I don't know. What do you think?

Proof of mistreatment is grounds for valid legal action, although that's expensive -- but I'm sure there are also plenty of activist groups that take abuse-of-power cases pro bono.

Contacting the DA's office might be a step. Writing to representatives, etc. Tenuously, contacting higher-ups within the PD in question. This can backfire, I am fully aware.

Of this I'm positive: Twitter will do absolutely nothing except further the stupid, dangerous divide between citizens of this country and their police officers. It's a huge problem, caused by both sides, has got to be fixed. So if you get the opportunity, fix it in real ways instead of hiding behind a username.
