Not exactly "things to come" - they were the same when I first arrived in Cyprus in 1960.

OK I should have said things to come back to the north....

It would appear from many forums/sources that police brutality and abuse of power is an international phenomenon/issue and will need to be addressed if public acceptance and trust in those charged with the enforcement of law is to be restored.

I absolutely agree.... anyone who applies for a job as a policeman should undergo rigorous psychometric assessment as a matter of course too.....

about 3years ago inthe North a suspected child rapist was questioned and ended up with a police baton being" forced up him" there wasn't to many complaints about that at the time .

The 2 officers in question on the you tube video have rightly been arrested and charged.

They may well have been. However, the many others involved in this abuse of power, throughout the world and the others involved in this specific case, have not and that is a real concern.

Surely what must be a concern is also that these policemen were employed at all - they are obviously too moronic to commit their crimes off-camera - and don't tell me they didn't know the cameras were there... that just makes them look even more foolish.

Why the prisoner is not taking his case to the ECHR for massive compensation I don't know - bad lawyers I guess...

... that just makes them look even more foolish....

Perhaps not so much "more foolish" as "more arrogant" - "We are the law, and therefore above the law...." - there have always been (and will be) individuals and groups even in police forces that will even go to murder - consider for example the Esquadrão da Morte in Brazil in the late 1960's....
