       US police overdo violence

       Years ago I watched "Cops" on TV for a while--until I became
       upset by some of the real-life scenes portraying the training
       cops were routinely receiving. Sometimes they looked so military
       that they were almost goose-stepping. And then there were scenes
       where they beat suspects far more brutally than seemed
       warranted.
       It's been widely known that some on the police force use their
       power to show their race prejudice and pick up people of color
       for ridiculously petty "offenses" like driving with one
       tail-light out.
       It adds up to a pattern of a macho culture that glorifies
       cruelty.
       An instance of this happened recently when some officers pushed
       a 75-year-old man who was among the demonstrators for justice
       for George Floyd. They knocked him over, inflicting a serious
       head wound--and if you watch the video, they seemed very
       inclined to move on as if nothing had happened, leaving the man
       lying helpless on the ground:
