What do you think of this? (Political catastrophe)

I was searching for news all over the world when I noticed this: http://twitchy.com/2013/02/01/shocking-video-egyptian-police-beat-and-strip-protester-in-cairo/

Read the tweets. Scroll down and watch the videos. Apparently the police force is beating up a naked man and dragging him on the ground. This is sort of linked to this previous situation according to the tweets: http://www.npr.org/blogs/pictureshow/2011/12/21/144098384/the-girl-in-the-blue-bra
Simply disgusting.
This is complete inhumanity, nothing a person ever does deserves this pain, humiliation, and cruelty.
What are your views on this??

The police force need to respect their people if they expect any respect in return, you don’t just drag a human like a piece of meat. You can reinforce the ‘law’ in a different more humane way. I mean, how do we as a ‘species’ differ from animals right now? We create laws for a reason, but this?
I’m also going to link this to my previous question regarding nonconformism; situations like these make me realize why it’s better to not conform to anything but what you see fit. In the end it doesn’t really matter.

What does the country as a whole think it’s doing?? This isn’t progress from how I see it. They’re putting themselves in an even more dire situation.
It’s horrible.

Anyway I’m assuming chunks of this question might not make sense, but that doesn’t matter because I’d like to know your views on this situation.

Do you think stuff like that happens all over the world? Does it simply go unnoticed?
