I’ve been looking at some of the videos of bad policing - .
Did you look up any videos showing the other side - POs being attacked by people they're trying to question or take into custody? There are a lot of those videos out there, too, but strangely, you never see them on the news. Look at some of those videos and you will see how POs put their lives on the line every day. I agree there are some bad cops out there and they should be weeded out, but there are a lot of bad people out there that need to be dealt with, also.

A possible example is when Floyd was arrested. He was put into the police car and while the police officers were dealing with the other two individuals, he escaped from the vehicle. That is when things got serious. Interesting that that video was not released to try to explain more details of the incident. There is always videos that spotlight the mistakes made by law enforcement, but how often do you get to see the other side and how the suspect is acting?
