A cop sends a guy flying and slams him into a wall, leaving the poor guy in a coma. The bad thing is that it was a case of mistaken identity. The worse thing is that the police don’t see anything wrong with what the cop did. Is police violence standard operating procedure nowadays?

When you look at this video, you just have to shake your head. The man was cuffed and restrained, but the officer thought it appropriate to hit the man on the face with his baton. Now, that’s some professionalism! I don’t know what the suspect did, but that was low, hitting a man that can’t fight back. Police brutality it is.

Well, protests are hard to deal with. You’d have complaints flying from the police and protesters. You have police abuse on the one hand, and protesters being stubborn and belligerent on the other. It’s a hard case to decide. Police stops riots with a hard hand, and protesters are (more often than not) involved in them.

This is a video of a woman filing a complaint for police abuse and excessive force. She claims that police hit her on the face and continued to beat her even when she was cuffed. What I don’t like about this case is that you’ve seen this too much that you get desensitized.

We know that resisting arrest forces the police to mete out police violence. But running over a guy with a police car? That’s police abuse there, as if there wasn’t any other way to bring the guy down and arrest him. If this video is true, then this clearly spells out police brutality.

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?
