82-yo Grandma Hospitalized After Chicago Cops Wrongly Raid Her Home Looking for Drugs
_http://thefreethoughtproject.com/chicago-cops-hospitalize-great-grandmother/
Elizabeth Harrison, 82, used to tell kids to “respect the law.” Then on March 17, a gang of Chicago cops raided her home, busting down the door and holding her at gunpoint. Because of this trauma, Harrison had to be rushed to the hospital.
The great-grandmother said police must have had the wrong house, but they insist it was the correct address based on intelligence. No one believed her when she said she was a widow and lived alone. Harrison was made to sit in a chair, overwhelmed with anxiety, while they searched her home for drugs.

While delivering mail last week, Glenn Grays was driving through Crown Heights when an unmarked police car nearly hit his truck. After shouting at the plainclothes cops for almost causing an accident, Grays parked his mail truck and exited the vehicle with a package to deliver. Four plainclothes NYPD cops and a police lieutenant immediately exited the unmarked car and surrounded Grays while he was attempting to deliver the package.
This one is from last year, but I don't think I heard about it:
Police Shoot Teen For Holding Wii Controller

Officer Beth Daniel-Gatny, aka Nancy B. Gatny, of Euharlee, Georgia shot and killed 17-yr-old Christopher Roupe when he answered his door with a Nintendo Wii remote in hand. The teenage boy was about to graduate high school and wanted to join the U.S. Marines.
The incident occurred on February 14th, around 7:30 pm, when Christopher grabbed his Nintendo Wii controller to put on a movie. That’s when his family heard a knock at the front door. Christopher asked: “Who is it?” but received no response from officer Gatny, who was on the other side of the door.
When he opened the door, officer Gatny already had her gun drawn and pointed at him, according to Roupe’s aunt. The officer, who later claimed that the youth “had a handgun,” wasted no time, firing and killing Christopher as soon as the door opened.
She was cleared of any wrong-doing:

Suicidal Teen carrying a toy gun when 5 cops opened fire and kill him
http://www.sott.net/article/315168-Teen-was-carrying-toy-gun-when-5-cops-opened-fire-and-killed-him
The Gainesville Police Department issued a statement saying a 16-year-old black teen shot and killed by police officers Sunday was carrying a toy gun, reports WUFT.
According to police, Robert Dentmond called 911 Sunday evening and told operators he was walking around with an M16 rifle at an apartment complex and that he was going to kill himself before he hung up on the operator.
Officers responding to the scene discovered Dentmond holding what they believed to be a real weapon and began a dialogue with the teen, stating he dropped the toy gun before picking it up and beginning to walk away.
"Deputies gave verbal commands to drop the weapon which he initially did, and as we tried to establish a rapport with the individual, to try to get him to move away from the weapon, he picked it up, rearmed himself, and started walking toward an occupied apartment complex," says Lieutenant Brandon Kutner, spokesperson for the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.
After refusing orders to stop, police opened fire, killing the teen. Dentmond was rushed to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Residents in the complex confirmed they heard Dentmond ordered repeatedly to drop the gun and surrender.
Granted, in the above it seems as if he wanted to die. The gun was real looking enough, picking it up and walking away was all the excuse they needed.

Police Arrest News Reporter For Questioning Mayor’s High Salary
_http://countercurrentnews.com/2016/03/cops-arrest-news-reporter-for-questioning-mayors-high-salary/
Police just arrested WBRZ reporter Chris Nakamoto for nothing more than asking why the local mayor of White Castle, Louisiana, receives such a high salary.Nakamoto was investigating a story on this issue Wednesday. But he was promptly put in handcuffs, then escorted to the police department. Once at the police department, officers wrote him a misdemeanor court summons for his “crime.”
The summons claims the journalist violated statute 14:63, which suggests that he remained at the city property after being forbidden. But this is public space, and forbidding him from it for investigating a news story is not a legal application of the law.
Trump rally protests are now illegal
_http://countercurrentnews.com/2016/03/trump-protests-are-now-literally-illegal/
It’s now literally illegal to protest at a Trump rally. Demonstrators against the Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump are now finding their First Amendment rights violated. Simply protesting where Trump’s bigoted supporters come together to pat each other on the back for their leader’s vitriolic hate speeches, is considered a crime.
...
“When the federal law on trespass was quietly amended—it is a crime, punishable by up to a year in prison, to “knowingly impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions” in locations guarded by the Secret Service, including places where individuals under Secret Service protection are temporarily located—the revised statute made it “easier for the government to criminalize protest.”
Trump was assigned Secret Service protection back in November. That means if you protest at his rallies, even if you haven’t broken any specific law, it is now a crime punishable by imprisonment.
Cop Who Filmed Himself Raping Children and Having Sex with a Dog Gets Measly Sentence
_http://thefreethoughtproject.com/cop-filmed-raping-children-sex-dog-measly-sentence/
Officer Derren Tomlinson, 44, with the West Mercia Police department was sentenced to 11 years in prison this week for unspeakable crimes against children and animals. The allegations against this well-respected police officer of nine years shocked the town.
This model public servant was convicted of raping a girl under 13-years-old, sexual assault on a child, and bestiality. His offensively short sentence is likely due to the fact that he was a law enforcement officer.
...
The ability to refer to a child rapist and dog despoiler as having “good character” is uniquely appalling and illustrates society’s tendency to idolize the uniform regardless of the vile human creature that occupies it.
