This same shit was happening 10 years ago, but back then you couldn't watch it moments after on the internet.

Human nature hasn't changed dude, it's how much access we have to being able to view it that has.

Remember how much scrutiny the Rodney King beating brought? That was a wake up call in the early 90's. Now anybody and everybody not only has the capability to make such a video with their phone, but they can also have it worldwide in as much time as it takes to download said video to YouTube.

Human nature hasn't changed one bit, our access to viewing it has.

We didn't make a quantum leap into savagery, we can now just all watch what we have denied exists within our own culture and has existed for years.
