I will use part of my story while telling you this.  The night I was arrested the police told me if
I even thought about hitting them they would hit me back. The fact was there were 5 policeman
there that night.

Secondly, this is not the first time they have threatened me. The police threatened me on another
incident a few years back as well. They use their badges as a police threat that they can do
anything they want. In reality, they are just like you and me, take away their badges and they
are everyday citizens like us.

The badge is used for threats and brutality around the U.S.A.  The sad part is these police get
away with it because people don't have the money to fight them because they are protected
by the government lawyers. There can be something done about it if people stand up to them.

Tasering has become a poor substitute for policing skills. A well-trained officer can manage such a situation without tasering.

While many police officers respect our rights, quite a few don't. So, why do we allow police to get away with violating our Constitutional rights just because they are the police?

Other such cover charges are the vague and ambiguous "disorderly conduct" charge, which can also cover the alleged crime of filming police during their official duties. Yes, you can be imprisoned for filming police (who can film you) if they don't like you filming alleged police brutality.

To me, that's covering up evidence. Police are our servants, not our masters and we should ensure that while they are given due respect, that their job is only to stop us from harming one another, not covering up alleged crimes that they themselves committed.
