While the use of force in the video is shocking on its own, what is even more shocking is the fact that the state of Texas is currently threatening the victim with 10 years in prison. On this week's PAR, we take an in-depth look into the common practice of stacking charges to intimidate citizens into taking plea deals, as well as the lack of accountability for aggressive police tactics that violate people's civil rights. We also examine the possibility that police may have targeted the victim in question for previously posting a YouTube video that exposed excessive force.﻿﻿﻿<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-police-accountability-report--4585846/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-police-accountability-report--4585846/support</a>.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1285</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/56e17d1b09adbfaa04b549a08127c587.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>A cop kicked a compliant man in the head, then police tried to cover it up</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/a-cop-kicked-a-compliant-man-in-the-head-then-police-tried-to-cover-it-up--46204872</link><description><![CDATA[The brutal assault on a suspect after a high-speed chase that was captured by a security camera reveals how police have many hidden mechanisms to skirt accountability.
