My colleagues @zipporahosei and @mrsimon22 reached out to 40 law enforcement agencies about these 68 incidents of police violence and tried to find out whether they have been investigated and if any criminal charges were filed against the officers involved.
We collected these cases so you can filter your search by:
• Your local police department
• Whether an officer has been identified
• If there’s disciplinary action

You can also watch their videos for context
There are many instances where we don’t even know who the cops are in these violent videos and you can help us identify them.
You can also read this accompanying piece by @zipporahosei and @mrsimon22 about what they found investigating these 68 cases. https://www.propublica.org/article/what-has-happened-to-police-filmed-hurting-protesters-so-far-very-little
What Has Happened to Police Filmed Hurting Protesters? So Far, Very Little.

We asked police departments about viral videos showing cops escalating violence against protesters. Most refused to name the officers or provide updates on their investigations.

This could not have been done without the work of @lhwaldron, @katiezavadski, @schwanksta and our super duo Scripps Howard research fellows @zipporahosei and @mrsimon22..
