They have always acted this way. The reason you see it more now on video is because we all have high res cameras in our pockets.

Cops have acted this way as long as their have been cops in this country.

It wasn’t after 9/11 that this started. But after 9/11 smartphones started to become prolific enough to capture their behavior

People have this idea that modern times shed all of the disgusting shit from the past and exist in this brught new future. We don't, the sky is black and the stars have only barely begun to shine through. We do not exist in the bright future yet, we are still usurping the dark past.
