Show me a bunch of videos that show the good cops stepping in to protect the victims of the bad cops, and I might believe it.

What we actually see, whenever we see video of cops abusing people, is that the other cops on the scene do nothing whatsoever to stop their colleagues and help the victims. Most of the time, they're actively participating in the abuse themselves.
