What is the state of Police Brutality and police abuse of power/corruption in your country?
Feel free to share any stories which may be applicable.

The Metropolitan Police in particular are pretty scandal-prone.

The practice of 'kettling' - police officers crowding demonstrators into a small area away from everyone else - is a growing problem. There was the notorious case where innocent bystander Ian Tomlinson was beaten up and killed by police officers.

I don't know how brutal the cops were in the past but these days they usually only use excessive force against Indigenous Australians.

And the outcome of said case?

Furthermore, Black people in particular have a high rate of deaths in police custody which are seldom investigated properly. Excessive brutality against immigrants and asylum-seekers in detention centres is also problematic.

There was a trial, but the police officers were cleared.

Typical. A recent case here in the U.S. involved the killing of a 12 year old kid who was playing with his toy gun at the park. The cops drove up next to him, got out of their car and shot him. Here is the video if any would care to see it:

Lend us some brutal police, our police have become a bunch of pansies, can't even stand up to a few teens these days...
