You're trained in the law. Of the many people who are doubtless outraged over this, you're among those best informed about the options the law provides for challenging what happened and holding the authorities accountable.
You're right; what you're describing is unacceptable. But if it's going to stop, people need to take formal action to protest and demonstrate that they will not accept it. If this sounds like a challenge...well, it is. Many of the police who weren't directly involved probably saw it, thought it wasn't right, maybe told their friends how wrong it was or posted about it on their blogs somewhere...but didn't DO anything.
From everything you've said, you obviously want to do better than that.

So, what are you going to do?
