it horrifies me at the abuse inmates received before there was surveillance videos,
another thing, exercise your 1st, 4th and 5th Amendment rights, always film the police and never, ever talk to the cops, they're not your friends, they're looking to jam you up and collect money for the state.

Not all cops are like this, but they're just as culpable if they don't report illegal uses of force by another cop.
