What gets me isn't that three police have behaved in clearly unacceptable terms, all three apparently assaulting protesters. It is that is each case this is done in full view of other police not one of whom intervenes.
This is a cultural issue within the police. No one assisted those assaulted by their colleagues or sort to apprehend those responsible. And you can bet no complaints were made when they got back to the station (assuming they judged it inappropriate to intervene at the time)
Prosecute, discipline, sack these guys, whatever. But until you also discipline the police who witnessed it and didn't intervene, nothing will change. The 3 who assualted protesters behave as if they are above the law because they are above the law. |  |

Omission - failure to act also in UK known as malfeasance in public office.
The problem for the potential Police witnesses, is that whoever they give evidence against will have friends on the force. Then one night the witness will get into trouble , call for help it either not come at all or will be late. |  |

It's also a structural problem. Apart from the FBI, policing is done by a myriad of state, county and local organisations, with no broad oversight or commonality of standards. Each, literally, a law unto themselves.
Moreover, judging by the number of officers who you read of having second jobs, it does not seem to be terribly well paid. Thus is not going to attract the best candidates.
Not sure the US ever developed the "friendly local Bobby" attitude which we (used to) have. The fact it is commonly called 'law enforcement' is a subtle difference of emphasis, of coercion rather than assistance. On top of that is layered a history of the US police enforcing segregation and other oppressive laws upon the black population, well within living memory. |  |

It’s also only 55 years since Jim Crow and 155 years since the end of slavery.
It is going to take several more generations before so much of that recent history becomes well and truly consigned to the past. |  |

Those are all awful.
The causal way the last one walked away showed he felt nothing could happen to him.
With everyone now having a HD video camera in their pocket the real behaviour of the police is being captured and they are going to have a lot to answer for.

Not only that, but they’re happy to behave this way in front of the press too. That says a lot about how untouchable they feel. |  |

There are around 18,000 police agencies in USA. Makes it difficult to police the Police. When there is an incident you sometimes have 4 or more police forces attend. |  |

Don't disagree with your point. But that is exactly why they need to get serious about rooting out not just the violent thugs, but those who protect them / turn a blind eye.
The culture is the problem - a "them and us" culture and it needs to be challenged / changed if they are ever going to turn around the situation where policeman feel they can act with impunity - as seen in the 3 videos. | |
