Rules
1. Post only content from the unrest after the murder of George Floyd. Incidents from the United States only.
There are several subreddits for discussing police brutality. This community exists specifically to collect examples of police misconduct in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd on May the 25th 2020. Content related to protests is preferred, however unrelated incidents will be allowed provided they occurred after the aforementioned date, if we consider them to be relevant.
2. No calls for violence against anyone, and no doxxing.
3. No incendiary anti-law enforcement language
"ACAB/FTP" etc. We will not tolerate posts or comments advocating for violence against police. Slogans such as ACAB or FTP are allowed, however if that's all you're commenting we'll consider it as spam and delete it.
4. Mark posts with excessive violence/blood as NSFW.
5. If possible, put the location and date in the title.
6. Write objective titles.
Actions speak louder than words, don't characterize.
7. No memes or off-topic posts.
While it is nice to see videos of compassionate officers, this subreddit exists to be a repository for evidence of abuse by law enforcement during the 2020 George Floyd protests. We have made a megathread for related content which does not fit the post standards here.
8. No hate-speech.
This includes transphobia, racism, homophobia, ageism, or any other kind of hateful/discriminatory language.
9. No Trolling.
Dissenting opinions are allowed, trolling and rage-baiting is not.
10. Screenshots must have identifying information removed.
Images with identifying information may be removed at moderators' discretion.
11. No Duplicate Posts
Please check the sub and make sure that what you want to post is not already here, before you make your post. Later duplicates will be removed.
12. No Fundraising of any kind
This subreddit is not here for fundraising. We do not have the time or resources to validate fundraisers to make sure they are legitimate, and we do not wish to turn into a fundraising subreddit. On occasion we may allow something if it is related to an incident, but ALWAYS CHECK WITH MODERATORS FIRST. Do not post or comment with any fundraising site links - they will be removed and you could receive a ban for spamming.

Reopening soon because of reported brutality on abortion rights protesters.
We're assembling the team in anticipation of reopening the sub. There were incidents reported last night of police brutality against abortion rights protesters, which definitely falls within the scope of this subreddit.

We will let you know as we know what we will be able to do as far as the repository goes. Life has moved on for people who had lots of time for this, they don't necessarily have the ability to track like we did before.
Dark times, folks -- I just don't have the words for this.

Hey everyone! The team in charge here has decided to archive this subreddit. The subreddit was created in response to actions committed by police in the United States against its citizens as they exercised their constitutional rights. As we grew we archived every instance brought to our attention and will continue to have this subreddit available for viewing in the event someone wants to reference it. No, police brutality against people has not ended. However, this subreddits purpose of documenting it has been tainted with posts and comments outside of that purpose. For those conversations there are other subreddits that they can be had. If, in the future, there is a need such as before for our purpose - we will be here and open back up for more instances of police brutality.
For now, we shall only be here as a testament to the horrors that some humans impose upon other humans when given power mixed with lack of accountability.
Edit: For those asking r/blacklivesmatter welcomes you to join/participate and is accepting examples of systemic violence against people of color.

Video shows Minneapolis police officers firing less-lethal weapons at people from their unmarked white van–without identifying themselves as law enforcement or issuing warnings or commands. The group defends themselves and fires back until they realize they are cops. Cops then beat them mercilessly.
