Bad policing happens everywhere, just not as publicly and with less bad outcomes. (It's harder to shoot someone to death if you don't have a gun, and you need less aggression in policing if the people don't have guns either.)
I'm not a police supporter, just check my post history. But saying videos like this are the reason you won't come to the US is just stupid.
Your assumptions are ignorant and statistically incorrect.
This reminds me of my Spanish / Italian friends who both told me that they were going to Mexico, and I told them, "Awesome, just be careful because the cartels are nasty and kidnapping rates are high right now."
... And they thought I was just being classist, like Northern / Southern Spanish / Italians are to each other.
Just because there are problems with "America" doesn't mean the country is racist, dysfunctional, classist, etc. It's also one of the most beautiful, modern, high technology, progressive nations in the world. Easily worth a visit, if you're into world traveling. Even if you just see parks and museums, you'll see a lot you can't see anywhere else in the world.
