In that case I can't think of time my country hasn't been a regime I guess. Police have pretty much always been executing people in the streets without repercussions. Although there has been a small amount of progress recently, these days they do it on camera and still face zero repercussions much of the time.

Yup, and the people calling it out all this time were consistently shrugged off as being hyperbolic. Still are. Always will be.
