It was so lucky the victim(s) had video evidence.

“I was afraid. I thought it was my last day … I kept saying, ‘I haven’t done anything’, and they kept shouting for me to get down on the ground.”
Once outside, police officers continued to beat Michel and the others.
“Suddenly someone shouted, ‘camera, camera’. It was someone filming from a window.
As soon as the police heard this they stopped hitting us,” said one of the victims.Michel was taken to the nearby police station and accused of insulting police and attempting to grab one of their guns.
Unknown to the officers, however, a camera inside the producer’s studio had captured the officers’ actions. Michel was held in custody for 48 hours then released without charge. The three officers are now being investigated for allegations of “violence by a public agent” and “making false statements”.

Lying police officers.
Who coulda guessed that police officers could lie ?
Yet another incident/example of why we [citizens, within Western nations] can not trust political/government authority - unless ALL processes of political/government authority are willing to be completely open to scrutiny [scrutiny, of their actions and true intents] by fully [credibly] independent observers.

Exodus 12:49
One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
