What the officers did in both the original and comment article I would deem criminal abuse of power. Thankfully I believe police in America are have become more keen as of late on the whole not acting like an outlaw gang; with the rise of police accountability, police being charged/convicted/sentenced, and departments paying massive sums for poorly trained wayward officers.

The speed/level of abuse of force stories has dropped substantially in the past 6 months; I suspect it's not because the people becoming quieter.

Should anyone here serve on a jury panel in America, do not forget you can vote not guilty if you believe the officers acted improperly or the punishment of trial/detention/seizure far outweighs the original non-crime. Jury nullification is a strong force of good which legally cannot be brought up in the courtroom itself, but is important for cases like these.

This isn't really true.
