I think because we all made the presumption that obvious police abuses would be punished once we had video evidence.

We didn't take into consideration the justice system's complete lack of appetite at holding officers responsible for egregious violations of life, civil liberties, and property rights.

It's not only no appetite, but in many cases, no legal culpability.

Qualified immunity being a major element of that, at least in civil law.
