Police are the law keepers of the society.
Their job is to keep the situation under control, to catch the culprit and control violence
but their job is not to punish.
They are not the authority that decides which person deserves to be killed or punished.
The police force is accountable under the law and constitution and they too cannot take
the law in their own hands.
Yet there are cases all over the world where police has been known to step beyond their
traditional role.
Some forces have occasionally put a toe across the line but others have gone many steps across
the line.
Here we listed ten countries with worst police brutality.
The police force was formed for the first time by a Muslim Caliph names Umar al- Khattab
(R.A).
It was then known as "ash-shurta" and was headed by a Head of Department much like
the Highest Inspector nowadays.
Its role was peace-keeping but with time, the growing population and the changing human
psyche and its dynamics pushed police away from their basic role.
Now police is used as a brutal force to control brutality.
Though it is quite ironic, police is also very important.
Below are ten countries with the highest brutality rate in the world.
Sorry to break your surprise but United States of America tops the list.
Although, the country has world's best police force!
Surprised?

Brazil
Brazil Police Force Brutality Brazil was in the news a few months ago because
of the Olympics hosted in Rio de Janeiro.
It was also covered because of the high instances of worst police brutality in the country.
It is very common for the police to kill people when they are trying to control mobs and illegal
land occupations.
They have a free ticket from the government to control the situation as they want to.
It is also not uncommon for police to plant evidence in order to frame someone that they
think is not good for the society.
There have also been racial and black men killings in the process.
Nearly all the deaths that are reported are deemed self-defence.
The problem is that police is trying to control brutality with brutality so the gang war does
not seem to abate.

Afghanistan
Afghanistan Police Force A video not long ago, showed a person with
suicide bombing intentions, suspected of being Taliban, being dragged along the road with
one end of the rope tying his hands to his back and the other attached to a car.
Happening in the region of Kandahar, the spokesperson shunned away any prospects of mishandling
by calling the video fake and saying that such things happen in their region.
However, the area this happened in comes under General Abdul Raziq who has a history of manhandling
people and prisoners.
Many alleged culprits are beaten and bitten before going to trial in Afghanistan.
In order to deal with the Taliban, they see all these measures fit.
8.
Iran
Iran police brutality Taking a look at the Ashura protests of 2009
will give you an idea of the level of police brutality in Iran.
The police and authorities report of 36 deaths but the protesters claim that the figure is
much higher.
The Ashura is a commemoration of a day of injustice in Islamic history.
It is a day where Shiite Muslims owe to end violence and injustice but the police use
brutal measures against people in processions on the Ashura.
They were shelled, hit and fired upon.
The same happened in the protests against the elections in Iran.
This is why there was general outrage in the country when it hosted a conference against
racial killings of black men in USA.
People took it as ironic.
7.
Haiti
Haiti Police Police brutality in Haiti is also common.
It can be assessed from the way the government proceeded to convert the island of Ile a Vache
into a tourist attraction.
Instead of following proper procedures of acquisition, evacuation and development- bulldozers
simply tore down homes and the police brutally dealt with anyone stepping beyond a certain
line in the name of protests.
People were beaten indiscriminately as even pastors and women were not spared.
The police chief in charge of the area was replaced with a stricter one in order to deal
with people protesting against the government.
It is quite sad to see that the money is taken by taxpayers to feed the police and the same
cost centre is then used to pressurize people illegally.
Although this will appear to be one side of the story to our readers, there is sufficient
evidence collected by human rights activists about these protests in Haiti.
6.
Kenya
Kenya police brutality Kenya is an African country with prevalent
problems and widespread corruption.
People took to the streets in 2016 against the government and its corruption.
But, they were dealt with severe resistance and punishment by the law keepers.
Protesting crowds were hit with clubs and sticks.
They were chased down the streets and the police resorted to all gruesome measures to
disperse the gathering crowd.
Journalists told anecdotes of how the police treated people like they were bales of cotton.
No wonder the people want a change.

Russia
Russia police brutality Killings in police custody and violence by
the police in Russia is so common that it is hardly reported.
People are prone to the police taking any measures to reinstate their authority and
power.
One most recent famous case is of the moderately successful band of the 1970s' drummer Sergei
Pestov who was arrested from his own garage for alleged possession of drugs.
His wife had to identify his lifeless body the next day.
And, even though the police claimed that they had released him the previous night, human
rights activists think otherwise.
4.
Somalia
Somali police force The Somali police force like the country itself
is in abysmal state- torn by civil war.
Over 1000 German trained police officers reportedly disappeared and have allegedly joined an Islamist
militia in 2009.
The force is underpaid and resorts to illegal measures to increase their income.
Rampage of private property and coercion of citizens for bribe is common in the country.
Also there have been reports of the police turning away from crime and supporting injustice
in return for financial bribes.
Attempts have been made to improve the state but hitherto there has not been much success.
3.
Egypt
Egyptian Police Brutality It was claimed by a CIA officer in 2004 that
if a man was wanted to be seen disappeared from this planet then he must be sent to Egypt.
Situation has worsened after the Arab Spring as the current regime is of the opinion that
the ousted Mubarak's leniency was the reason for his dismissal, therefore they plan to
be otherwise.
According to the Nadeem Centre, 600 local tortures were reported in 2015 along with
40,000 arrests, 1265 disappearances and 267 killings.
Much of this was done to support the aftermath of the military coup in Sissi's favour.
2.
South Africa – World Capital of Police Brutality
World Capital of Police Brutality Figures suggest that the number of people
killed by the police in South Africa increases every year.
If all civil liability suits against the police were upheld, the government's budget would
be consumed in the court alone.
As the figures regarding torture by the police and rapes by uniformed policemen are exceeding
every year, reports suggest.
In 2016 alone, there were 244 deaths and 124 rapes by uniformed policemen.
It is upsetting to see the protectors becoming the vultures.
145 cases of police torture were also reported in the same year.
1.
USA
worst police brutality Shocking as it may seem but the USA tops our
list as the country with the most brutal police force particularly after 9/11.
The aftermath of the beginning of this war against terrorism, gave the police in the
country immunity against legal and civil rights of people (unconstitutionally in few cases).
Recently, there have been many killings because the police "doubted" criminal activity.
Innocent people are killed or executed after biased trial because the police shows impunity
with respect to civil rights when it comes to their fight against terrorism.
Most killings involve black men.
The names of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and Gregory Gunn are notable when it comes
to police killings.
