AOL Black Voices high profile police brutality photo gallery · 724 days ago

For those who want a random helping of police brutality stories that made national news but you may have missed, AOL Black Voices has a photo gallery of twelve high profile police brutality victims.

The victims they highlight include: Timothy Thomas, whose shooting death sparked the 2001 Cincinnati riots; Abner Louima, whom NYPD officers sodomized with a plunger; Amadou Diallo, who was hit with 19 bullets as an unarmed suspect; Kathryn Johnston, a 93 year old grandmother who was blasted to death by police officers serving a no-knock warrant; Rodney King, who I hope you all know the story of; and Sean Bell whose story is still in the news as he died two weeks ago after his car was shot at 50 times by undercover NYPD officers while leaving a strip club.
