Weapons, dogs, tons of power, and the only way this Neanderthal can think to handle the situation is to throw a greatly pregnant woman violently to the ground.
ACAB Everywhere.
what kind of soulless piece of scum can throw a pregnant woman to the floor risking an abortion? Hope the worst for that subhuman.
She refused an order, time to throw her around like a rag doll. ACAB.
Ofcourse there will be no accountability. If there was they wouldn’t be able to fill their ranks with people that have fragile egos who are ok with following any order so long as they can compansate for their lack of personality by beating people with out any consequences.
I thought the Dutch were the reasonable ones
Did I see one of those cops yanking on the woman’s hair? Jesus, buddy
Cops are cops and Dutch cops are horrible cunts as well
The A stands for “all” not “American”.
Authoritarian tendencies are not confined by national borders. They can emerge through institutions, political movements, and social attitudes that concentrate power, discourage dissent, or weaken accountability. Because such tendencies can become more difficult to address once entrenched, they should be recognized and challenged early through lawful, democratic means.
Public officials who abuse their authority should face timely accountability through transparent processes that respect due process and the rule of law.
Organizations should also be cautious of developing insular “good old boy” networks or cultures where loyalty is valued above fairness, competence, or transparency. Such environments can foster groupthink, favoritism, and an unhealthy us-versus-them mentality.
Healthy institutions depend on accountability, openness to criticism, and a willingness to apply the same standards to allies and opponents alike.
You don’t go into a job that requires you to be violent towards other humans because you don’t want to be violent towards other human.
ACAB applies globally
Fucking pieces of shit. Lowest of the low. I hope he lives a miserable life and dies alone.
ACAB
ACAB Everywhere
I’ve seen so many police brutality videos. They never get easier. Fuck.
Agree, there are absolutely horrible police systems, same as there are horrible people everywhere. The other side is also true, There are honorable police officers doing honorable work in many systems, protecting society like it’s their own family. Let’s not forget about that. I feel that the horrible systems get more media coverage, therefore pooling the good cops with the bad ones. Nobody covers all the times a cop takes down a dangerous person that poses an immediate threat to someone else. There are no cameras around when a cop takes down a guy who just beat up his wife.
If the problem is with the system, then it doesn’t matter if an individual person is good or bad. Good people working within horrible systems still do horrible things. They can’t do honorable work because that literally is not their job.
well said
no, horrible cops and horrible people are not equivalent. the profession is tainted, all cops are bastards.
Is there anyplace in the world that doesnt have lowest common denominators just itching to brutalize and murder in positions of law enforcement?
If you want to know what kind of people will be in a job, on average, consider what the job incentivizes and how that might appeal to the motives of different kinds of people.
Law enforcement ostensibly promotes an image of community service and protection. So you will find people that wish to do those things seeking to become police officers.
But the reality is that police work itself, policies, and legal protections for officers is far more focused on the state sanctioned use of force, the strict adherence to laws for citizenry but far more lax enforcement on officers themselves, and the authority of command given to officers in interactions with them. So for someone who wants to posture as a tough guy, to dominate over people with legal authority, to commit acts of violence with little, if any, consequence for themselves or recourse for he victim, and to remain in good standing in much of society because of the aforementioned promoted image, it serves those desires too.
And due to the us vs them mentality, the lack of liability, and the tight community formed just within law enforcement and those who work directly with them (prosecutors/DAs, judges, mayors, etc) that do not hold each other accountable unless they do something to violate that community (like reporting abuse of authority, excessive force, gross negligence, etc. on fellow officers), then the police culture itself incentives pushing out the cops with good intentions that may stir up “trouble” in the community in favor of those who will allow or actively propagate corruption and collusion.
If a job incentivizes and/or protects aggression, violence, and pretty crime, don’t be shocked when it’s full of aggressive, violent, petty criminals.
“Male bullies become cops, female bullies become nurses” is something I hear often and it makes sense. Power over vulnerable people attracts these specimen. Are ALL in these professions like that? Of course not but probably a higher average than in other fields.
Nope.
Perhaps, Japan…
Honestly, I rarely hear about the police here in Japan doing anything too crooked. On the other hand, I hear stories about foreigners being a target of “random questioning,” online. There’s probably a good amount of bias on both sides.
However, even if they weren’t crooked or violent, they’re still—in the end—our government’s lapdogs and I wouldn’t trust them to protect the people over them.
I’ve heard some dodgy stuff about their conviction rates and tendency to stitch people up but I’ve not really read in to it.
Actually, now that you mention it, I have heard of that conviction rate issue, and I sorta have experience with it too.
This is strictly anecdotal (I just learned about the term “anecdata,” lol), so take it with a grain of salt, but I do feel like the prosecutors I work with seem quite concerned about getting the accused to admit to the crime. I think it might be because of the nature of the crime—usually something really stupid like DUI, assault, public nuisance, or trespassing with lots of evidence. I think it has less to do with keeping the conviction rate up than the prosecutor not wanting to waste time and resources handing out prison sentences. First-time offenders tend to get away with lower fines and summary trials if they just tell the truth and admit to their crimes, apparently.
The point of my comment is not to defend the Japanese police. In the end, I don’t trust them just like how I don’t trust any authority.
Ironically despite not being from there I know more about that phenomenon in the American system than that of my own country but I should imagine a similar dynamic is at play here, there, in Japan and everywhere. It takes a great deal of time and money to conduct trials and there’s a lot of pressure to clear backlogs so if you can persuade someone to either admit the crime they really did because there’s overwhelming evidence or simply capitulate even though they actually didn’t do it because the risks if they lose at trial are so high then you manage to help to this end. I’m sure that’s happening in what you’re observing but it sounds like those types of incentives operate everywhere whereas the negative commentary about Happen in particular seemed to be about an unusually high conviction rate which is used as indirect evidence of a lack of fair process so if that’s sticking out even with this phenomenon occurring then it sounds fishy. But again I’m really just repeating rumours.
There have been cases where it seemed that the japanese police, prosecutors and judges where more interested to send the first person to jail they had get a hold of although they knew they were innocent just because the police and courts are always right.
That’s how they got the job.
Nowhere that has hierarchy, and therefore power and wealth held in the hands of a few to pay others to commit violence on their behalf.
But who are the police and the soldiers who protect the capitalists against you, against the people?
If they were capitalists themselves, then it would stand to reason why they want to protect the wealth they have stolen, and why they try to keep up, even by force, the system that gives them the privilege of robbing the people.
But the police and the soldiers, the defenders of ‘law and order’, are not of the capitalist class. They are men from the ranks of the people, poor men who for pay protect the very system that keeps them poor. It is unbelievable, is it not? Yet it is true. It just comes down to this: some of the slaves protect their masters in keeping them and the rest of the people in slavery. In the same way Great Britain, for instance, keeps the Hindoos in India in subjection by a police force of the natives, of the Hindoos themselves. Or as Belgium does with the black men in the Congo. Or as any government does with a subjugated people.
It is the same system.
Here is what it amounts to: Capitalism robs and exploits the whole of the people; the laws legalize and uphold this capitalist robbery; the government uses one part of the people to aid and protect the capitalists in robbing the whole of the people. The entire thing is kept up by educating the people to believe that capitalism is right, that the law is just, and that the government must be obeyed. Do you see through this game now?

Literally fuck all cops everywhere.
I read some dutch news articles on this, and the propaganda is just insane. They all just quote the police spokesperson:
“The woman was pulled after which she fell to the ground”
“The police wanted to act quickly in a dynamic situation”
“The video only shows a part of the story”
“We have to look at the exact order of events”
But the good news: the police is gonna do an internal investigation.
The police is just a legal gang that protects the property rights of the elite.
“We have opened an investigation. Please stop asking questions”
6 months later:
They don’t even bother saying that. The investigations probably never happen to begin with
“The video only shows a part of the story”
Do people really eat up that shit? Even if she was making threats for example, that’s still not an acceptable escalation to throw her onto the floor like that.
The guy was probably used to treating his wife like that when she talks back, classic.
A few months ago there was a video of a Dutch police officer kicking a hijabi woman in the stomach without provocation. The police “investigated” itself and concluded that the violence was justified. There is no accountability for police there.
The video only shows a part of the story”
There is many of those idiots on lemmy in fuckinginsanevideos. It is always used stricly when it is about Palestine

Are the Dutch hiring ICE agents or a football hooligans?
Yes
The guys with the police dogs are always so twitchy and violent. It’s like they absorb their own dog’s attack training.
What the actual fuck? The dude with the dog needs to be brought up in charges, and the rest need to be suspended. That was completely uncalled for.
Just thought he’d cause a fucken miscarriage because a pregnant woman shoo’d away another pig’s grip.
No charges. Baldy needs to be hanged and stoned.
Dog dude is being clearly neglectful, but the others were fine imo, they were in the process of arresting him, and the guy did resist arrest to go punch that cop
Did you not just see a policeman grab and throw his pregnant wife to the ground?
Would you not react to your pregnant wife being assaulted like that!?
Yeah… the cop was being too agressive and pulled her to the ground…
Does that give you the right to go punch him? Are we fighting for womens honor again? She wasn’t in any danger was she? Or was the cop going to sic the dog on her?
Pregnant woman thrown to ground:
She wasn’t in any danger was she?
The kind of goldfish brained, unhinged realities people live in…
Does that give you the right to go punch him?
Yes.
She wasn’t in any danger was she?
She was.
Once violence is escalated different reactions need to be expected and countered appropriately to de-escalate. Its not defending womens honour, there are two highly unequal groups interacting here, which exposes the weak group (the couple) to greater risk of duress.
The cop escalated unpredictably and violently with little the others doing in the moments between to reduce that threat. The other implicitly gave their acceptance of this new level of violence and unpredictability in those fractional moments. Due to the disparity in power between the cops and the couple that escalation and those few moments become extremely dangerous.
The situation would have been very different if one of the other cops had checked the dog guy and told him to take a walk down the hall a few paces. Breaking that momentary rush of blood to the head is often all thats needed to halt severe forms of violence occuring.
Neglectful? Either you don’t know what the word means or you are a 🐖🚓 I go for the second one.
He was totally in the right to pull her away, she should have been removed from that situation before the guy even started filming. That should be obvious to any reasonable person.
But the guy was wayyy to aggressive and threw/tripped her (neglecting her safety)
This was intentional escalation. That is NOT how you police. The guy put himself and his team in an unnecessarily dangerous situation.
Yeah, I agree, the cop was way out of line with how he handled her
WE FOUND THE HOG. OIK OIK 🐽 pathetic
Bro who talks like this? Either you’re still a child, then go off, be as cringe as you want. But otherwise, you just sound a bit mentally impaired 😬
Can you only call people pigs when they push back? 🪱
Minimizing police brutality is a bad look bro
What the dog cop did was uncalled for, I have said it before. There’s not really much else to say than dog guy too agressive
You just justified police using violence on a pregnant woman. There is no need to dance around words like “mentally impaired”, you can use retarded. You already reached the bottom of humanity anyway.
Don’t be so dramatic, I said that he should have removed her from the situation, not that he should have suplexed her across the hall
