William Cunningham and Kennieth Smith were doing nothing wrong, had committed no crime, and were attempting to go about their daily routine when they were nearly killed by a power tripping cop.

On Wednesday, that power tripping cop, Prince George’s County Police officer Jenchesky Santiago, was remarkably found guilty for 1st and 2nd-degree assault, use of a firearm in violence, and misconduct in office – only after cellphone footage survived and was given to prosecutors....

Frightened that he had a madman pressing a gun against his temple ‘so hard that it moved his head,’ Cunningham slowly made his way back to the vehicle. This slow walk was seen as a threat to the tyrant Santiago, which made him even more enraged and more apt to preen for his sadistic audience....

After the video was turned off, Cunningham testified in court that Santiago later told them, “Y’all gonna learn about officer Santiago today. I just got back from Iraq. I’m not scared of you all.” He testified that Santiago also said, “You need to watch your attitude because us P.G. cops, we shoot people.”

Need I even mention that a majority of the people the P.G. cops "serve and protect" are African American?

1. As a teenager, I had multiple interactions with PG County police.

Not one was pleasant, and a few were terrifying. Even then, I saw how my black friends were treated much worse than I was (I am White). The police there were not trusted by anyone in the community. ANYTIME a police car was spotted everyone scattered like a live grenade had been tossed in our midst. It was just the smartest approach to dealing with your friendly neighborhood Prince George's County police officer.
