It's like the 1968 Police Riot at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago...but nationwide.
There was a great quote in Norman Mailer's "The Siege of Chicago", where he talks about the deep existential fear of the day when the police are totally unleashed to run roughshod over the whole populace.

Wish I could find that quote now.
Here are a bunch more videos of our nationwide Police Riot.

Found it.

Read this.
"For the police to take over society....not as a force of law and order, not even as a force of repression upon civil disorder, but as a true criminal force, chaotic, improvisational, undisciplined, and finally -- sufficiently aroused -- uncontrollable."
"The more there was disorder in the future, the more there would be need for larger numbers of police and more the need to indulge them. Once indulged, however, it might not take long for their own criminality to dominate their relation to society."
"Which spoke then of martial law to replace [the police]. But if the Army became the punitive force of society, then the Pentagon would become the only meaningful authority in the land."
