Standard Disclaimer:
I'm snagging stories from a blog written by someone who has had several unfavorable run ins with Miami FL cops. Some of the comments on his blog are very hostile towards LEO's. I do not endorse nor agree with the commentary there. I suggest that where links to -reliable- news sources exist that those reading examine those and make their own minds up as to what's really going on. I'm dropping these in here so as to not clutter the Study with a thousand "bad cop" type stories. If any are of any interest to discuss, please use these links as starting points to create new threads.

Thanks.
