Cop plants drugs on an innocent man.

Theres a video to go with this too, at the end of the article.

A lawsuit was filed accusing Cookeville, Tennessee police of "excessive use of force" and "planting contraband" during a domestic assault arrest last year.

One officer has been placed on leave because of the incident, and five others are named in the federal lawsuit.

Police car video from the Cookeville Police Department captured the incident that triggered the lawsuit.

On the night of June 4, 2007, Carlos Ferrell was stopped by police on a domestic assault warrant. According to the lawsuit, Ferrell's ex-wife, Tiffany, saw Ferrell, called police and was involved in the initial chase.

Once Ferrell came to a stop, he was ordered out of the car by Cookeville Police Officer Chris Melton.

"Put your hands up, and get out of the car," Melton is heard telling Ferrell on the tape.

Ferrell, 28, exits the car with his arms raised while Officer Jeff Johnson is holding the department's police dog.

The video shows the dog bite Ferrell several times. Attorney Blair Durham is representing Ferrell.

"The dog is released. The dog then chews into Mr. Ferrell's leg where, of course, he goes to the ground," he said.

"Your dog just ate my leg off," Ferrell said on the tape. Durham also accused Melton of planting drugs on Ferrell.

In the dash cam video, Melton is seen searching Ferrell's pockets a number of times.

Then, Durham said, another officer appears to give a signal with his hand, at which point Melton then reaches into his right pocket and looks into the camera.

It's at that point on the tape that Durham said Melton appears to put drugs in Ferrell's pocket.

"Whoa, Carlos, weed? Now you got you another freaking charge, how about that?"

Melton told Ferrell in the video. Melton has been placed on administrative leave with pay. T

The night of the stop, Ferrell was charged with evading arrest and possession of marijuana.

"That's a complete drug plant is what I'm alleging. It's a complete unlawful search, first of all, and it's a planting of paraphernalia," Durham said.

Cookeville police said they are "completely cooperating with the TBI (Tennessee Bureau of Investigation)."

A representative said the department is not trying to hide anything and doesn't want to look like it is.

Police took Ferrell to an area hospital for treatment of his injuries.

Durham said Ferrell is no choir boy but that he's never been arrested on violent offenses

Maybe the cops should quit turning dogs loose on people.

This is somewhat local to me.

What do you mean "the cops?" Do you mean a few isolated incidents?

Since I know this will hit home for Devillain....I can find a ton of articles where African-Americans are responsible for a wide array of crimes. Do you feel that the actions of a few represent the group as a whole?

Where are the stories of the cops who save peoples lives everyday? You won't see them here...instead people like Devillain paint cops as corrupt because of isolated incidents.

Of his last 8 threads, 5 are about cops. The inability to present any balance is what I find bothersome.

This isn't fox news...

I don't think he has to be neither fair nor balanced.

No, he doesn't have to be, but I can call him out for being illogical all I please.

Here's a quote from Devillain, showcasing his deep-rooted problems with those of higher authority than him:

both shows make you realize what pieces of shit some people of authority are.

If I subsituted just about any race or religion for "people of authority", it would be unfair. But because these are police officers (some of whom risk their lives everyday to protect us), it is somehow kosher to dedicate what I would consider copious amounts of effort to bash them.

In no way am I saying that all cops are perfect (the same way that all other denominations/jobs/etc are not perfect), but the repeated attempts to paint cops in a negative fashion is getting really old for me.

The truth is that PEOPLE are pieces of shit.

Actually you can substitute any race or religion. We allow bigotry as long as you aren't profane about it.
