveway, Beat and Torture Him, Lie About It, Then Get Promoted

In Limerick, Maine, three Maine State Police troopers arrived at the home of Justin Savage and his girlfriend Shawna Morse on a disturbance call. Within fifteen minutes of their arrival, they would basically beat and torture Justin, throwing him in a police car handcuffed, with leg restraints, bloodied, and with a hood covering his face so that he couldn’t see or breathe. They charged him with numerous crimes and issued a press release two days later, accusing him of numerous crimes, including breaking the ankle of one of the troopers during the incident. The officers were not wearing body cams. Fortunately however, video just recently surfaced showing what actually happened that night…

Arrested for Reading a Book During a Thunderstorm | He Wins in Court!

Remember this guy who was in his car reading a book in a gas station parking lot, waiting for a thunderstorm to pass? Officer John LaValley of the Athens-Clarke Police Department (Georgia) arrested him for not providing his ID just because the gas station clerk was worried that he had been in the gas station parking lot for too long. I did a video on it about 5 months ago. Well now that criminal case has gone to court, and the innocent guy who was arrested (John Choe) won. But it’s not over yet.

Cops Respond to the Wrong House at 2 am, Shoot Homeowner Protecting His Family

At around 1:45 a.m., the Grand Prairie Police Department responded to a 911 call. But because of a dispatch error, officers went to the wrong house. The homeowner, Thomas Simpson, woke up to his dogs barking, armed himself, and stepped into his garage—only to be met with officers who, according to him, never announced they were police. Within moments, shots were fired, and Simpson was hit in the leg.

One moment this guy is driving through Kentucky, with his 3 year old daughter asleep in the backseat… But just a few moments later, he’s outside his car, on the asphalt getting the **** kicked out of him by a Kentucky State Trooper named Seth Owens.

Wrong Mom Arrested on Christmas Eve | Lawsuit UPDATE!

Imagine it’s Christmas Eve. You’ve just returned from a family cruise, you’re tired but happy, and you can’t wait to get home for the holidays. Instead, you’re suddenly surrounded by deputies, handcuffed in front of your children, and told you’re under arrest for a crime you didn’t commit. That’s exactly what happened to Jennifer Heath Box, a 50-year-old mother from Texas, who ended up spending 75 miserable hours in a Florida jail… all because police got the wrong Jennifer. I first told you her story 8 months ago, telling you about the lawsuit the Institute For Justice filed on her behalf, asking you to send them donations to help fund their efforts. Now I have a big update on that lawsuit, that many of you helped make a reality.

Man Crosses the Street to Buy a Soda, But Gets Busted (literally) For Jaywalking

It was just before 1 a.m. in Mansfield, Ohio. A 67-year-old man set out on a simple errand: to grab a 50-cent soda from a vending machine at the Car Wash & Mini Mart, just a block from his home. But he would never get that soda, because the Mansfield Police Department rolled up on him and immediately detained him for allegedly jaywalking across this empty street. Knowing that he did nothing wrong, the man complained. But he was then forcefully grabbed and then slammed to the parking lot asphalt, severely injuring him. An army of officers then surrounded him, mocked him and belittled him. All the while ignoring his obvious physical injuries.

“Gypsy Cop” Moves 4,000 Miles Away, Then Does It Again

Police officer Brandon LeBlanc left Louisiana after 17 years of law enforcement experience to become a brand new rookie cop in Juneau, Alaska. But just months into his new job, a routine call turns into a brutal moment caught on camera that shocks an entire community, sparks protest, and forces the City to take action and to release the body cam and dash cam footage. Discovering the rookie officer was previously in Louisiana for 17 years, the community is left wondering why he left Louisiana in the first place…

Cop Records Himself Mistreating Elderly Man at Traffic Stop, Gets Fired (for now)

81 year-old Olen Lane had a stroke 5 years ago and suffers from memory issues. Last month he got pulled over by Deputy Jason Johnson with the Hempstead (Arkansas) Sheriff’s Office for speeding. He either missed, or ignored, all the obvious signs that this elderly man was suffering from dementia. Instead of doing what he should have done to protect the man, he did exactly the opposite. Deputy Johnson did get fired, but without your help, he’s likely about to pop up in your little town next. In this video, I list the obvious signs of dementia that police officers should always be looking for, as well as what they should do when they see them.

SWAT Team Arrives 5 Years Too Late, Causes 20K Worth of Damage, Then Refuses to Pay

Kim received an alert on her phone that someone was at her front door. To her surprise, it was a SWAT team with their armored vehicle, about to break down her front door and ransack her home. Eventually, detectives with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department realized they had arrived at least 5 years too late to find their suspect. Leaving behind over 20 grand worth of damage to Kim’s home, they offered no explanation, no apology, and refused to pay for the damage they caused.

Cops Beat DEAF Guy For “NOT LISTENING”

Police officers in Jacksonville, Florida arrived at the home of a 44-year-old deaf man after a reported domestic disturbance. Despite knowing the man was deaf, officers immediately began shouting orders, which they knew could not be heard – or easily followed. Within seconds, they slammed the man onto the ground and continued shouting un-heard orders, as the man cried out that he had done nothing wrong. Afterwards, the officers mocked the deaf man, telling him that he should have “just listened.”
