Video from 2017 shows a Canadian officer face-slam a 26-year-old black woman into the ground for no reason. She was hospitalized.
The officer was given a year off, with pay, and then brought back to the department in an administrative capacity. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-police-alex-dunn-assault-trial-video-1.5777524?fbclid=IwAR1SWD9vu04P-XCKa_YtwncjZEO72fbRUl2vcfoxN42VJozIcKpf3CIvLwA

There are just an absolute ocean of these kinds of videos. Here's a Jacksonville, Florida cop punching a handcuffed woman.
Here's a Georgia police officer who got, thankfully, fired for kicking a handcuffed man in the head. It's really more of a stomp than a kick.
Here's a Caldwell, Texas officer throwing a handcuffed man into the wall of a jail cell and then saying, "You fell."
Here's a Vermont officer who kicks a handcuffed woman in the chest for the crime of kicking a door. You couldn't ask for a better visual encapsulation of the idea that aggression towards property = violence towards humans.
