Abusive Cop Tracker
The 2020 protests show that cops do big oopsie when they think nobody is watching.
This is a compilation of those "oopsis" to help with research efforts on a project I am working on.
Compilation
- Des Moines, IA: police use pepper-spray in an elevator on apartment residents trying to go home, including on one woman carrying a baby
- Kalamazoo, MI: protestors lay on the ground, so cops start shooting teargas canisters at their heads for sport
- Columbus, OH: more police destroying private property without due process
- San Diego, CA: peaceful protest – downright festive really – interrupted by tear gas and bullets
- Boston, MA: cop destroying private property without due process
- Cincinnati, OH: the casual banality of evil
- Multiple: mashup of several videos at once, locations are at the bottom of each panel
- Originally I thought police were just shooting and it happened the 16yo boy got hit. Turns out the Austin cops deliberately sniper-shot him in the head with nobody else around him.
- Walnut Creek, CA: cops casually threatening to murder citizens 👮🏼♂️: "IF YOU DO NOT MOVE, YOU WILL BE DEAD."
- Note the person on a motorized scooter getting caught in a cloud of gas
- Seattle, WA: another night of indiscriminate flash-bang and teargas use on peaceful protestors
- San Jose, CA: cop casually hitting a guy with his motorcycle and sending him to asphalt as 3 more cops pile on
- Portland, OR: casual war-zoning as police shoot into a crowd for fun
