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.
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.
Signs of police brutality and how to prevent police brutality
Examples of police brutality in countries:
United States
There have been many cases of police brutality in US history, most against African American citizens, immigrants, or protesters at protests. During the mid-50s and early 70s, there was an FBI program called COINTELPRO, which served for the repression and espionage of African-American, communist, feminist organizations or simply dissidents to the government. Even today there are many cases of African American civilians killed by American police officers, such as Rodney King, Tamir Rice, Jacob Blake, Rayshard Brooks, Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain and George Floyd.
Chile
In Chile, the "Carabineros de Chile" (the name given to the police in Chile), have been involved in many cases of police brutality. During the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship, Carabineros de Chile was involved in many events of violation of human rights. Already in current times, Carabineros de Chile has been accused of committing multiple abuses of power against the indigenous people of the Mapuches in the region of La Araucanía, and they were also accused of human rights violations during the protests in Chile between 2019 and 2020.
