Assurance in equal justice remains as an overwhelming political principle of American culture. Yet withstanding unbelief exists among numerous racial and ethnic minorities. Their doubt comes as no surprise, given a past filled with differential treatment in the arrangement of criminal equity, an issue particularly clear in police misconduct. Researchers have investigated police responses to racial and ethnic minorities for quite some time, offering sufficient confirmation of minority burden on account of police. These examinations raise doubt about different police techniques of coercive control, maybe none more so than police brutality.
Humans are programmed to create communities, and communities create institutions. Unfortunately, our American institutions are failing to adapt to the ever-changing world. The ‘community” of America continues to change every minute of every day and American institutions, not only remain the same, but are falling behind. Many institutions in America have failed, but are utilized still.
Today, Detroit is nothing like the past. Police brutality is nothing like it is in other cities. We learned that the police work to try to connect with the people they are protecting,
Gun Violence and police brutality is making it very challenging for young black men to escape poverty and violence which is leading to the downfall of black men. Police brutality is the use of excessive force by police when dealing with civilians. Most cases arise from cops who can't control their emotions in the face of insults (NewsOne Staff, 2010).This may seem as an issue of the past but it's still going on today, Last summer Sandra Bland was found hanging in her jail cell, nine people were killed in a charleston church, Freddie gray death while in police custody, Laquan Mcdonald who was shot 16 times by cops. People are still being targeted based on their physical appearance and what they wear. In Order to move forward as a society one
Police brutality on African-American’s is violent and harmful. In our society today many police are unfairly treating African American people. There is a lot of evidence and statistics here that can help me prove what I 'm saying is the truth. Police brutality on African Americans is a terrible social injustice that must end.
People were outraged, but for very different reasons. To me, it seemed simple, Michael Brown was too young to die for suspected petty theft. I didn’t originally see the shooting as a race issue, but when the majority of news sites
There are good police officers who still believe in what is right. But the ones who do take the lives of innocent victims and disobey their code of conduct makes other police officers who do, do their job look bad. Those police officers who goes against their conduct make other police officers look bad especially white officers who have no intention of killing someone over that person's race. Many people use to look up to the police and view them as perfect role models who follows the law and always do the right thing but now many of those who use to look up to officers now fear them and take caution with every move they make because they fear for their lives. And that problem is not okay because citizens should not fear law enforcement because their race is not white.

As of November 29, 2015, 1,077 citizens have been killed by a United States’ police. That is equivalent to at least one death every eight hours. Do you feel protected?
How long will we continue to reject the fact that it is racism that fuels police brutality in the United States? Racism has been a topic of in the media each day in the country. Police brutality is happening everywhere and has become more commonplace with the increase of racist police officers who are a part of a corrupt system that targets the African-American male population. Police are not killing blacks because the crimes they commit are threatening, but because of the color of their skin and the way they look. Whites are rarely killed because they appear to be innocent to the police.
Police violence on African American males in the U.S. has only seemed to have increased in the past years in this country and researchers wanted to see the type of impact it has had in these African American communities. The study mainly focused on the beating of Frank Jude in the Milwaukee area but also analyzed the impact of three other beatings and how phone calls to 911 were affected. If calls to 911 are suppressed because of these shootings in these communities then it is putting the entire public in danger. Throughout this paper I will being going over many different subjects such as how the experiment was set up, the effects on phone calls after the Frank Jude beating, and also the effect on phone calls in the other three cases as
This report is showing light to the communities’ response to police brutality particularly in the black communities and also their encounters with police officers. Police brutality is physical violence and great cruelty demonstrated by a police officer. Police brutality and misconduct have existed for many decades and it even has been broadcasted in news stories over America, but nothing has changed. It has happened predominantly to African Americans in lower-income states. Police officers are given slaps on the wrist for taking a life or injuring an innocent person.
Today we live in a society where safety doesn 't come without a cost. We thought the Martin Luther King Jr speeches were over and the changes had been established, but needless to say we as a black society continues to live in fear ,vulnerability and scrutiny just because the of color of our skin and not the content of our character. Why must black boys and men feel apprehensive at the sight of the police? Why should mothers of black boys fear their child 's life could be exterminated anytime they walk out the front door,from those who should be there to protect them. Police Brutality ranges from assault and battery to mayhem, torture, and murder.
Problems such as police shootings and unfair treatment against people of different color continue to happen everyday, and if we can’t figure out a way to stop it then our entire nation is going to suffer. We can look at our world today and think that everything is alright, but what we need to do is look at it from the perspective of someone who is constantly judged for no reason other than their skin color. Once everyone is able to understand both sides of this dilemma, then hopefully our society will be intelligent enough to put an end to racism and allow everyone to live together in peace. We cannot allow for fellow humans to go through pain and misery simply because we think that they aren’t productive members of society since they look different. When the day that each and every individual is treated with the same respect and is given the same opportunities, then we can finally say that we are not racist.
I thought racism was a thing of the past. Looking back, I suppose my obliviousness stemmed from my white privilege. Growing up in a white-centric society, I’d never been disadvantaged because of my race. In addition, my family was mostly silent about issues concerning race. Only as I began raising questions did my parents begin teaching me about it.
