http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/02/us/michael-slager-federal-plea/In a plea deal with federal prosecutors, former South Carolina police officer Michael Slager admitted Tuesday to using excessive force in the shooting death of Walter Scott.
Slager shot Scott in the back as the unarmed man was running away from Slager after a traffic stop in April 2015. In a reversal from his previous account of events, Slager admitted in court Tuesday that he did not shoot Scott in self-defense and said that his use of force was unreasonable.
Alot of awesome right there...how this belongs in this thread I dont know, but alot of awesome anyway.

An NYPD cop who broke into a woman’s Bronx home and beat her up in his underwear, will not serve any time for the bizarre attack.
Decorated Officer Eugene Donnelly was sentenced to three years' probation for misdemeanor assault in Bronx Criminal Court Thursday. He must also undergo alcohol abuse treatment.
In June 2014, Donnelly was honored at the NYPD's Medal Day with the Police Combat Cross, the department's second-highest honor, for arresting a teen gunman after a wild Bronx gunfight two years earlier. The next morning, Donnelly, wearing only his underwear, barged into the victim’s Woodlawn home and punched her up to 20 times. He then drank milk from her refrigerator and ran off, police sources said.
Donnelly's lawyer argued the cop was sleepwalking and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. He pleaded guilty to the assault charge in March.
The eight police officers who shot and killed the three attackers in central London on Saturday night used 50 bullets, “an unprecedented number of rounds,” since they thought they were confronting suicide bombers, a representative of the London Metropolitan Police said on Sunday afternoon.
I totally get your point about the bullets, but that should be in a "thank the police" thread!

The trio — two boys and a girl ages 15, 16 and 17 — "gamed the system" and used a vacationing sergeant's name to sign out stun guns and radios and drive the cars right out of a stationhouse parking lot, Beck said. Police are investigating whether the teens impersonated officers and pulled over drivers.
As far as police brutality goes, that looked pretty tame. It seemed like the officers were nothing but professional until she spit on them. If she actually spit on the dude, she's lucky she didn't get a true beating. Coming into contact with a random person's saliva can have life changing effects.

Whispering nasty comments to her was pretty creepy and unprofessional though.
The criminal officer in the video retired so they didn't end up doing anything.From my perspective, and I, along with others in my office have probably looked at this video 100 times — and in talking with other officers and supervisors — our actions [in this arrest] are abhorrent, and our words are even worse.
"There was a strike, and the words were exchanged."
Brown said that late Tuesday night he ordered his Internal Affairs unit to immediately look into the matter, and also called Gill to fill him in. The actual body-cam video, Brown said, is "much longer," but the web video shows the worst of the incident.

QFT.That makes it worse, but spitting on anyone may result in an ass whuppin.
Well, at least he stood his ground...

Self defense seems like a reasonable defense.When are the charges coming for the police that used the canisters to start this incident:
