Isn't this category argumentative. Who decides when someone is a victim of police brutality? Police work is often violent and brutal, that's why they are given guns, tasers, mace, night sticks, and handcuffs. To call someone a victim means sounds like the police officer is in the wrong. If this category continues to exist it should be limited to people that complained of police excessive force coupled with that police officer being found guilty in either a criminal court or by the agency that employs him.Racingstripes (talk) 19:46, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There was support at WP:CfD (see link above) for keeping this category. In debatable cases, this can be discussed on the relevant article's talk page. – Fayenatic London 14:12, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
