Michigan Civil Rights Lawyers – Police Misconduct


We honor and appreciate the vast majority of police officers who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe. Yet police shootings have repeatedly made headlines the last couple of years, underscoring the fact that there are bad cops who shouldn’t be on the streets. And that even good cops can make horrible decisions that cost lives.
