You don’t follow instructions? Then, police are going to use force. But the one shown on this video is excessive police violence already. Trying to arrest the suspect is one thing, but repeatedly caning a guy whose on the leg while on his back is another. Is this a conditioning strategy? To learn to fear the police?

As if being homeless is not enough, the guy had to take some crap from the cops. According to reports, the guy was drunk and resisting questioning, but having to be hit on the face while you’re down is low, even for thugs and low-lives. Police violence like this is truly disheartening, if not disturbing.

I’m divided on this one. The old lady was taken down by a female officer, and on the video, it looked like police violence. But consider the situation where the old lady was handling something like a sharp object. This would be a tough call. If you can disarm the old lady without hurting her, that would be ideal. But then, did the officer exert excessive force?

This clip from BBC can be a good and bad thing. The good thing is that people are speaking out and making complaints against police violence. The bad thing is that they had reason to complain in the first place. Well, it is not an ideal world as you can see.

Here’s the story: a teen seems to have fallen from a bridge. Cops arrive at the scene, and the kid got tasered 19 times by the police. Police violence? Could be. But the police captain said the teen was making threatening remarks to the police at the time. It’s a case of he-says-she-says. Go figure.

In this surveillance video, a cop pulls a gun on a woman’s face in a mini-mart. The cop claims that the woman is being confronted about a traffic accident, and he believes that the woman and her group had a firearm. It does smell of police violence if the first thing a cop does is pull out his firearm and shove it to her face.

The tape doesn’t lie. Here, you see a sheriff deputy goes all out on a suspect by giving him 13 punches, three kicks, and lots of tasers during arrest. The deputy was fired already, and the suspect has filed charges. One thing to note was that the police claims the suspect was resisting arrest, thus, the tasers.

This police officer in India knows how to get tough with criminals, even if it is a child. Here, the officer inflicts police violence on a girl who was accused of stealing by pulling her by the hair. It is disturbing how even kids these young don’t get a break.

In this video, the police is captured on tape kicking a guy on the head. The guy was already lying on the ground with arms spread. After the kick, the guy also received a hit on the head from a flashlight. This could be police violence, or this could be the guy getting what he deserved from running away from the cops in the first place.

In this story, the SWAT team raids a mayor’s house in connection with a drug investigation. Of course, there is probable cause to storm the mayor’s house. The problem is, the mayor was innocent. Also, they killed the family dog. Excessive police violence? You bet. If this can be done to a mayor, what more for ordinary civilians?
