What Do You Do When Assaulted by a Policeman?

There are however times when police are under a great amount of stress and they make mistakes as in any profession. When one makes a mistake and it results in the physical or psychological harm of another individual, then that person needs to be held accountable. When police get involved in wrongdoing, violating their commitment to serve and protect, then compensation for injury becomes necessary.
