I was looking around on the web a few months ago for Police Misconduct in Redding Cal. And found an article read for yourself.
https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4543214390189506235&postID=1158333206349001165Well My husband has been to scared to tell me what really happened to him. And finally the pressure got to him , he told me of the cops standing around him pepper spraying him for a really long time. He told me he thought the cops were going to kill him. And on top of that they beat him. And called him a wetback over and over again. so to all those people who said prove it. I now can. And this will go to Federal court. I will not let abunch of racist bully cops treat my family that way much less anyone else. I want these guys held to the highest degree of punishment for what they did. They knew 100% that Victor was ill and now are trying to say my husband supposedly hit a cop. ( I GOT WITNESSES THAT IS A LIE!!!) And they just threw that charge on there for good measure. Victor is scared of cops why would he hit a cop unless they were hurting him. so they took the truth and turned it around, and said the Victor hit them so they have reason to put on that *FALSE CHARGE OF POLICE BRUTALITY* I have 100% of the prove there isn't no stopping me now. I'm going to the top with the evidence! This will be the biggest lawsuit in all of Shasta County history. I bet my life on it.
look what someone commented on this post, and omg it is so true!!!
Arrested on Trumped Up Charges?
Resisting Arrest • Assaulting a Police Officer • Disorderly Conduct
Police are uncomfortable with citizens who assert their rights. When a suspect is uncooperative, dismissive or verbally indignant, some officers take it personally. They may break out the Taser or the handcuffs. They may call for back-up. They may convince witnesses to leave the area. And those officers always hope that the suspect will escalate the confrontation.
People who have committed no crime suddenly find themselves facing bogus criminal charges. In the African American, Latino and Asian communities, citizens are all too familiar with "Contempt of Cop" charges. Civil rights lawyer
John Burris has a successful record of standing up to this outrageous and unconstitutional behavior.

Cover Charges: Shifting the Blame
Here's a scenario that plays out again and again: Police pull over a person on a lame excuse, hoping to find probable cause after the fact to search the suspect and the car for drugs or illegal weapons. No evidence is discovered, because the citizen has committed no crime. So the officers provoke the person by patting them down and making threats or accusations. Sometimes it works, resulting in a physical altercation or loud and dramatic confrontation, and the patrolman can put the person in cuffs for resisting arrest, assaulting an officer or disturbing the peace. If they don't get the desired reaction, officers may file charges anyway. Particularly if the person has a criminal record, who is the judge or jury going to believe?
"Evil flourishes when good men do nothing."— Edmund Burke
Police have a good reason to file "cover charges." If there is no arrest for an underlying crime, they realize they run the risk of a
racial profiling or police misconduct complaint. They also know that a conviction for resisting arrest or assaulting police prevents a suspect from filing a civil rights lawsuit.
