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
