It’s Friday, so what better way to spend your day than watching videos of police brutality? As if it wasn’t bad enough that American cops have to shoot people’s pets in front of their children, they now have to make headlines by punching women in the face. Why? Because they crossed a road.
Sometimes, though, a fist just isn’t enough and the cops get to pick from their vast selection of cool gadgets to subdue/maim/kill a suspect. Here are a few of my favourite videos of cops exercising their rights to be dicks.

This video comes straight from a Hollywood blockbuster. Just swap the cop for Bruce Willis, and one yippeekayay later and the suspect is down!
Not sure whether the cops mistook this guy for a being a prostitute or they just fancied a good old-fashioned racist beatdown.
It seems not even paramedics who are rushing a sick patient to hospital can avoid getting pulled over and beaten up by the cops.
You fight for your country, kill some VC, and watch your friends get maimed and killed in front of you, and this is what you get.
This video sparked the infamous LA riots that left 53 people dead and resulted in $1 billion in damages to the city. Nice going, guys!
You’re out celebrating New Year’s Eve when you get pulled of your train on your way home, you sit up against the wall protesting your innocence, posing no threat at all when this happens.
The last video was a little heavy so I found one to cheer you up. It never ceases to make me laugh. This girl has some stone-cold brass balls—until she gets maced, that is.
