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 (Some Occasions Whites, Asians and immigrants) killed by American police officers, such as Michael Brown, 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.
Nigeria
In Nigeria, most incidents of police brutality are perpetrated by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, or SARS. Nigerians have shared both stories and video evidence of how members of SARS engaged in kidnapping, murder, theft, rape, torture, unlawful arrests, humiliation, unlawful detention, extrajudicial killings, and extortion in Nigeria. SARS officers have been alleged to profile youths based on fashion choices, mount illegal road blocks and searches, conduct unwarranted temperature checks, arrest without warrant, rape women, and extort young Nigerians for driving exotic vehicles and using iPhones. The unit was disbanded in October 2020 following mass demonstrations.
