The Egyptian military in this video are more universally and lethally violent than most of the cops here are, but their actions are striking in their resemblance, especially the way a horde of them gang up on individuals on the ground and beat them repeatedly with their sticks, the way the cops here beat the protesters with their batons.
I don't think it would take much to persuade a lot of the cops here to amp up their brutality to this level. What they are doing already differs primarily in degree rather than in kind.
