They went into people's houses to arrest them for being out after curfew.

They fired tear gas into people's houses because they were suspected of giving water to protestors.

In Minneapolis a group of cops went around off duty, out of uniform in an unmarked van and fired irritant paintballs at everyone they saw. When someone shot back they arrested him for assauting an officer, assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, etc. He was eventually acquitted because he stopped shooting as soon as they ID'd themselves.

The police are fucking animals roaming the streets and inflicting violence anywhere they can get away with it.
