You know Joe, I did a search trying to find video of this beating but didn't find it.

But I did come across other video's of police killing/murdering unarmed citizens, and getting away with it.

I mean anyone can find it, and I don't know if you would be interested in allowing the link or making your own post, but I think the public should be informed and educated that this does happen. A lot.

I think that is one of the concerns the police have about being recorded.

I'll include a link to youtube videos that show SOME of these types of things.

As always, it's up to you if you allow people to see such ... what's the right term? Criminal acts committed by police?
