Quote:
An unarmed black man was dragged from his car by Inkster, Michigan, police officers, put in an apparent chokehold, beaten, and tased during a traffic stop that was caught on the police car's dashboard camera on January 28, his lawyer said.
Quote:
Police charged Dent with assault, resisting arrest, and possession of cocaine, claiming they found the drug under the passenger seat of the car.
Quote:
Dent argues the police planted the drug at the time of the arrest. An Inkster district court judge dismissed the assault and resisting arrest charges, but Dent is due in court next week for a hearing on the cocaine charge.
Quote:
Officer Melendez was charged by the U.S. Attorney's Office for planting evidence and falsifying reports in 2003 when he was a Detroit police officer. A jury found Melendez not guilty.

Here is the twist. Video evidence of... Planting drugs.

Quote:
"You can definitely see the officer searching the vehicle and coming out with empty hands," Rohl said of the video. "In a matter of 2 to 3 minutes he digs into his pockets, pulls out a plastic bag while someone covers the camera for a second."
Video.
