Is it time to re-think stop and frisk?
A young Harlem resident caught cops on audio during a stop and frisk, he was roughed up a bit and told he was stopped because he's "a mutt". Clearly this isn't how we want our police force to act. What should we do about it.

Cop Punches woman in face, Mayor apologizes
Cop floors a philadelphian woman during a Puerto Rican parade because he mistakenly thinks she threw beer on him (she didn't). As you can see in this youtube video he punches her to the face and handcuffs her. That led the mayor to apologize to the woman in person. You do have to wonder though if this wasn't caught on tape, what would have happened?

A Ban on Dancing at Federal Monuments, Arrests and Investigation into Police Brutality
There is a law against dancing at the Jefferson Memorial. This law was recently upheld in a ruling by US District Judge John D. Bates, it had been challenged as inhibiting someone's free expression. Bates ruled that the interior of the memorial is not a public forum. A handful of people protested this by dancing quietly to music from their Ipods as can be seen in this one minute video. One of them was body slammed and then choked by a park officer, which has led to an investigation into whether or not the Police used excessive force in detaining the peaceful protestors.
