Internal affairs had cleared the police of any wrong doing.
Until "good cops" speak up against the rogue law breakers and police departments that will do anything to protect the "bad cops" I view all cops and their departments the same. Looking the other way or ignoring the problem makes all cops "bad cops" and cowards. I'm tired of hearing people say most police are good cops and a few give them all a bad name.

Evidence from a dashboard camera on a police cruiser ended a nightmare for a New Jersey man facing false charges of eluding police, resisting arrest and assault. Prosecutors dismissed all the criminal charges against Marcus Jeter, 30, of Bloomfield, N.J. and instead indicted two Bloomfield police officers for falsifying reports and one of them for assault after the recording surfaced showing police officers beating Jeter during a traffic stop, according to WABC of New York. A third has pleaded guilty to tampering.Jeter's defense attorney requested all recorded evidence, but the police failed to hand over a second tape until additional evidence surfaced of a second police car at the scene. The tape showed Jeter complying with police, even as one punched him in the head repeatedly.Without the tape, prosecutors had been demanding a five-year prison sentence. -yt
