    apparently, that took place in Indianapolis. A woman pulls away from a cop when he grabs her breast, and than she is beaten. Another woman is shoved to the sidewalk. Hope the cops didn't have their feelings hurt by female protestors

    sure, both of those video come into the middle, or end, of a situation. But it's getting pretty hard to imagine justification for all the police brutality we're seeing

    It feels like we've stepped into a worse case scenario simulator...

    WTF do we have to do? Lots of cops abusing power and doing shit like this. How many have to be fired until this stops? The culture of police officers protecting their own when they abuse power and use excessive force needs to end. The officers in the 1st video need to be fired and charged. The officer in the 2nd video too. In situations like that he should arrested immediately by a fellow officer. That is blatant assault. I don't care how angry they are, that is unacceptable.

    Police officers need to be vetted better when they are hired. They need to go through more psychological testing. A lot of loose cannons out there that don't belong anywhere near a uniform. They make a bad name for the rest.

    I just find it odd and concerning that these guys would stand back....particularly, two of them of color.

    Speaking of Maine. He visited a factory that was making swabs. Again did not wear a mask even in a sterile facility. They had to throw out all the swabs manufactured during his visit (they knew they were doing this and decided to only keep them for the cameras).

    I wish I was joking.

    Why are we tiptoeing around the fact that he is a closet racist?

    Nothing odd about it. Police culture is such that you must stand back and not question when your partner/a fellow officer does wrong/abuses his power or else your a traitor.

    not condoning the beating but i paused and tried to see frame by frame. I do not see a breast grope. Id love someone to capture a screen shot or this is yet another instance of not reporting truthfully.

    Seem more concerned about a black man not intervening than a white man crushing someone to death. But what is your point? Because this almost sounds like the why don't we talk about black on black crime sort of reasoning when confronted with police brutality.

    Does it really matter? They still went well beyond what was needed. Whatever they touched, the person didnt want. Thats all that matters.

    They need to be fired.

    Im for arresting any that assault children or adults.
    If I had been with my 14 year old granddaughter when she was physically harassed, I would have held him by gun point tell the cops came.
    My daughter did call the cops but never heard anything.
