Holy fuck.
This is the worst clip I think I've seen in this thread.
Is there a follow up? Did those officers receive any legal consequences?
They're literally abusing the 8th amendment while repeating "STOP RESISTING!" to a guy being restrained by two other officers while another repeatedly tases him with 50K volts of electricity.. This is straight up torture.
There is no better abuse of authority in existence than this clip. They should each be behind bars for at least 5-10 years for this.

If police officers are above the law, they don't deserve any respect from the rest of us.
The prosecutor apparently ignored the first Grand Jury. Isn't that in itself a crime?
Have these pigs in blue faced ANY disciplinary action whatsoever?

Police are mostly good people, treat them with respect and they may return it.

That was torture and it sucks that we have to pay for the lawyers to defend those guys. It was very strange that it seemed they did it right in front of other prisoners? maybe thats policy to strap you in and taze you? Im not a fan of overuse of force they deserve jail themselves. Police do need more accountability for their actions. But to think that every cop would do that shit is crazy.

There's exactly no evidence at all she did anything but.
There's also exactly no justification at all for what happened to her.
You sound like you're defending the actions of the cops involved? You wanna get on the right side of that before you get a dogpile of people like me calling you a fucking police cocksucker?

That's better!
NO ONE is above the law- and those who are charged with enforcing it need to be held to the very highest standards. The notion of leniency for cops is exactly, unequivocally and despicably backwards.

I was anti police, but the only law I ever break is speeding and weed. its starting to get to the point that the cops aint after me anymore. So im coming around to respecting the average cop. Id support public whipping of bad ones to make a point though. Weed has alway been the easiest way for cops to abuse power, you can smell weed just like you can see a race you dont like. But the law says you can jack them up for weed, not race. I experience racism worse than black people just because of these herbs. I could theoretically not smoke and they cant be not black. But im proud of smoking just like they should be proud of theiir race whether black white or indigenous.

Veteran Chicago cop, Marco Proano, was just convicted of excessive force after firing 16 shots at a car full of teenagers when there was no imminent threat. Good for the jury on convicting this fucking psychopath...

Jury convicts Chicago cop of excessive force for firing 16 shots at car, wounding 2 teens

Levin, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, speaks to the media at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago on Aug. 28, 2017, after a federal jury convicted Chicago police Officer Marco Proano of using excessive force in December 2013.

Chicago police Officer Marco Proano claimed he was just doing his job when he fired 16 shots at a stolen car filled with teenagers on the South Side, wounding two.
But a federal jury decided Monday that the shooting — captured on a police dashboard camera video — wasn't the action of a cop but a criminal.
In an unprecedented verdict, the jury deliberated about four hours before convicting Proano of two felony counts of using excessive force in violating the victims' civil rights. He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison on each count but likely will get far less because he has no prior criminal history.
Dressed in a dark gray suit and glasses, the 11-year veteran kept his hands clasped in front of him on the defense table and showed no emotion as the verdict was announced in U.S. District Judge Gary Feinerman's hushed courtroom.
Feinerman scheduled sentencing for Nov. 20. But federal prosecutors indicated they will seek next week to detain Proano as a danger to the community.
Proano is the first Chicago cop in memory to be convicted of criminal charges stemming from an on-duty shooting, whether in federal court or in Cook County Criminal Court. He also was the first officer to go to trial in any shooting case since the court-ordered release of the Laquan McDonald shooting video in November 2015 sparked heated protests, political turmoil and promises of systemic change from Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
Earlier this year, a U.S. Department of Justice investigation found the Police Department's use-of-force training was woefully lacking, part of a systemic failure that led to the routine abuse of citizens' civil rights.

Proano's quick conviction on the federal criminal charges was in stark contrast to how recent police misconduct cases have played out in Cook County Criminal Court, where officers often elect for bench trials instead of a jury.
In the highest-profile case, former Detective Dante Servin was cleared in April 2015 by Cook County Judge Dennis Porter of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal, off-duty shooting of 22-year-old Rekia Boyd on the West Side. The judge's ruling all but said that prosecutors should have charged him with murder, not the lesser charge.
Also in 2015, Cook County Judge Diane Gordon Cannon acquitted then-Chicago police Cmdr. Glenn Evans on charges he shoved his gun down Rickey Williams' throat and threatened to kill him while on duty. In throwing out all charges, Cannon belittled evidence of Williams' DNA on Evans' service weapon as "of fleeting relevance or significance."

Earlier this year, Cook County Judge James Linn acquitted Officer John Gorman of all charges stemming from an off-duty incident in which he was accused of firing shots at a vehicle during a traffic altercation after he'd been drinking.
Speaking to reporters after the verdict, acting U.S. Attorney Joel Levin acknowledged that without video evidence, it's extremely difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that an officer knew he was using excessive force when he opened fire.
"Historically, the lack of videos has made it difficult for us to meet our burden," Levin said in the lobby of the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse. "With the availability of more videos ... it can, as it did in this case, supply the evidence we need to make the case."
Proano left the courthouse without comment, ignoring shouted questions from reporters as he ducked into a waiting SUV. His lawyer, Daniel Herbert, also declined to comment.
The Police Department is seeking to fire Proano, who was placed on unpaid suspension after he was charged last September. In an emailed statement, Superintendent Eddie Johnson called Proano's actions "intolerable."
Meanwhile, the Fraternal Order of Police, the union representing rank-and-file officers, expressed disappointment at the verdict in a statement released Monday afternoon.
"The pressure on the police is making the job extremely difficult," FOP President Kevin Graham said in the statement. "It seems that the criminal elements in our society are not accountable in our justice system, while the police face an intense scrutiny for every split-second decision they make."
Prosecutors said the dashcam video of the shooting — which unfolded in about nine seconds — showed Proano violated all of the training he received at the Police Academy, including to never fire into a crowd, only fire if you can clearly see your target and to stop shooting once the threat has been eliminated.
The video — played several times for jurors during the trial, including in slow-motion — showed Proano walking quickly toward the stolen Toyota within seconds of arriving at the scene while he held his gun pointed sideways in his left hand. Proano can be seen backing away briefly as the car went in reverse, away from the officer. He then raised his gun with both hands and opened fire as he walked toward the car, continuing to fire even after the car had rolled into a light pole and stopped.
"Marco Proano drew first, shot next and then he tried to justify it later," Assistant U.S. Attorney Erika Csicsila said in her closing argument Monday. "He came out of his car like a cowboy, he pulled his gun out, held it to one side and aimed it at those kids to send a message and to show who was in charge."
Last week, jurors heard testimony from two Chicago police training officers that cops are taught to shoot only as a last resort against a deadly threat and to reassess the danger every two or three shots before continuing to fire.
Herbert argued Monday that the officer did exactly as he was trained — to stop the threat and also protect the life of one of the teens, who was hanging from the passenger window as the car reversed.
In his closing remarks, Herbert also accused prosecutors of armchair quarterbacking the shooting, making decisions from the safety of their office about what was a tense and dangerous situation.
"They made that decision (to charge Proano) sitting at their desks, eating popcorn and watching the video, not out on the street like Officer Proano," Herbert said.
Herbert also represents Officer Jason Van Dyke, who is awaiting trial on first-degree murder charges in Cook County in the Laquan McDonald shooting.
Proano, a native of Ecuador, joined the Police Department in 2006 and was assigned as a beat cop in the Gresham District after graduating from the academy.
Prosecutors were not allowed to present evidence of Proano's checkered past, including that the shooting was his third in a three-year span.
In August 2010, Proano shot and wounded a 20-year-old woman in the 700 block of West 91st Street, according to a Tribune database of police shootings from 2010 to 2015.
Less than a year later, in July 2011, Proano fatally shot 19-year-old Niko Husband at close range during a struggle as police tried to break up an unruly dance party on the South Side. Proano claimed Husband had tried to pull a gun.
Proano was not only cleared by the city's much-maligned police oversight agency for Husband's shooting but was awarded a department commendation for valor, records show.
In November 2015, a Cook County jury found Husband's shooting unjustified, awarding his mother $3.5 million in damages, but a judge overturned the verdict based on a legal problem with the decision. That ruling is being appealed.
In his closing remarks to the jury Monday, Herbert noted that the shooting Proano was charged with happened in a dangerous neighborhood and that Proano was responding to a fellow officer's call for help after the teens in the car refused commands.
Snapping his fingers for emphasis, Herbert said the "split-second" evaluation Proano made to stop the threat was clearly justifiable under the law and that the video — which has no audio — did not capture the chaos of the scene.
