Police brutality is a sign of the Hour

Abu Huraira reported:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: “If you survive for a time you would certainly see people who would have whips in their hands like the tail of an ox. They would go out in the morning under the wrath of Allah and they would return in the evening with the anger of Allah.”

[Sahih Muslim 2857]


Al-Hafiz An-Nawwawi (d.676H/1277) said:

“They are those appointed as the police.”

[Sharh Muslim of Nawwawi 17/277]

He also said, “This is referring to the oppressive police officers.”

[Al-Bahr al-Muhit al-Thajjaj fi Sharh Sahih al-Imam Muslim 43/780]


Shaykh Muhammad b.Saalih Uthaymeen (d.1421H/2001) commented on this Hadith saying,

“[These are] the oppressive police officers who beat the people without justification. They are from the dwellers of Hell because whoever aids an oppressor shall receive a portion of their sin that he deserves.
 
Oppressive police ain't new
they are nothing new, but they were touchable before. In history, we understand that police were miltia for the rich. The difference now, is that they are a special group of their own.

The day urban cities became the norm world wide, is the day this hadith became a fact.
