I watched close to 100 of them last night from Greg's thread, I saw very few "minor" ones like your #2, most involve people being shot / struck by batons, cars, gang tackled and beaten by multiple people ...
I'd put the ratio at something like 85/15.
Most of them are individual or small group acts that are completely unacceptable, fire them immediately sort of things (indiscriminately pepper spraying non-protestors walking down a public street, firing a tear gas canister into a person just standing around's chest, an insane amount of gang tackling, pummeling, and neck kneeling given the context of the protests)
Some are insidious but not necessarily criminal, just groups being tear gassed, military style shows of force, etc.
A small but real minority of vidsos are what I'd call products of anti police bias, ambiguous context, or (at least imo) felt out of context.
But also "verbally harassment" of police is largely Constitutionally protected, but yes, tons of videos of people being arrested, often violently, simply for using words.
As a whole, Greg's thread is terrifying. Our police training here is piss poor.
There was a video, I think from LA, where some protesters on one side of the road yelled at rit police on the other side of the road. Usually, not a big deal. And then a couple of officers decided to pull out a guy from the group, who happened to be black, pull him to the ground, beat him with batons. Pepper spaying a woman next to him. All while being filmed. In June 2020.
Despite being disgusting, unwarranted, racist and unacceptable, the sheer amount of stupidity, ignorance and arrogance this shows is just mindboggling. And makes that totally inentional.
