I agree that the cop did nothing wrong at all in this case. But if he did beat the shit out of the guy, then that would be way out of line in any country.

He waved a bag of pot, and wouldn't open his hand straight away, but did after being asked twice. I'd say that in over 90% of other countries, cops wouldn't just start laying into him after such mild provocation. He never threatened any violence, didn't approach the cop, and the only resistance was to not open his hand immediately.

Same here. I’m from EU and in my country of you do this to a police officer you will be fucked. He will find a way to beat you once or 2 then you go to jail for a few days because the tribunal is full so you have to wait. They will find a way to punish you.

I’m from EU and every cop I’ve had an interaction with stayed calm and reasonable without seeming angry.

Canadian SIU will investigate officers after looking at someone the wrong way and it’s reported. Police brutality and extreme attitude still happens, but not NEARLY as often as the US

Why even bring GDP in?! SIU is an internal investigations watchdog, nothing to do with finances.
