Can't say I've ever come across a cop beating someone with a flashlight and curb stomping them. I think I saw this in American History X once though.

From just last year: http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article107619287.html
And it happens more often. This is just the handiest link I had. This happens quite often to people of all races, and only the proliferation of smartphones has allowed evidence to be available.
I'm kinda thinking that nowadays more people are just standing and recording while before smartphones they'd help the cop right away and prevent a beating. I don't know. Do we have any cops on Steemit here?
Why should they help the cop? Why do you believe the cop is in the right, and the one he is assailing is not the one in need of assistance?
When did the scenario you describe occur?
I used to know an old retired cop who told me a bunch of stories, one of them being one time when he gave this guy a ticket. Since he wasn't a dick about it the week after that same guy just chanced to pass by when the cop was wrestling with some dealer that was carrying and helped him put the cuffs on the guy. He said if that didn't happen he'd have had to pull his gun or be killed.
Who the fuck knows who's at fault. The way I see it, if someone intervenes at least no one shoots no one else.
