The 2020 protests show that cops do big oopsie when they think nobody is watching.

This is a compilation of those "oopsis" to help with research efforts on a project I am working on.

Here's a Google Sheets document that is being updated more.

@greg_doucette on Twitter did an amazing job of cataloging a lot of content.

  1. Des Moines, IA: police use pepper-spray in an elevator on apartment residents trying to go home, including on one woman carrying a baby
  2. Kalamazoo, MI: protestors lay on the ground, so cops start shooting teargas canisters at their heads for sport
  3. Columbus, OH: more police destroying private property without due process
  4. San Diego, CA: peaceful protest – downright festive really – interrupted by tear gas and bullets
  5. Boston, MA: cop destroying private property without due process
  6. Cincinnati, OH: the casual banality of evil
  7. Multiple: mashup of several videos at once, locations are at the bottom of each panel
  8. Originally I thought police were just shooting and it happened the 16yo boy got hit. Turns out the Austin cops deliberately sniper-shot him in the head with nobody else around him.
  9. Walnut Creek, CA: cops casually threatening to murder citizens 👮🏼‍♂️: "IF YOU DO NOT MOVE, YOU WILL BE DEAD."
  10. Note the person on a motorized scooter getting caught in a cloud of gas
  11. Seattle, WA: another night of indiscriminate flash-bang and teargas use on peaceful protestors
  12. San Jose, CA: cop casually hitting a guy with his motorcycle and sending him to asphalt as 3 more cops pile on
  13. Portland, OR: casual war-zoning as police shoot into a crowd for fun
  14. Portland, OR: cops defacing private property with spray paint
  15. New York City, NY: asked this before, but how many NYPD cops does it take to beat a woman? Bicyclist abruptly arrested without cause, as at least two cops beat her for sport
  16. Washington, DC: police leaving unexploded ordnance laying around. This one is a Stinger (not flash-bang): it's a glorified IED that shoots rubber bullets
  17. Los Angeles, CA: protestors shot in the head at 3rd & Fairfax by the Grove. Per the journalist who got the video, police shot first, *then* gave order to disperse
  18. Portland, OR: indiscriminate teargas and flash-bang grenade use
  19. Los Angeles, CA: at least 6 cops destroy a car, breaking out its windows to drag out the occupants
  20. Wilmington, NC: police kneel "in solidarity"...so protestors will get closer...for the police to shoot them.
  21. Washington, DC: cops pepper-spray a CNN crew as they're broadcasting live on-air
  22. Los Angeles, CA: police doing casual drive-by shootings from the comfort of their SUV
  23. Seattle, WA: police pre-beatings huddle. 👮🏼‍♂️: "Don't kill 'em. But hit 'em HARD!"
  24. Austin, TX: police shoot a 16-year-old boy in the head and leave him for dead on the side of the road
  25. Dallas, TX: police shoot out the left eye of 25yo Brandon Saenz

  32. Orlando, FL: you see a protestor in gray hoodie walking away with his hands up. A cop rushes into the crowd to grab him so some officers can beat him for sport, then other officers indiscriminately pepper-spray everyone else
  33. San Diego, CA: One set of cops kettle protestors toward another set of cops, so the second set of cops can shoot them
  34. Seattle, WA: not a brutality video, but instead showing the scale of the protestors. *Years* of data – decades likely – have repeatedly proven that crackdowns radicalize people and lead to more protestors

  43. Police casually aiming their guns at kids recording on their phones from the roof.
  44. Washington, DC: no identifiable insignia, so people don't know who to sue when they get brutalized
