A real case of police brutality

I'm not sure if this is brutality but I would consider it malfeasance in perpetuity....well for the convicted at least. Imagine what a bogus cocaine charge does to a person's ability to find a job?

To add more to this scenario of cops planting drugs on innocent folks we have this situation:

Accounts of the incident from Dent and from police — all of whom in the video appear to be white — are wildly different:

-Police said Dent attempted to flee the police car, but the video appears to show Dent maintaining a consistent speed and then pulling over safely across the street from a police station.
-Police say Dent threatened to kill the officers. Dent says he didn't — and none of the six officers' microphones were turned on to substantiate their claim.
-One officer said Dent bit him on the arm. Dent said he didn't, and the officer didn't seek medical attention or photograph his injury to support the allegation.
-Police said they found a bag of crack cocaine under the passenger seat of Dent's car. Dent, who has worked for Ford Motor Co. for 37 years and has no criminal record, said officers planted the cocaine. A post-arrest blood test showed no drugs in his system.

There are good officers out there working for their community and doing a great, clean, law abiding job and these scum of the earth are running around acting like the thugs they are. They are singlehandedly ruining the profession.

A judge dismissed all of the charges involved in the physical confrontation with police after watching the video obtained by WDIV. Dent's lawyer said he was offered a plea deal resulting only in probation on the cocaine possession charge, but Dent turned it down, telling the station he wouldn't plead guilty to a crime he didn't commit.

That's a ballsy move not to accept the plea deal. Who's telling the truth here? This seemingly law abiding citizen with no record and who's worked at the same company for 37 years or the cop who has been accused of planting drugs on someone before?
