Using power unjustly

Take a look at this video I just saw on the BBC website

Wow! What I can see is police using their power unjustly. I don’t see any agression on the part of Robert Johnson (the man against the wall being punched). Does it take 3 officers to hit someone in the head and various parts of their body to make them sit down? There must be an easier more non violent way.

But then America has always been a nation that will use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, overbearing use of force has become an emblem of their exploits all over the earth. I guess when you are part of a system that exploits people in other countries in that way, it won’t be long before the same principles, that is the unjust use of power, become common place in the way you deal with your own people.
