(WARNING: GRAPHIC) around 8pm tonight in @nygovcuomo @andrewcuomo’s #Buffalo NY. we’ve reached a new level of evil, monster like behavior that neglects humanity. you see one cop go to check to see if he’s okay & a cop stops him to remind him to keep moving. this who the cops are. this is how they are being told to behave. this man is bleeding out his ear & they absolutely do not care. wrap your head around this. this is America 2020. this is all over the country & you’ve been blissfully unaware of this. change that. get involved. save lives. ✊ #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter 🏴 #PoliceBrutality #NYPD #NYC #Midtown #Manhattan #BarclaysCenter #Brooklyn #DefundThePolice #FoleySquare #BrooklynBridge #Minneapolis #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #ExcessiveForce #ThisIsAmerica #MinneapolisPolice #ICantBreathe 🏳️ (at Buffalo, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBCUV6gAI9K/?igshid=1h87bcn661pre

😡😡😡😡😡😡 👮🏻‍♂️🖕🏿👮🏻‍♂️🖕🏿👮🏻‍♂️🖕🏿 And people ask why people of color are always protesting? Why NFL players are protesting? Why is there a Black Lives Matter group? Why are black people always being up race? Why don't we just comply with police officers? Why people of color always protest? Here's a better question... Why the hell do you think, ya dummy?🤦🏿‍♂️ #Repost @shaunking ・・・ URGENT: These City of Mesa Police Department Officers need to be fired, arrested & charged immediately. 33 year old Robert Johnson was not just unarmed & non-violent, he never committed a crime. They literally gave him a ticket after knocking him out. And never mentioned the assault - completing false reports on the incident - which is a crime. This video alone busted them.

Police Brutality Under U.S. Law: Know Your Rights

Understand what police brutality means under U.S. law, how courts judge excessive force, and when civil rights are violated.

Police brutality is a term that sparks outrage, grief, and urgent calls for accountability. But what is actually considered police brutality under U.S. law? Understanding the legal definition is essential for victims, families, and communities seeking justice.

Under federal law, police brutality typically falls under violations of constitutional rights particularly the Fourth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments. The Fourth Amendment protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures, which includes the use of excessive force during arrests or detentions. The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, often applied in cases involving incarcerated individuals. The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees due process and equal protection under the law, making discriminatory or abusive police actions unconstitutional.

Police Misconduct Cases: How to Collect Strong Evidence

Learn how to gather strong evidence for a police misconduct case, including video, records, witnesses, and medical proof.

When police misconduct occurs, the experience can be frightening, confusing, and overwhelming. Victims are often left wondering what steps to take next and how they can protect their rights in a system that may already feel stacked against them. One of the most critical actions you can take after an incident involving police misconduct is gathering strong, reliable evidence. Without it, holding law enforcement accountable becomes far more difficult.

Evidence is the foundation of any successful police misconduct case. Whether the incident involved excessive force, wrongful arrest, unlawful search, false reports, or civil rights violations, the details you preserve can determine whether justice is possible. Time is especially important, as memories fade, records can disappear, and physical evidence may be lost if not secured quickly.

What to Do If Police Used a Taser on You Illegally

Wrongfully tased by police? Learn your rights, what evidence to collect, and when to contact a lawyer to protect yourself.

Being wrongfully tased by police is a traumatic and often life-altering experience. A Taser, while often described as a “less-lethal” tool, can cause serious physical injuries, emotional distress, and in some cases long-term or permanent harm. When law enforcement officers misuse Tasers — whether out of poor training, excessive force, or blatant disregard for a person’s rights — it raises serious constitutional and civil rights concerns.
