I know there are many good cops in the world , so this is no attack on the police in general. Years ago I got badly beaten up by many French policemen in Cannes after I asked them in a friendly way what happened when somebody crashed into my parked car. My question got on their nerves and they started beating me up! So this video of American police forcing a man who just broke up a fight and is restrained to put handcuffs and (and choked to death) brings back memories. The french police also forced their handcuffs on me, and still kept hitting me , even when I was on the ground with the handcuffs on, locked me up for a night and forced me to to a false confession in which they made me sign a piece in which was stated that I insulted them and resisted arrest. On the other hand: I hardly ever had problems with the French police playing amplified music on the streets in France (besides Paris). The police in France are quite friendly with this issue & even pass by to ask request tunes of Johnny Hallyday Officiel !:) Here in Holland its in most places forbidden to play with an amp, no matter how small. In some places you can apply for a permission, which allows you to play a couple of hours every week.
