~~Some police officers, prison guards, and government agents are known to beat up criminals unlawfully. This is known as~~ '''~~police~~ brutality'''.

'''Police brutality''' is a term used to describe law enforcement officers, usually police, brutalising suspects and civilians. It usually takes the form of officers using excessive force while arresting suspects, such as beating them or using unlawful methods of restraint, but can escalate to [[torture]] or [[murder]] on occasion.

~~Most likely, the motive behind this~~ is ~~not that they hate or have something against the condemned~~, ~~but because they wanted to~~ have ~~fun 'experimenting' on how people reacts~~ to ~~pain~~. ~~They get away with their crimes because~~ they~~'re cops~~ (~~which is Common to Rare Occasions) but sometimes backfired resulting them getting caught Like~~ [[~~Derek Chauvin|Derek~~]] and [[~~Tou Thao|Tou~~]].

Prosecution for police brutality is rare, as police departments and police unions have been known to protect officers who abuse their powers. Even if an officer is disciplined it is more likely that they will be sacked than prosecuted (although some prosecutions have occurred, most famously in the cases of [[Stacey Koon]] and [[Derek Chauvin]]).

~~Also~~, ~~when they are [[Torture|torturing]] a criminal, they cover~~ the ~~close circuit television (CCTV) with tape~~, ~~so that their unlawful actions won't be captured~~.

In several Western countries, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, there is a clear link between police brutality and race. Black and minority people are more likely to be victims of police brutality than white people. However, unsurprisingly this is less of an issue in most white minority countries.

~~This ensures that they would still~~ be ~~trusted by their more lawful superiors, which makes them a massive hypocrite.~~

~~The common punishments~~ of ~~Police Brutality is that the~~ police ~~officer(s) will be permanently fired from their job~~, in ~~rare Occasions they get arrested and sent to prison~~.
