I saw this and it filled me with rage.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Thomas_(beating_victim)
This is Kelly Thomas, 38 year old homeless guy living in Fullerton CA;
On July 5 2011, two police officers, Manuel Ramos and Jay Cicinelli get snagged beating, tasing, and suffocating this man to death. It really takes watching the whole clip, beginning to end, to get the full feel of the confrontation. It becomes clear the cops intentions from the start, that's all I'll say, see for yourself.
Anyway, they beat him into a coma, and the dude died 5 days later after his parents took him off of life support. Check out this awesome picture of him after the police were done with him;
And here's the recently released video footage of the beating;

What I find the most enraging part about the whole thing is this;
"Police say they won't talk about what force was used since it's under investigation, but they say at lest six officers were involved and two officers suffered broken bones in the fight."

That was the departments comment about the incident days later, exactly how it always is. A year later we find out no officers suffered broken bones, none of them were even hurt. They lied. Lied because they murdered a guy. Now come to find out the shit was all captured on video and we can see their lies for ourselves.
On a similar note, look at this crooked motherfucker stop this guy, abuse his civil rights by insisting on searching the guys vehicle, the guy refuses knowing he doesn't have anything illegal, dude gets his dog to do a false positive on the front of the car, automatically giving the cop probable cause, searches, doesn't find shit, claims the dog signaled on the marijuana shake on his floor, lets the guy go after holding him up for a half hour.
