In this video, you have a student tasered several times when being escorted out of the library. There can be two sides to this story. One is the police exerted excessive police violence by using the taser. Another is that why didn’t the student identify himself and get the whole thing over with?
You have to be at least safe in a police station right? But, you see here in this video police officers taking advantage of a seemingly drunk woman. Though the woman did agree to the whole snapshot affair, you somehow think that police did not act in a gentlemanly manner as expected of men in uniform.
I would agree that people sometimes are stubborn, which forces the police to act. But as they say, you don’t hit a man when he’s down, not with a wooden club or baton. Cops may be doing their job, but this video shows how violence or use of police force can become excessive.
Here, in this video, police exerts excessive violence on an old guy. The old guy gets pinned down to the wall, punched in the head, slammed to the ground, and punched on the head again. How about that for police brutality? Aside from that, the media gets harassed as well.

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.
