I’ve been mistreated and wrongfully arrested by a police officer myself...i don’t just discount these stories...anybody in a position of power is capable of taking advantage of their position. Most police are good officers but there are always a few bad apples in every group
I too have been mistreated and know others. Its really quite easy for them to do. How to prove they are not telling the truth? Even if,in this case you find they have done this many times before,what are the odds you are the one that gets justice?
