Police brutality is becoming an ongoing issue as videos and pictures surface from cop car cameras. 

In Dallas a state trooper faces charges after slamming a women into a concrete wall that divides traffic.
The horrific images were captured on a Dallas Tollway by Trooper Arturo Perez’s dashboard camera as he tried to arrest the female motorist on suspicion of drink-driving.
The grainy pictures clearly show the officer dragging 22-year-old Whitney Fox towards his police car then body-slamming her into a highway’s concrete dividing wall when she tried to pull away from him.

Perez, 43, who became a trooper three years ago after 16 years working for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, resigned from the Dallas Department of Safety before he could be fired.
Over the past year I've seen numerous blogs that post about police brutality to try and spread the word that sometimes cops aren't always the angels they are imagined as. 
It was the victim who called the cops there, after she crashed her car into the wall.
Mr Isenberg (her lawyer) said she was driving home from a party sober when a drunken friend in the passenger seat grabbed the wheel and forced the car to veer off the road.
The women need to go to the hospital for cuts on her chin and knees. She wasn't charged with anything. The officer will be facing misdemeanor assault charges, but if convicted will not serve jail time.
