A cursory search of the interwebs for 'police brutality USA' (excluding the slop replies) will give you pages and pages of samples.

#Oklahoma court clarifies #RiotLaw amid legal battle for 2020 #protesters
The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has clarified the state's definition of rioting, affecting the legal proceedings for five protesters charged in 2020.

OKLAHOMA CITY — "The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has clarified the state's definition of rioting, impacting the legal proceedings for five individuals charged after a protest in 2020 over the death of #GeorgeFloyd.
"In 2020, five protesters were accused of blocking the path of an officer while painting a #mural outside the police department.
" 'The defendants, who were convicted in the state of Oklahoma, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit, saying their free speech rights were violated by being forced to plead or go to trial,' said legal expert Ed Blau. 'What this opinion from the court of criminal appeals did was clarify to the federal court that covers Oklahoma — exactly what Oklahoma statutes mean when it comes to rioting.'
The protesters believed the law was vague or improperly defined."
