Bogota’s already criticized police department got embarrassed further on Wednesday when a video leaked of police recruits brutally fighting and apparently tasering each other.

The video was released on the Facebook page of Mi Bogota, a social media platform from Colombia’s capital.

In the video, a pair of recruits is seen fighting each other while being cheered by a group of approximately ten colleagues.

At one point, one of the rookies kicks his rival in the head after which other recruits get involved and a brawl breaks out.

The policemen quickly disperse after a woman, or “bitch” according to one the aspiring officers, is heard calling them out on their behavior.

Mal, muy mal muchachos, si tienen algun problama que arreglar, y creen que solamente la pueden resolver por la fuerza bruta, háganlo sin el uniforme y fuera de horas de trabajo.pd: Algo más, no se toquen la cabeza; en la riña se ve claramente como uno de los peleadores patea al otro en esa parte del cuerpo. Una lesión debida a un golpe de esa magnitud, facilmente puede llevar a la muerte
