Officer claims she was attacked. Video shows otherwise

Yet again, another example of a recurring theme with police officers. When they assault someone, they claim they were assaulted first. This is a free move for them, since there are no repercussions for lying. They only change their story if and when evidence to the contrary (video or otherwise) comes up. This of course raises the question of how many times things like this happen and there is no video evidence. How many assault victims are then charged with assault themselves and further victimized?
