Yeah, the odds that the one person they brutalized happened to be another cop isn’t very likely. (Although perhaps, ironically, the fact that he was totally compliant and didn’t resist at all may have made things worse for him.)
More broadly, incidents like this again raise the question of how often cops attack people like this, only we never hear about it because even their most feeble cover-ups are unquestioningly accepted. Cops must routinely send these kinds of hideous messages about premeditated mayhem to each other - and then follow it up with actual assault and murder - as every so often we hear about another incident from police departments around the country uncovered only because they attacked the wrong person and/or were caught on camera.
