When someone is arrested, they have the right to be treated fairly and with respect. Being arrested doesn't mean a person is guilty of a crime; therefore they should be treated as innocent, until they are proven otherwise. Sometimes when a person is accused of committing a violent crime, police act violently toward the accused person, even if they are arrested without resistance. This could be an act of police brutality.
Sometimes police overstep their authority or abuse that authority and they violate the rights of the accused. A man in another state was arrested and convicted of robbery. He claims that while he was getting arrested police stomped on him and caused great bodily injury to him, including a hemorrhage in his eye and broken bones. These injuries are a serious violation of the accused person's rights.
