There are hundreds of millions of citizens, and hundreds of thousands of police.

If police weren't a problem, we wouldn't be hearing of all of these cases of abuse. How many cases have you heard about where vedios have been taken of abuse? If this were rare, how, many would you expect to see? What are the chances of someone recording a rare event? I would suggest close to zero...
