God, this one is even more insane than any of the others. Unarmed Therapist Shot by North Miami Police While Trying to Calm Patient With Autism You have to watch the video, it's unbelievable. A therapist from a group home trying to help a patient who had a toy truck was shot. The police are...

Video released of deadly Chicago police shooting [CNN] And 2.5 years later, almost predictably at this point: And this:
