Justice for All: Confronting Police Brutality in America

Police Brutality is more terrible then before, races to blacks and Hispanics. They profile them off their colors, they think all of them are killers animals. Police brutality has a big whole on our society now today and explains why police do what they do. If you ever seen a policemen beating on a black person or any other race, its police brutality. If so help that person out because that could be you and you would want help too. Police do this because they dislike any other color that’s not theirs, they profile for no reason. Not all policemen are racially profiling minors, beat them because of their race, just mess with them because of hate. Don’t like anything they do, always thinking that they are up to something, and always think their doing a crime. Policemen don’t get in trouble for harassing all of the minors. Police have a real big issue with minors, they still think that beating them is going to solve the problem they have with them. But in reality it’s not, it’s only showing them how much of a coward they are. When minors see the policemen/women they think that they are going to terrorize them or just mess with them, because of what they see in the everyday life. They feel that some minors are better than them. They get too much credit at times. It’s not right for a policeman just to shoot an innocent by stander. 

I saw in the newspapers that a police officer had told this black men to get away from the area that he was in because he didn’t like his kind, so the black men said “This isn’t your property I have rights to be here” so the police men force the man out of the area but the man wasn’t moving. The policemen said “STOP RESISTING” The man said “I CAN’T BREATHE” the policemen didn’t care so when he arrested the man he had blood all on his face and threw him in the car. Later that day the man was torched but he was safe when his family bailed him out of jail. This is showing how much policemen treat our kind because of our color. When used in print or as the battle cry in a black power rally, police brutality can by implication cover a number of practices, from calling a citizen by his or her first name to a death by a policeman’s bullet. What the average citizen thinks of when he hears the terms, however, is something midway between these two occurrences, something more akin to what the police profession knows as “alley court”, the wanton vicious beating of a person in custody usually while handcuffed, and usually taking place somewhere between the scene of the arrest and the station house. Over the past 9 years of unprecedented protests by black lives matter against brutality, not one time did the Democratic Party pass or push any laws against the systemic police brutality or gun violence within the black community. Instead, Obama during the midst of the second Ferguson uprising, passed the uproar and media debates and protests, if Trump suddenly passed a bill to protect NRA immediately after Parkland. Not once over the past 9 years of unprecedented protests against police brutality did the Congressional Black Caucus and especially John Lewis do one sit-in or demands for change as they/he have done for Immigration, LGBTQ or now Parkland students. Instead Lewis has patronized and insulted black students and those fighting against police brutality at every turn.

Whether police brutality is increasing in the United States. Yes police brutality is increasing the United States. According to police Brutality is getting worse and shows no signs of slowing down, there were 804 Americans killed by police officers in 2014 and at least 865 Americans killed by police in 2015. So far in 2016, there have been 896 deaths reported to, The Guardian’s Police Killing database. THE 896 Reported deaths were all Americans killed by the police. - Police officers make split-second decisions every time they interact with a suspect. These decisions can impact the lives of the officers, the suspects, and even civilians. Therefore, officers must decide when it is necessary to exert violent or lethal force to subdue a suspect. When the police use force, it can result in the death of the suspect or witnesses. However, failing to apply force in a confrontation, can endanger the officer or allow the suspect to allude police custody. 

Each year, thousands of reports occur involving some sort of police brutality. Police brutality has been in the media for some time now. Police brutality is when in any situation a civilian is harmed due to force by a police officer. Police brutality is continuing to be questioned because police officers are continuing to abuse their authority. Police officers are acting in brutal manners to control detained suspects. Nowadays how many people remember the story of Rodney King beating was the incident that really brought to public eye the extremes some police take their brand of justice the increasing amounts of police brutality at it does not seem to be stopping. We can always argue that the police are justified in their sometimes questionable methods in stopping criminals, but they do not all fall under this category. Police officers should focus on more crimes, and then focus on beating brutal to the ones that don’t even do nothing to the community. If people can’t see that police men aren’t the bad guys then who are the bad guys. Why do we have to suffer? Why do we have to be wrong when we are right? Why do minors get killed for nothing? Basically what I am saying in this essay is that we need to take a stand on this police crime. Therefore, I feel that if we actually come together and see what police officers are doing to the minors and speak up, we could make a change and change the world.
