Evidently, police brutality is running the media lately, this is not so secretive but rather painful to hear. “Michael Brown’s murder represents the tip of a body pile... several videos have emerged of police assaulting people... for reasons justifiable only to the insane.” He alludes to one of the biggest police brutality murder cases in the country and continues by bringing up other brutality cases similar to that; the heroes who need to protect everyone as their legal job, are the ones hurting those in need.

Terry Novak, the city manager at the time, wanted someone outside of the agency to initiate change, beings how Spokane’s officers were complacent with their duties and objectives.

Officers and detectives make mistakes, but in the case of Calvin Buari, it cost him 22 years of his life. There are a multitude of different types of mistakes an officer can make, but the ones shown in the podcast were mistakes of the heart– which occur when an officer makes a decision knowing at the time they take the action that it is wrong (“Police Errors Are Opportunities to Build Trust.”). So in order to prevent these types of mistakes, officers need to understand what is expected of them with clear expectations and reinforcement. Police mistakes are the reason why community-police relationships are very strained at times.

In a viewpoint by Nicole Flatow titled “History Indicates Varied Results in Improving Police Brutality in America,” She believes that there has been little reforms regarding police brutality. Nicole argues for years, America has barely made any effort on improving the use of force by police officers. For example, victims such as Rodney King and Amadou Diallo, led to some reforms, but did not solve the violence of police brutality.

One of the more charged debates at this time in Minnesota is the actions of Police officers. In the past couple of years, Minnesota police have made headlines in incidents such as the deaths of Jamar Clark, Philando Castile, and most recently, Justine Damond.
