What Is Police Misconduct?Police misconduct happens when officers step outside their legal authority and harm citizens. While most police officers do their jobs professionally, some abuse their power. When this abuse leads to broken bones, brain damage, or even death, victims deserve justice.
Think of police misconduct like this: Officers have rules they must follow, just like everyone else. When they break these rules and seriously hurt someone, they should be held responsible for their actions.
Common Examples We See- Officers using too much force during arrests
- Violent takedowns causing broken bones
- Unnecessary use of weapons leading to injuries
- Physical abuse resulting in brain damage
- Rough handling causing spinal injuries
- Actions that lead to someone's death
