Who'll be able to tell how? Their word over yours? And if you're black and your "peers" are 80% middle class whites?

And that's the problem. The police officers know they'll probably get away with it. Until there is a fair process things like this will not change. The hard part is figuring out what's a fair process.

Have all policement wear google glasses and having them on during an arrest/interoggation/etc.

If there's no video, the arrest is invalid.

Also heavy personal fines and loss of pension for any misconduct.
