It has nothing to do with lately.

It's been going on for many many years. You simply get to see it recorded and posted to the internet nowadays due to technology.

There are fucking pigs and there are police officers who protect and SERVE the PUBLIC properly with respect for citizens and their rights. Unfortunately the ratio isn't 1 pig for every 50 good officers.
