Arguments Against Police Brutality

Police work is a dangerous job, and police are more than likely to be put into situations when excessive force is needed. But, sometimes police use excessive force for their own personal reasons, such as, racism. The issue of police officers using excessive force may or may not be of great concern, but it should be looked into by both the police and the public. Because some officers use excessive force in situations when it is not needed, police brutality should be addressed.

Police brutality is the lavish physical assault or verbal assault during police procedures which can involve interrogating or apprehending a suspect. Police brutality originated from the labor worker strikes in the 1800’s through the 1900’s. The violent brutal act of these officers usually formed around the lower socioeconomic class. Since then police brutality has hit an all-time high in the 21st century. In New York alone there has been reportedly over 72 police brutality reports some reports even ended in the deaf of a citizen. There’s been claim of police officers violently choking citizens at traffics stops and beating citizen up in public. There’s been new technology such as body cameras which are used by most police but not all.

This topic police brutality is so important to our because Police is brutality is so big right now and we cant people have innocent people in the streets getting shot for doing what they're supposed to be doing. Why we are talking about this is because we have to make a change and stop what is going on. Police have been targeting black lives and there a holding them at gunpoint and shooting them before they even get a trail or can go to court. We as in all of us shouldn't be scared to walk outside or they shouldn't be scared to see a police. Police are here to protect us and it feels like we are at war with them right now but there are supposed to protect us.

Police brutality and police militarization have become a hot topic in the United States of America. There are many cases where police officers motives are being questioned, leading the public into an uproar. Just to name a few of these cases, we have Micheal Brown from Fegurson, Missouri, that started it all, which took place on Augest 19th, 2014. We also have Eric Garner from New York, taking place July of 2014. July of 2016, Alton Sterling of Baton Rouge and Walter Scott from South Carolina in April of 2015.

Throughout history, there has been very few careers that require such a high degree of an ethical standard such as the one required for law enforcement. There is, however, a multitude of careers that require the dedication and heart such as required for a police member. Where this dedication and heart differs relies solely on the difference in the job. Officers are required to be aware of their surroundings nearly all the time as if something were to happen they would be required to navigate through the situation successfully. Somebody such as a CEO for a multimillion dollar company would not require this same quality due to the fact it is not part of their job description and the only individual that he/she needs to be worried about is themselves. However, in today’s society, and with media being an ever growing aspect, some police officers have decided on their own personal way to handle justice. So unfortunately, this small percentage of police contract a huge amount of negative eyes to the profession. This small number of individuals bring a negative view to the police department as a whole and for this cause an issue in the public’s eye. Regardless of what many individuals believe, many of the police officers decide on the ethical side of the job and are hardworking professionals who seek out to just serve the public. However, being an African American male myself the main issue I have and want to combat is the punishment officers should face if

The history of the United States has been a reflection of ferocious brutality through  1776 through 2017. Started by the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln, the civil rights for African Americans began. In the Midst of their freedom, the 13th amendment eventually abolished slavery though  the south, slavery was still mostly concentrated. The 14th amendment gave equal rights and protection, which African Americans are still oppressed to this day.  Martin Luther King and 600 more protesters were  involved in  malicious crises performed by Selma State troopers. The U.S. constitution established and gave U.S citizens their rights on August of 1789, but down the line of severe beatings taking by minorities

Law enforcement has been helpful to the world in the past, though there have been cases where the police used too much of their power. Police brutality is known by the excessive force used on individuals that is unnecessary as law enforcement. Police brutality is prevalent a lot more than it has been in the previous years. In the past police used excessive force when it was necessary, but now in the society we live in police are overstepping boundaries. The police these days act as if they are above the law, and they have the ability to do whatever they desire Police brutality should be monitored so that civilians are protected, and so the police responsible for the wrong doings are punished for their crimes.

Police brutality is a major issue, it happens when a police officer uses excessive force to apprehend someone, resulting in the convict to be badly injured or then killed. The idea of issuing police officers wear body cameras arose. Wearing the cameras will help prevent the events such as the case with Slager. Maybe the cameras will benefit this country.

The more that I look at this Sandra Bland case, the more saddened and frustrated I become. The truth is, black people, we have some culpability in this as well. We don’t want to face the possibility of the darkness that may very well be at the core of this tragic situation. Yes, I fervently question the overzealous behavior of the trooper that decided to escalate the situation instead of deescalate it, as he was trained to do. Yes, I am aware that there are some questions concerning the initial release of the dash-cam video, which illuminates the willingness of law enforcement to cover its ass, at all costs. Yes, I know that the

There is a war going on with police brutality. There’s always something new whether it’s abuse, homicides, or injustice in our community. Society has a huge issue with police officers because many are not pleading guilty for the murders of African Americans. Ever since the Trayvon Martin case, black culture created a bigger feud with police. We live in a world where our “heroes” are becoming villains in our country. The injustice for these particular cases are so common that the community and help from the president of the United States is not enough. During the Mike Brown case, Barack Obama walked in the march in Ferguson with the Black Panthers for the protest. Even if you have the whole community and the president on your back the white man still wins.

Police brutality is the use of unnecessary force by police when dealing with civilians. This has become a big problem lately. People got killed and harmed by police. Those numbers are not going to decrease. Some people may disagree with me, but I think police brutality should stop.

different people, groups, and institutions influence policy decisions. Police brutality is influenced by many, such as our American political ideals of civil rights and liberties, the political process in terms of the media and our political institutions, one which the courts.

My dear Teacher and fellow classmates, I have come today in order to address a serious issue

One issue in today’s society is police brutality and people dying police custody without answers. Many people think police are there for one’s safety while other question their purpose in society. In the article I read there was a reported 95 individual’s killed in last October. And for the total year a reported 950 people killed by police according to the police database. During this article I tied police brutality to sociology. The conflict theory involves structural inequality. The conflict theory also is viewed as a “tool” used the law or dominate groups. These dominate groups have social, political, and economic power, to maintain their privileged position over subordinate groups. Police use their privileges over subordinate groups. Police

As recent incidents of police brutality toward minority groups plague our nation, especially that of African Americans, the question asked by many is such deadly force necessary, and what other actions could have led to a better outcome? Although our primary thought is to blame police officers for death, we must realize that sometimes deadly action is unavoidable, and anyone put in a similar situation would act the same way. According to the U.S Supreme Court in the 1985 case, Tennessee vs Garner, police force can only be used when “[the] suspect is a significant threat to the officer or others.” Later, in the case of Graham vs. Connor, the Supreme Court ruled that “officers who use force must be judged on the totality of circumstances and a standard of objective reasonableness. Force must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, rather than with the 20/20 vision of hindsight;” however, this does not excuse police brutality, and officers must face penalties for taking someone’s life. Cases such as Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice illustrate when force was unreasonable, and police need to be punished for their actions and be held accountable for violence against citizens. Although clearly outlined for what would be a just reason for needed force, various cases that involved police brutality can be blamed on tactics that relate to “broken windows” and a need for different policies and methods.
