Body camera footage obtained by HuffPost shows a police dog viciously attacking an unarmed Black man in front of his 9-year-old son during a traffic stop in Denison, Texas, last year.
Three law enforcement officers in the San Francisco Bay Area were charged Thursday in the 2021 death of a 26-year-old Latino father in police custody.

A judge on Wednesday sentenced six Mississippi law enforcement officers on state charges for the torture of two Black men during a no-warrant home raid.
A grand jury in Harris County, Texas, reindicted a former Houston Police Department officer on two murder charges Wednesday, one week after a judge had dismissed similar charges against him.
A federal judge in Mississippi handed down lengthy prison sentences to six white former law enforcement officers last week, after they tortured two Black men in January of last year. The judge sentenced the sixth and final officer, Joshua Hartfield, on Thursday to 10 years in prison. The officers referred to themselves as the “Goon Squad,” according to prosecutors.
The Tennessee Senate on Thursday passed a bill that would restrict local governments’ power to pass police reform measures — and would undo a police reform ordinance that Memphis’ City Council passed after police there beat Tyre Nichols, a Black man, to death last year.
