The persistence of racially biased policing means that unless American policing reckons with its racist roots, it is likely to keep repeating mistakes of the past.

An autistic boy's tantrum in school led to him being handcuffed, abused, and taunted by a police officer who then proceeded to charge him with assault.

Five cops pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to purchase, distribute and receive cocaine and opioids and none of them will go to jail.

Despite admitting to crimes that should have landed him in jail for 30 years, a cop flexed his blue privilege and received just 60 days in jail.

A cop was called to conduct a welfare check on a 70-year-old man and ended up robbing the victim of 15 guns and much more.

Five cops and a top level Lieutenant were never fired for their role in a teen sex trafficking scandal and instead received 'written reprimands.'

"I cry every day because I am scared for my baby. My baby girl has not even been born yet and she is a victim of police brutality."

Instead of helping a mentally ill man who was trespassed from a store, a Memphis cop tortured him, laughed about it, and then made up charges to frame him.
