6. I am guessing that was the Philadelphia case.

A gang of maybe 30 Philadelphia police recently broke every window in a car that had a young mother, a toddler and a teen in it. They drug the mother out of the car and beat her. Kidnapped her child. When she got the child back he had a large welt on his head. They beat the toddler.
She had done nothin wrong and no charges were ever filed. The biggest problem the police had is that someone was recording them.
I bet cops hate cameras.
Who knew that big brother watching would turn into us watching big brother.
