Do I want to watch that?

Only if you want to see a bunch of crimes.

It's also slightly interesting how 4 or so men putting all their weight on a person might break ribs and other bones considering how often we see the paramilitary arrest and then abduct people like this.

To me it's more than slightly interesting how the fundamental principle of "innocent until proven guilty" has been so thoroughly abandoned (because that's what it takes, IMO, for people to accept such violent police tactics).
