A Baltimore cop, identified as Richard Pinheiro, was recorded on video planting drugs then "finding" them moments later - in front of two other unnamed cops. The video was made possible due to Pinheiro's body camera being designed to keep the 30 seconds of video prior to it being "switched on".
Charges against the civilian suspect have been dropped; no word yet on any criminal charges against any of the three cops.

"i will do differently and so would everyone else."
Many of us, but not everyone else. We all know preachers and others who have an unfailing faith in their fellow man. That group is far outnumbered by those who are afraid to act in their own defense. In addition, there are the sycophants, who will suck up to authority figures. Those who would defend themselves may not even be a majority. I figure we are only a large minority. And, possibly not even a large one, at that.
What are the statistics on activists supporting freedom of the internet? Most people just accept that corporations should run the internet however the hell they want to run it.
