THE COPWATCH "EXCELLENCE IN REPORTING" AWARD
All too often, media outlets fail to fully cover police misconduct. Their misguided forbearance causes tremendous harm to their communities. Copwatch seeks to honor and encourage the exceptional reporters and media companies who break that mold. |

THE COPWATCH "BRASS BALLS" AWARD
Bestowed at varying intervals upon particularly execrable representatives of the "Justice System" who demonstrate utter contempt and disregard for the citizens they are sworn to serve. Note that brass shatters when struck by steel-toed boots. |

The antithesis of "Suicide by Cop" (an Orwellian public-relations phrase used by cops to cover the murder of "uncooperative" citizens), "SUICIDE BY CITIZEN" is a legitimate phenomenon ocurring with ever-increasing frequency. (Copyright 2003 Copwatch) |

News: SUICIDE BY COP
The only valid application of this habitually misused term is to describe a scenario in which a cop kills HIMSELF. For a myriad of reasons, cops commit suicide at a rate higher than people in almost any other occupation. |

THE ARENA
Moderator Duncan Philp is a vehement critic of the police. His attitude is viewed by some as refreshingly direct and by others as over-the-top. Regardless of your perspective, you can’t argue with his results: he recently won $20k from the JSD. |
