Who to call about an out-of-control cop? ?

Specifically a policeman who insults you such as calling you trash or bringing your race into it, approaches you to “investigate” but really just harasses you, gets too close to you and has his face close to yours, is basically pompous and condescending, all based on a biased opinion that you’re guilty of a crime you’re not and he can’t have enough strong evidence to arrest you for. What action do you take and what do you do?

Stories on the news about crooked cops have me thinking this over. 

Update:

I figured I’d take out my phone and video the entire encounter but who do I take this video too to seek legal action?

    You file a report against this person. Or you run to the media, they'll print anything that casts cops in a bad light right now.

    Most police departments have a governing ethics body.

    You would make a complaint through them if you thought such an incident had occurred.

    Keep in mind that while you would haveyour video, in these times most of them do too from body cams, dash cams, etc.
