Cuban communist dissidents have been very adept at sending short videos of Cubans being beaten on the streets by the Castro police. They appear regularly. It is often Afro-Cubans, so despised by the white Castros, who are beaten by the Castro police. One video a few weeks ago showed a man being beaten by police for not having his ID on him. In this most recent one, released through Twitter, a lady is slugged by police for yelling, "Down with Castro." She has my sympathy. She probably is illiterate, owns only the clothes on her back, has not eaten for day or so and is exhausted from dealing with the perpetual shortages of everything, even toilet paper on an income limited by the Castros to around $20 per month.
Of course, shortages of toilet paper and other goods do not affect tourists, but don't expect all areas of the tourist sector to be that nice.
You might not want to watch this is you dislike seeing small women being beaten by police:
