This is what happens when you live in a police state full of police who are either ignorant as fuck, bribed by corporations, or run by people in power who are bought by corporations. Not to mention that police are never held accountable according to US law, thus allowing them to abuse their power in any way they please.

I saw this a while ago... Some more delightfully disturbing cases of police brutality/ignorance:

Well that's just disgusting. Vortex when you said they are run by people in power who are bought by corporations. How can the police be "bought"? The police are police, how can they possibly be owned by anyone else?

The bigger issue isn't only that they're bought,it's the militarization of them from training onward. We have them fighting "war on drugs", "war on terrorism", etc...some police departments (NYPD, for example) have quotas for stopping people and frisking them...Their training would leave many to believe that common citizens are the target, not criminals. The Constitutional rights of individuals get thrown out the window if they're at all suspect.
On top of that, there's absolutely no repercussion for police brutality. The police get a written reprimand or something to that effect, not an actual trial and conviction, even though they've committed crimes.
Not all policemen are terrible, but the job does attract some less than admirable individuals...And these issues are rampant all the way up to the level of the FBI (remember how they were trained to see all Muslims as terrorists? http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/09/fbi-muslims-radical/all/1).

The police are police, how can they possibly be owned by anyone else?The police routinely take donations, and most of those donations are corporate. During the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York, the big banks donated very large sums of money to the New York Police Department, and look what happened there; the first amendment of the constitution was snuffed out because there were powerful interests who wanted the protests to stop. Our government is no longer run by our constitution or the people. Break the laws of the United States and you get no repercussions as long as you hold some sort of powerful position. If normal people break the law, they get arrested, and sometimes they get arrested without breaking the law. The only time someone in power is arrested is when that person pissed off someone else who was either wealthy or powerful. This is not a democracy. It is a fascist, oligarchic aristocracy.

That's all definitely true, but they're also willing to go out on a limb for whoever pays them.

Oh, for sure. Just saying that that alone isn't the issue, it compounded with the militarization makes things a complete mess...and not all police forces that are brutal are bought. Plenty behave badly without monetary incentive.

Also, it's about time someone sued the police...This is over the Occupy Wall St pepper spraying incident with Anthony Bologna.

Thankfully not all police are like this and exercise common sense and not extreme adherence to the law.
