The idiot cop report
A Goodwater AL police officer shot a man twice inside a courtroom after he became angry when the judge refused to allow him time to call his wife to get money for the fine he was sentenced to over a dispute he had with a neighbor.

No matter which way you look at this one, it’s a bit crazy for a court of law.

Before I close for the day, I did want to mention that the Houston Texas police department finally released a controversial video from an incident last year where a 15-year-old burglary suspect was hit by a police cruiser and surrendered before several officers began repeatedly stomping on him, kicking him, kneeing him, and punching him. Ultimately, four officers were criminally indicted, three were fired, and five received 2-day suspensions, all of which are in our database so this isn’t an additional report but worth mentioning. I cannot embed the video as of this moment
