Not surprising at all, there's been so many cop brutality incidents over the years. Off the top of my head, a cop broke the arm of an elderly woman with dementia and the cops laughed and joked about it. There was another case where the cops make a man crawl on floor before executing him. People don't just become monsters overnight. They've been trained over the years to behave this way.
The job also attracts monsters and that’s who they want to hire
Bodycams are making a lot more of these available now too. Saw a brutal one where cops paralyze a handcuffed guy by breaking his neck, then they sit prop him up in a sitting position and complain that hes uncooperative because won't move.
That was a year ago, the dude is dead and the cops got off scott free.
It makes it more available to view, but it hardly does anything to prevent it from being done because the cops face no consequences regardless usually.
George Floyd? Iirc one of the officers went to prison for that
No, sadly most of the abuse never makes widespread news
