I spent the last little bit scrolling through this guy's twitter, where he has been keeping track of videos of police brutality from these protests. There is an astounding amount. Some of them are somewhat borderline, or low quality (predominantly shaky witness phone cams), but holy shit, there is so much here. Literally hundreds if not thousands of cops should be arrested and fired for their actions over this past week.

One particularly egregious example:

Police shoot a man in the head with a beanbag round, fracturing his skull. They then tell the medics to carry him over and when they do, they open fire on them with more of these rounds, hitting the lead medic. The man is currently in critical condition and will likely have permanent brain damage. "Less lethal" methods can still be lethal or at least highly dangerous. They should only be deployed against a specific and immediate threat (or preferably, not at all).

EDIT:

One more (Warning: It does show blood)

Cops shove an older man causing him to fall and hit his head on the concrete and start bleeding out his ear (a sign of severe trauma). One goes to administer aid but he is shooed away to join in the accosting of another man with a sign. They then report publicly that he tripped a fell. Luckily video footage is available or else this likely would have gone undetected. We need cops wearing body cams 100% of the time. If your cam is off or covered, you are fired on the spot. All footage should be accessible by an independent review board, with random stops being reviewed periodically as well as 100% of complaints and 100% of injuries no matter how minor.
