      Classic American police brutality case. You bet these cops will never see any consequences for their actions.

    Media rarely fails to apologize for police brutality. This reminds me of an early episode of the Citations Needed podcast. https://soundcloud.com/citationsneeded/ep-03-the-rise-of-superpredator-20

    After the couple had been taken to jail, officers found "a usable quantity of methamphetamine" inside the vehicle, according to the Police Department news release. Court records did not show either Wheatcroft or Chapman facing a drug charge.

    Wheatcroft is currently in prison on an unrelated burglary charge.
