I'm not pitying the victim in these cases. Rather, I want punishment for cops that lie.
Locally, we had a guy about to go to prison for "assault on LEO, reaching for his gun". home security video showed the dude was curled up in a ball while the cops kicked shit out of him.
He was going to prison for almost a decade, they were pushing him to plea. Suddenly, video emerges, they drop charges on him. Now, the cops that almost sent him away? ZERO punishment. They just move on to the next day, to do it again and frame someone else.
and some people on getbig say that kind of behavior is okay IF the person being framed/lied abouot is a piece of shit. Totally not cool. One day, it'll be THEIR kid at a party, with 2 beers in them, making the wrong comment and a cop hears it... and VOILA, your kid gets 8 years in prison for assault on a cop, when all he/she did was take an ass-whooping. You're totally right - cops lie a lot and never get in trouble for it.
Cops lied in both the brown & garner case. THAT is my beef, not the victim stuff.

You make excellent points.
Sadly some people on here do not want know or Believe that cops
Lie, cheat, & frame people.
Not all cops do this.
What is a wrong act is a wrong act wether it be scumbag civilian or scumbag cop etc.
It is painfully wrong when these cops are caught out lying, cheating etc & then walk away
From any charges.
Totally wrong by those who allow this to happen.
Results in a general lack of respect & confidence in police & justice.
