FBI Investigating Several AZ Police Officers For Possible Civil Rights Violations | NBC Nightly News

Every single one of these cases should be investigated by the FBI

[claireconover]

cops need to start getting convicted for assault, murder and theft (aka civil forfeiture). when people start questioning & holding them accountable, they’ll earn their way back into their once respectable role in the communities they serve... rather then excessive community villains they justifiably perceived as now.

[Tetrodotoxic]

When you allow police to investigate themselves nothing gets done. Independent investigators must be permitted to investigate police and police activities on a regular basis To rightfully hold accountable all criminals who might masquerade as officers

[xofarhills]

FBI director: I want every officer in the video done

[sargentpepper]

WHAT IS THERE TO INVESTIGATE ? ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS WATCH THE VIDEO ONE TIME !

[davidmccartney]

He’s only disappointed because it was caught on camera

[iberianlion]

Police Chief: “I’m angry and deeply disappointed...that they did it with their bodycams ON!”

[sauravsubhrajit]

Every case should be investigated by FBI

[Whatsthe_dill]

The evil starts with the judges and prosecuting attorneys all the way up to the city council

[blutongue]

Cops like this wouldn't last a week in Colombia.

[hammerhead]

This is what Kaepernick was trying to sound the alarm about.

[dannyrodriguez]

The FBI should also look at other police agencies in Az.

[mufasamoney]

Even a Blackman treating his brother this way SMH

[seanhines]

“Repeated second-guessing the work of police officers puts everyone in the face.”

Dude’s literally getting punched senselessly in the face over and over for absolutely no reason by a wannabe tough-guy officer while everyone holds him down

[dr.flacko]

FBI Director: "Oh you wanna go there? (*smirks) Let's go there."

[jonathonmoores]

Does anyone know which FBI Job investigates corrupt police officers, something I would like to do

[carloseliboteo]

Thank God for technology and video evidence!

[josegonzales]

Probably would be a good idea to investigate all the state level police agencies. Corruption and perverse justice is what runs them. Especially them on I 40. Maybe one day.

[Whatsthe_dill]

Cops need to be held accountable for wrongful arrests and abusing civil rights

[bama_b]

Mesa PD are some of the worst criminals!
