I'd say Minneapolis right now, but surely there are worse

    Chicago, LA, NYPD are all notorious but a huge honorable mention has to go out to fucking Aurora, Colorado.
    I hear so much fucked shit about that place all the time I genuinely don't understand what's in the water over there. There were the cops who killed Elijah McClain, then the riot cops who broke up the vigil for Elijah McClain, then there was the cop who enthusiastically broke the arm of that mentally disabled lady for shoplifting ("Ready for the pop? Haha, here we go!"), then the video of the cop bouncing on the balls of his feet, very excited to shoot people during the George Floyd protests (he was later caught on video pushing through his fellow piggies who were trying to hold him back so he could fire off a rubber bullet at someone who called him out). I feel like they make news on the national level once every two months and its either some cop shit or a mass shooting. Cursed city.

      Don't forget that like 5 cops have crashed their squad cars while drunk and faced zero consequences.

      I remember reading something about how Aurora PD has less oversight than Denver PD but I forget why. It's also one of the poorest and most ethnically diverse suburbs, and developers are trying to gentrify parts of it.

        Aurora hogs are especially feral. Loveland are a close second, the ones who broke that dementia patient's arm, but I hate that Aurora has all the good ethnic restaurants because I'm always risking an interaction with a completely unhinged police force.
