Abstract

Over time statistic has shown that police brutality is at a high percentage in America. Police are abuse there authorities because they fell that they are the law. They are still humans and civilians without the badge and blur suite. The forces that is used by police officers are excessive and uncalled for.  Let’s look at some of the victim that has lost their life because of police brutality. Take Oscar Grant who is an African American male that was shot lying face down on his back. Shot by a New York officer in 2009. In 2016 there has been at least 3-6 cases of police brutality reported. We have not seen anyone prosecuted for these murders nor have we seen anyone being held accountable for them.  

        Introduction

        Police officers at some point were called peace keepers and peace makers. In today’s society they are called just law enforcement officers. One of the biggest issues that is arising in the United States today is police brutality. Nearly every day the new air there is another case of police brutality. This has become an issue for the United States. Police brutality has become the destruction of the communities trust.  Many of the victims are poor people and of color. Police brutality is not from larger cities, it has become a national problem.

        Today the world has been impacted by police brutality against African American society. As we have seen on the news every single day. We do understand that they have been train to kill or die. In my opinion they can approach their victims and have a dialog instead of going directly to kill them. I’m a believer that all lives matter.

 Everyone should be treated the same, yes every situation is different but there are many ways to handle these situation.  Excessive force should not be the first option in any of these situation.

“Such excessive force by police in particularly disturbing given its disproportionate impact on people of color.”

        The main problem with police brutality is the physical abuse. I think that there should be a method for controlling police brutality. “The most notable racial profiling occurs with the younger African Americans and Hispanics in highly urbanized areas.” It is very necessary to involve superior officers so that the tolerance of the officer is under control. Police brutality has took a turned for the worst. Racial profiling should be against the law. The killings from police office are unjustified.  Many of the killings are not even reported.  Racial profiling is more common form of police brutality.
