2 Seattle WA cops on dashcam dragging passenger from car & tasing him for refusing to give them ID when he legally didn’t have to then arresting his mom for telling them to call their supervisor. The video then shows one officer telling the man he was arrested for “being lippy”. The department gave one of them nothing more than a letter of reprimand. [3] bit.ly/zizIs4

2 Melbourne FL cops also got themselves an oh-so-scary reprimand for turning off their dashcam during an incident with a 66-year-old man with dementia that was still caught on video as they kicked, beat, and allegedly tasered him in the face… but the department decided that use of force was just fine because the officer claimed he came at him threateningly, though the video doesn’t back that claim. (sorry, they won’t let me embed this one). [3] bit.ly/xCBM06
