I find this odd. I grew up in the 90's where there was a television show called COPS. They filmed police officers routinely cashing down and having physical altercations with people.

The difference today is there is no context of what led up to it. Only the act itself which can be spun and edited however anyone likes.

Do police go to far, sometimes yes. Is every encounter where violence occurs to far, probably not. I do agree that when it is too far they need to be held accountable.

That show is cancelled now, as a result of the public attention on police brutality.

The police had edit rights to the show, they could edit out any of the parts that made them look bad.
