How Often Do Citizens Win Police Brutality Cases?

As much as we may want police to be our protectors, the courts have consistently supported police officers when cases go to court. But there is hope for those who have been victim to police brutality or police misconduct and hope to win a police brutality case. Fortunately, many courts are willing to remain unbiased and listen openly to the facts of a case.

Cases Where Police Were Held Responsible For Police Brutality:

Officer Stephen Rankin Found Guilty of Manslaughter in Shooting of Unarmed Black Man

NBA Player Finally Found NOT GUILTY After Police Attacked Him and Broke His Leg FOR NO REASON

Officer Peter Liang Found Guilty of Shooting an Unarmed Man

Cop Sentenced In The Beating Of Black Motorist

Ex-Cop William Melendez Gets Up to 10 Years for Beating of Michigan Driver

Police Sergeant Found Guilty of Ordering Fellow Cops To Beat Up Handcuffed Children

 

How likely is it that you’ll win a police brutality case? Police brutality cases are not always clear, and sometimes police officers aren’t found guilty. This is why it’s important to keep a clear head so you can accurately recall the events that led up to any police behavior that violates you.

 

Cases Where Police Were Not Held Responsible For Police Brutality Charges:

Chicago Police Commander Found Not Guilty in 2013 Brutality Case

Police Officer Not Guilty, Future Unclear

Jury acquits ex-Philly cops in trial of recorded beating of unarmed man

Nassau Cop Found Not Guilty Of Assault Charges In Beating Of Driver During Traffic Stop

 

Even with cases where police are found to be not guilty or not liable for damaging actions against citizens, there is hope for those who are wronged.
The key to win a police brutality case is in the experience and conviction of the police brutality defense attorney and their understanding of precedent and the issues surrounding police negligence or police misconduct cases.
The final decision in police brutality cases rests on many factors. Is the case tried in a court where the judge is not inclined to frequently side with the police? Is there witness testimony or a bystander video? Does the defendant have a criminal history that is not violent? Does the attorney have experience defending victims of police brutality?
We all want police to protect us. Sometimes police behavior calls for legal action against a police officer. The more we hold law enforcement accountable for their actions, the closer will get to justice and a peaceful society.
