This made me feel physically sick. American police scare the bejesus out of me.
It’s still pertinent to a British audience. In 2010, watching the student protests we saw the fuzz letting loose on Jody McIntyre, a disabled wheelchair user (article here); pulling him out of his chair twice. The footage caused a stir and helped to launch investigations.
If it’s wrong, film it. Don’t be afraid.
I’d also like to say that the MAJORITY of police officers do a brilliant job. I’m not a ‘fuck da police’ person. I’m saying if someone enforcing a law breaks it, and puts people in danger or causes them harm they need to be struck off.
I was only going to watch this for a minute because these always make me feel uneasy, but it really is difficult to turn away. They elicit such righteous anger and rightly so
