One New Orleans LA police officer has resigned and another is on leave while under investigation on allegations that they planted durgs on a man they picked up and questioned in their cruiser. The allegations came to light after a defense attorney looked into claims by the victim that one officer wasn’t even there when he was picked up, contrary to the police report. Instead, the officer was at the dentist at the time of the arrest. http://bit.ly/jbJi9H

More allegations are mounting against Miami Beach FL police now that a couple has come forward and accused them of demanding they stop videotaping a controversial shooting incident and detained them at gunpoint.
