How Does Race Play A Big Role In Crime

Police brutality and office involved shootings have sparked national debate and created a strain between police officers and citizens. Recently, there have been more home videos that display acts of aggression by police officers. These police officers often use excessive forces or a condescending tone towards people of color which is why there needs to be a better way to mend police and civilian relationship. People should be able to trust the police in their communities rather than fear them.

Not only has Police Brutality exposed hidden racism, but it has begun to cause separation in our nation. All of these Police Brutality cases such as Alton Sterling, Mike Brown, and Trayvon Martin just to name a few, all have happened within the last 3 years, and they were all documented on camera, exposing the reality to millions around the world. The conflict didn’t stop at the shootings though, many big-name Athletes stood up for the altercations and asked for attention. I am going to go over each individual shooting, the athletes that stood up for them, and political leaders that spoke on it.

Recently police have come under fire for the deaths of many unarmed African American males. This has broken the trust between civilians and police and torn our country apart. People are frustrated about the killings of unarmed citizens and how it seems every officer can get away with killing an unarmed suspect. Back in 1994 a law was passed that required the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to record date on police involved shooting and deaths by police officers. Except where are the numbers that would show there is an increase in unarmed African American deaths from police officers?

When we as people watch the news or read our newspapers, we can see that most of the criminals committing crimes are usually of African American or Hispanic descent. Society today even depicts people of color as criminals in all novels and comic books while white characters play the victim. It may seem as if the media only focuses on the crimes and pettiness involved with black people. What are included for Blacks to be more required in wrongdoing? How do African American stereotypes and racial profiling from societies new look on policing power?

b) Their silence and ignorance set a bad example to the communities they are meant to protect.

A young man’s brutal death at the hands of the police is found justified in a court of law due to his “suspicious” appearance: a black hoodie and his hands in his pocket. An elderly woman is fatally shot in her home for her relation to a suspected criminal. A married man with two toddlers is choked to death after a minor traffic stop by an officer who later claimed that his unarmed victim was wielding a gun. These people all have a few commonalities: the color of their skin, their presumed guilt at first sight, and their ultimate unjustified death administered by the law force. These are not uncommon occurrences. Due to the staggeringly disproportionate rate of African-Americans killed by the police, and the underlying rampant racial profiling, police brutality towards blacks in America must be called to light.

Over the recent years, police have been one of the organizations to be associated with the largest cases of misconduct. Police brutality can be termed as the process of misuse and abuse of authority by the police. The rising cases of police brutality are causing more harm to the public, compared to the actions perpetrated by real criminals. Although police claim that it’s sometimes necessary to curb crime, the process is illegal and police officers should be charged just like any other criminal offender. It should be the responsibility of the justice system to establish effective strategies to deal with the rising illegal activities in order to restore public trust in the law

The reason Americans feel this way is because they do not think the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court are serving the needs of the people. The reason why is that people fear their own government they do not feel safe. With all the police brutality going on Americans feel like the people who are there to serve and protect are there just to attack them. They cannot afford healthcare because the bills are so high and the ones who have social security, Medicaid, and Medicare are costing the government billions of dollars. The biggest concern among Americans is that the three branches of

People from the Mass Action Against Police Brutality (MAAPB) got together at the Boston Police Headquarters in Roxbury on April 4, 2018 to demand justice for several victims killed by police officers. Demonstrators here also argue whether or not we have rights given how vastly overlooked and ignored police brutality is by the government. The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 said the U.S. Congress mandated that the attorney general collect data on police officers use of excessive force and publish an annual report of it. However, the Bureau of Justice Statistics stopped keeping count of this in March 2014 due to lack of participation from state and local agencies. Crowd-sourced funding projects have had to take these data

Although it may not seem to have a lot of crimes in the public eye, the city of Saint Paul has suffered many cases of black on black violence as well as police brutality. Growing up, as a younger child, I have witnessed my own brothers an older cousins become dependent on the streets. I grew up learning my basic skill as well as learning to never answer the policeman if he asks me if my brothers are in my home. Growing up, reaching the 7th grade I saw the same young boys whom I had 5th grade classes with become dependent on the same streets my brother and cousins were now too far deep into. By the time I graduated high school the same male friends that I had since elementary were either labeled an associate/member of a local gang, in jail,

Who do you call when police murder ? Police brutality is the use of excessive and/or unnecessary force by police when dealing with civilians (Danilina, n.d.). “Excessive use of force” is an action beyond the law, and can not be taken legally. Police brutality may be in different ways and mostly it is in physical form. Police officers are geared with many things and police can intentionally use them to hurt people. Nowadays, it is not rare to hear about the police being extra brutal against civilians, and there are huge number of evidence on the internet. Police brutality exists from the times when police departments were established. The term “police brutality” was appeared at least from in 1833 in London’s The Poor Man’s Guardian. Excessive use of force by police is a problem which needs to be concerned about, and it should be stopped before it finally ruins our trust on

Law enforcement officials are claiming military-grade equipment and vehicles are necessary in order for police to fight the “war on drugs.” Advocates of the police are even saying ‘they need the weapons to fight major threats, such as terrorism.’ First of all, the definition of terrorism is “the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.” That being said, the first thing wrong with the officials reasoning for needing new vehicles is the fact that since the death of Michael Brown on August 9, 2014, at least 1,083 Americans were killed by police officers. This high number more than likely isn’t including all the people who died by the hands of police brutality, but no witnesses were around and no cameras were recording

In recent years, police actions, particularly police abuse, has come into view of a wide, public and critical eye. While citizens worry about protecting themselves from criminals, it has now been shown that they must also keep a watchful eye on those who are supposed to protect and serve. This paper will discuss the types of police abuse prevalent today, including the use of firearms and receipt of private information. I will also discuss what and how citizens' rights are taken advantage of by police. For these problems, solutions will be discussed, focusing on political reform, education, and citizen review boards.

Why are some "ethnic minorities", but not others, over-represented in patterns of arrest and imprisonment in the UK? To what extent is this attributed to discrimination?

Over the past five centuries, black people have endured violence in many different ways. Today, police officers use deadly, excessive force that leads to inexcusable assaults, beatings and shootings.
