An act of police brutality in progress.

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

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 and Tou.

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

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.

Notable villains who have committed this act

• Derek Chauvin
• Tou Thao
• Carlos Alarcón
