Izell Richardson, 67, accidentally locked himself out of his home and had to break a window to get back in. His sister, who lives in the home, didn't realize it was her brother trying to get in, so, she called the police. Richardson was in his underwear and was not breaking into his own home. He was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police cruiser. Richardson screamed for help as the officer threatened him with a taser and repeatedly hit him with it.

Officer Garrett Rolfe is back on the police force after being fired for shooting a fleeing man in the back. The Atlanta Civil Service Board ruled that the city did not give him the right to due process. The death of 27-year-old George Brooks has already caused a massive backlash in the city. The other officer involved in the encounter, Devin Brosnan, has been charged with aggravated assault and violating his oath. Both officers are free on bond and their lawyers have said their clients acted appropriately in the incident. The decision will likely cause further outrage in the Atlanta community, which is already on edge after the death of George Floyd, a black man who fell asleep in the drive-thru of a Wendy's restaurant in July. The officer who shot Brooks was fired the next day and is currently facing murder charges for his actions. The city's mayor said firing the officer was the "right thing to do" in a statement Wednesday. Atlanta police responded to a call of a

Eric Derrell Smith, 30, was killed after a police chase ended in Biloxi, Mississippi. He was wanted in connection with the deaths of Christin Parker, 32, and her nephew Brandon Parker, 26, in Baker, Louisiana. Police say Smith kidnapped his infant son from the home and fled but was cornered by police. After a brief standoff, police opened fire on Smith and his son, killing them both. Smith did fire a shot during the chase but it was later revealed it was an hour before the pursuit ended. No officers were injured. The infant died of injuries sustained in the shootout. The mother was able to identify Smith as the suspected murderer after he fled the scene and her daughter told police what she had seen in the home where her aunt and nephew were shot to death. Smith had been in a relationship with the victim and they had recently gone through a breakup, according to police, and he had kidnapped his son after the two were killed in the house. The victim's daughter was also at the home

Cops accuse an innocent sleeping 13-year-old boy of car theft and force him to be mauled by a K-9.

A 13-year-old boy was asleep in the backyard when he was attacked by a police K-9. The boy was wrongly accused of being involved in car theft. The Cedar Rapids police department was slapped with a lawsuit this week by the boy's mother. The attack unfolded on August 12, 2020, and was captured on police body cameras. The lawsuit asserts excessive force was used by officers involved in the arrest, as well as K- 9 officer Nathan Trimble and his canine partner, and that there was negligence in police canine training and racial discrimination that amounted to reckless disregard for the rights and safety of others, including the boy, according to the lawsuit. The police department said they were pursuing a suspect in a stolen vehicle investigation who may have been armed. The suspect was eventually captured, however, as they searched for him, officers came upon the boy and the dog mauled his arm, despite the fact that he was unarmed and posed no threat to the dog. "I grabbed ahold o

Amber Guyger's appeal begins, when a murdering cop claims "self-defense" in the killing of Botham Jean.

Amber Guyger was found guilty of murder in the death of Botham Jean in March. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Her lawyers have appealed, saying there was insufficient evidence to prove she committed murder. Her attorneys say she acted in self-defense and that the evidence was insufficient to prove her guilt. If she wins, Guyger could be freed later this year. The judge gave her a hug before she was taken off to jail and told her, "you can have mine. I have three or four more at home." She was fired from the police department nearly 3 weeks after the shooting and was fired for her actions three weeks later, when she shot Jean in his own apartment, killing him. The jury found Guyger guilty of manslaughter, not murder and sentenced her to just 10 years, but she was granted an appeal. The appeal was granted in spite of the fact that all sides of Guyger entering Jean's apartment and killing him were accepted by all sides, despite the fact she was unarmed and it was cl

Cops Are Captured by a Woman Putting a GPS tracker on a car and then removing it—the cops then demand it be returned.

A Louisiana woman found a tracking device on her car and removed it, not knowing what it was. Police put it there after arresting her on drug charges. A local NAACP president contacted the police, who demanded the tracking device be returned. Police refused to produce the device, saying they had a warrant for the device. Such devices are illegal for civilians to use in Louisiana, but legal for law enforcement in some circumstances.  "I didn't know if it was a bomb, but then I did find out it was a tracker," the woman said. Police: "This is part of an ongoing investigation involving Ms. Beverly and a suspect with federal warrants"  A warrant was obtained for the surveillance equipment, according to police, but they didn't provide it to the woman when asked to. The NAACP president said police asked him to contact the police on the woman's behalf. The device had been placed by the Warrick County Sheriff's Office, who suspected the woman of being a drug

One of the men, who goes by the handle Riskie_e on Tik-Tok, happened to be filming with his Go-Pro camera at the time of the stop. The two young men were wearing Go-Pros, holding grocery bags, riding expensive bicycles with highly reflective gear and neon lights. "You fit the description," one of the cops can be heard saying in the video. "We ain't do nothing," Riskie yelled. "I'm saying you got your guns drawn and we ain't done nothing." The two men were told why they were being held at gunpoint and humiliated by cops. The video has since gone viral and received more than 1 million views on YouTube. The men were stopped by a police cruiser parked in front of their home after robbing a couple earlier that night. The police officer accused the pair of robbing a couple of robbing couples earlier that day. A young man riding his bike in S
