Unfortunately, sometimes a small minority the very people whose job it is to protect us are the ones causing harm.

The most common kind of police misconduct is excessive use of physical force or unlawful use of deadly force. Other examples include police discrimination in regards to who and how they proceed to arrest an individual. Police discrimination can also come in the form of non-enforcement of the law in regards to certain groups.
Illinois police misconduct and abuse lawyers bring lawsuits for violations by the police in federal court.
