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

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.
