    Split Thread Akron police shoot unarmed man 60 times

    This one in Akron will probably warrant a thread on its own. My first info on it was the released bodycam footage. It looked pretty standard until the end, when (already verified) eight police officers shot an unarmed man at least 60 times. I thought the chief said "16 times" even though I'd...

    Tasers, torture?

    Australian Policeman paralysed - culprit fined

    Words fail me here. A West Australian policeman trying to subdue a few violent idiots was cowardly tackled from behind and seriously injured. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=747_1236920255 I often cite Australia as a place where the rule of law properly enforced. I will re-examine my position.
