Bodycams are making a lot more of these available now too. Saw a brutal one where cops paralyze a handcuffed guy by breaking his neck, then they sit prop him up in a sitting position and complain that hes uncooperative because won't move.

That was a year ago, the dude is dead and the cops got off scott free.

It makes it more available to view, but it hardly does anything to prevent it from being done because the cops face no consequences regardless usually.

George Floyd? Iirc one of the officers went to prison for that

No, sadly most of the abuse never makes widespread news
