A Bogota NY woman calls emergency services, hoping for an ambulance to take her emotionally disturbed son to the hospital. Police arrive on the scene first, hop out of the car, tackle the "patient," hold him down, and begin beating the hell out of him.
("Why are you punching him?" cries the mom. Just doing their job, ma'am.)
Another officer intervenes, breaking up the beating, and is now the one on trial, accused by her department of being "psychologically unfit to be a police officer." Sounds about right, actually.

I just hope to never find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Is that the best that we can do?
