In Dolton, Illinois, police officer Christopher Lloyd was caught on video throwing a special needs student into a locker then slamming him to the ground, breaking his nose. The boy's attorney said it was because he violated a high school dress code by not having his shirt tucked in. Lloyd was later arrested for allegedly raping a woman. Last year, Lloyd shot his ex-wife's new husband 24 times outside their home, killing him. The Chicago police, for whom he worked at the time, called it self defense.
