No doubt about it. Two or three years ago, a developmentally disable man who worked here was falsley accused of improper conduct with a 17 year old girl, which girl had a DOCUMENTED HISTORY of making false accusations. He was treated shamefully at the time of arrest.
A couple weeks ago, a very minor incident (a fanny-pat given to the wrong person--the recipient was in costume and face-concealing makeup, but acted in a manner to convince the patter that they were friends) resulted in a very good man being mildly roughed up and threatened.
Our police force here exists to protect some of the richest people in America, and everyone else better just watch out.
I am from a small town, I know it happens and has happened to someone that I know. In one particular case the officer very nicely put him in handcuffs "just for precautionary reasons". Once the cuffs were on, the officer became verbally abusive and when the person I know had enough and popped off himself, he was all the sudden resisting arrest and was beat up pretty good. So I answered yes.
I'm a 40 year resident of South Florida, just outside Fort Lauderdale. I've enjoyed watching the area change due to immigration. A lot of it good, some of it bad. But, I realized a long time ago that there is good and bad in every nationality, religion....you get the drift. I have become interested in the Scottish Premier League and in the English Premier League. In the SPL, I root for Heart of Midlothian as my family is from Edinburgh. In the EPL, I cheer for Liverpool as their owners also own the Boston Red Sox. Fenway Park in Boston holds many fond memories of growing up and my young adult life. And, as always, you can e-mail me at odessaphiles@gmail.com....

Certainly not. They have it pounded into their brains that "we can't afford to be sued", and therefore are extremely "by the book".
This happens but not in my home town.

The Swedish police do not use enough force. They are sort of uniformed social workers.
Not it Switerland.
In the USA South it depends on the person's race. Black people are roughed up a lot more often than white people are.
