(Dec. 18) - Federal prosecutors are targeting a rising number of law enforcement officers for alleged brutality, Justice Department statistics show. The heightened prosecutions come as the nation's largest police union fears that agencies are dropping standards to fill thousands of vacancies and "scrimping" on training.
Cases in which police, prison guards and other law enforcement authorities have used excessive force or other tactics to violate victims' civil rights have increased 25% (281 vs. 224) from fiscal years 2001 to 2007 over the previous seven years, the department says...MORE
My question is this,
Are the cases of brutality really on the rise or is this just more cases of criminals making false accusations to turn the heat off themselves?

I'm afraid that one fact right there might be the case.
Since the Rodney King mess a few years back it seems that EVERYBODY is jumping on the "Police brutality" bandwagon much like the troops unless you've walked in their boots we can not possibly imagine all the crap they put up with on a daily basis just doing their job and of course one incident of an officer loosing his cool is going to be exploited by the media the NAACP and that other civil rights group who's name I won't mention.
The lawless are always going to try and undermine the law keepers what we DON'T need are the idiots who stand ready to exploit every little scenario that comes across the radar and use that to demonize all of the officers out there keeping the rest of us safe from those who would do us harm. _________________ <table border="0" bordercolor="#F6FCFD" width="1" bgcolor="#F6FCFD">
