Police officers are responsible for keeping our streets safe and free of crime and violence. They are charged with protecting communities from those who would do it harm and with upholding the rights of the innocent. Unfortunately, there are times when the crime that is committed is done at the hands of those who have vowed to serve and protect us.

Although some arrests necessitate the use of elevated force, many times, officers cross the line and beat, tase or even shoot individuals while making an arrest.
