The problem is that all too often cops, specially street cops, are only cops because they want power over people, and that breeds what you see in many of these videos.
I had a friend was a city of atlanta cops and he told me some very sobering facts,

like:

He used to pinch drugs dealers, take their drugs and money, if he got a problem stop, a guy was "being smart" he would toss the drugs in his car, then have a K9 unit come do a drug check, viola...instant bust. and who is going to believe the guy who says the cop must have planted those drugs in my car.

as for the lie detector tests they took he said the first thing every cop learns is how to beat it by flexing and relaxing the spincter muscle during questioning.

As Neitzche pointed out "He who fights monsters must take care that he does not become a monster. When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you."
