Watch the video. 15 cops go to a home because of a noise complaint, a noise complaint. They burst in, which is illegal, they beat the daughter, beat and tase the son for asking for their badge numbers (which is his right), drag the mother out of the house and take her to jail in cuffs (not allowed for noise complaints). Then guess what they do? They lie, lie, lie.
Disgusting.

Good question. I just can't get over 15 cops going out for this. I've had loud parties. A couple of cops come to the door and tell you to turn the music down, a couple, not 15!
