The mainstream media occasionally condescends to report on an act of police brutality which has either been captured by a vigilant citizen or been leaked onto the internet. But in the wake of these 'isolated incidents' has flowed a torrent of videos which clearly demonstrate that this behaviour is far from that of a few bad apples. Unfortunately, it is very likely that only those who make it onto CNN or the BBC will ever be prosecuted.

To many, the scenes captured in these videos will come as something of a reality shock - possibly accompanied by a compelling belief that the victims were somehow 'asking for it' or that we don't know what crimes thay might have been involved in. But it is not the duty of the police to mete out summary justice. If a criminal is in custody, the police have a duty of care - and, as these videos illustrate, some victims are violently assaulted not even remotely resisting arrest.

No responsibility can be taken for the content of these videos and the views expressed within.
