Why does police brutality exists?

A couple of years ago, my brother and I were at an indie rock concert. Now my brother is a great guy, never even gotten a traffic ticket or broken any other law in his life. Since it was a small club, my brother and I went outside with some other people to cool off. Aster a couple moments, this police officer came up, hoisted my brother up by the collar and told him to get off "his side walk". This was unprovoked and let a nasty bruise on my brother's neck. So we called the police department next day and we were told we were lucky "we were not arrested!" What the hell? Why does this covering up for such behavior happen or even happen in the first place?

Why does police brutality exists?
I've had so many instance like this happen to me and it's a lot of the reason I detest the police. I'm not a criminal so I shouldn't be treated like one.


I'm very well aquainted with the police captain in my town and he was talking about a seminar he went to not long ago. They were told to treat everyone with respect but to have a plan to kill them. I understand being prepared for the worst but I think most cops take this mentality to the extreme. I also think most cops become cops because of personal issues growing up.
Reply:The more brutal a socety is, the more brutal its police becomes. It's an eye for an eye.
Reply:After 27 years of law enforcement, I would like to hear the other side of the story before drawing a conclusion on this question. Its possible the officer had been dealing with others who were causing problems, prior to your brother's arrival, and he was presumed to be part of that group. It is also possible the officer was a total AH and should have been disciplined for his behavior. As I said, we only have your account of the incident and no input from the officer involved. There is no valid excuse for rude, obnoxious, or violent behavior by either party. This was an unfortunate incident and the supervisor should have looked into it further to determine if corrective action was justified.
Reply:Just proves people can't handle power. Everyone should be equal.
Reply:every profession has its "assholes"
Reply:You have some people who have been abused as a kid, and becoming a policeman is their way of getting even, under the guise of authority. Cowards hiding behind a badge to do evil.
Reply:I think that the answer to your question is this, there are a


lot of violent criminals out there, and in some circumstances


like during an arrest, people can get hurt if they resist, if you


go to clubs and they are dealing with a situation and you get


in the way, or are out there while they are busy, you should


get up and move on, instead of having them, that is the Police


move you while they are busy you and he could have moved


on yourself and this may not have happened...............................





You are lucky you were not arrested, you should not be there


if they are busy with something, leave if you had left they may


not have been suspicious of you or have been forced to move


you on.........................................





Put something on the bruise and do not deliberately antagonise


the Police again, they are quite within their rights to tell you to


move on, or move you on and out of their way when they are


working..................................
Reply:This sorry piece of **** was probably butt raped by his father, no I take that back,he wanted his father to butt rape him , and now knowing that was wrong is now punishing the public for it. All police officers are cowards, and hide behind the crooked badge!The D.A.'S--JUDGES--PUBLIC PRETENDERS ALL WORK TOGETHER AS A FAMILY! Don't you worry my friend 'justice will find them'! As for the two motherfuker's at the LAHABRA police department who murderd my little brother ***-you!!! JUSTICE WILL DEFINATELY FIND YOU, YOU COWARD'S!! (RIP MICHAEL LANCE DUARTE)
Reply:I think part of it is uncontrolable egos. They also let the power go to their heads and think they can do no wrong. Then they wonder why people don't show them more respect.
Reply:Gosh darn cops!!! Always keeping us safe, Maybe your brother was about to step on a land mine, or possibly get hit by a crazy driver. I'll bet ya the cop had nothing better to do than to hang out outside an indie rock concert harrassing fresh air seekers. He probably didn't even give you any kind of verbal cue as to "move along, giant crowd"
