A cop doesn’t need to get violent.
If a cop abuses his authority, that’s also a type of Police Brutality, IMHO. Am I right?
Also, which cops are the worst? In the media, you hear most often from the big departments like LAPD or NYPD, but I think GENERALLY police in the Midwest and South are the most corrupt. What do you think? That said, there are of course many fine upstanding and hardworking officers who put their lives on line every day to protect the American people, but–like in any big organizations–there are also the black sheep.
Seriously, it’s true. Some cops think there are 10 feet tall and bulletproof. I’ve seen some police officers abuse illegal immigrants, knowing they won’t do sh*t, since they’re afraid of getting deported. But what really ticks me off is seeing them take pride on what they did. Cops are humans and with 3 months in the academy, they’re not professionals. It’s because of cops like them, that have made a real cop’s work more difficult.
And in regards to LAPD & NYPD, for some damn reason if something happens, Los Angeles are the first ones to go through it. They were the first ones to kill a suspect for stealing a car on live television (The guy was also shooting at the police).
Another incident occured in L.A. where 3 Police Officers died in a shootout, and they found their empty magazines in their pockets. They were actually picking them up during the shootout. Since then, Police Departments across the U.S. started training differently.

There are shanty towns (also known as Favelas in Brazil) where the town has become so corrupt and out of control that it has been negelected by the government and deemed beyond improvment or repair.
These towns tend to police themselves, using drug lords to keep order.
I have had no experience of police brutality myself although i imagine that these must be the most sinister police to come across, as they make the law themselves and therefore can get away with anything.

I’m waiting for an answer about the police physical examination as I myself am going to try and join the Metropolitan police, in England there was recently a story run by the BBC about police brutality with a video of a man being pinned down and beaten by three police officers, it was very shocking but on the whole the police in england are a sound organization, but as always like you say, there are people who stand out for bad reasons who the media emphazies on, casting doubt on the policing force as a whole.
