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.

An egalitarian is someone who believes that not only should women be equal to men, but everyone should be equal to everyone and the only thing that separates us is our merits and the things that we have worked to achieve in life. That is why I am and always will be an egalitarian.

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.

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.

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.

A great deal of society views law enforcement officers as heroic and honorable individuals, whose main purpose is to protect and serve the community. For many officers, this description is accurate, however for others; violence and brutality against innocent citizens is part of getting the job done. For years, minorities have fallen victim to police brutality based on racial profiling, stereotypes and other

What is police brutality? Police brutality is an act of misconduct done by a member law enforcement through the use of an extreme amount of force to physically, mentally, or emotionally attack a member of society. Many law enforcement officers, those sworn to protect and serve, have abused their rights and authority to ferociously assault and manipulate citizens, even if they were innocent. Citizens who have been attacked have been left with physical and emotional scars that can never go away; in some cases, it has even caused death. In a report by David Packman, prepared for the Cato Institute in 2011, states that 247 deaths were linked to police misconduct cases.(Packman 2011)

Police brutality is an ongoing problem in the United States. Law enforcement agents are there to protect the public for they have the legal right to use physical, and even deadly, force. However, many of these officers abuse of that power. In the past year, there have been more than 900 cases of police abuse. Most of the victims have been innocent, unarmed, and/or of color. Police brutality is becoming more and more of an issue as society keeps growing. This nationwide problem could be solved in many ways, but having peaceful protests and by educating our police officers about racial differences are two good possible solutions.

Over the past few years, there have been many complaints about police brutality. Some of these have even ended in the deaths of the civilians. Because of the deaths, citizens have lost a lot of trust in police officers. Now the departments are trying to fix this loss of trust, and one of the ways is to have officers wear body cameras. With officers wearing the cameras there will be a video of everything that happens between the officers and civilians. The police departments are hoping with these videos that civilians will be more willing to trust the officers since everything will be recorded, and the officers will not be able to deny or hide anything that happens. In this essay, I want to show some of the many benefits for the cameras. A few of these would be that the videos give evidence of what happens between the officers and civilians, officers and civilians are more aware of their actions when the cameras are present, because of this there have been fewer complaints made against officers, the use of force has also decreased since police have started using the cameras, but there is still the concern of peoples’ privacy being protected.

My group and I decides to create a sculpture that memorialized the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Alton Sterling, Philando Castille, and Mike Brown, six black men who were unjustly murdered by police officers. Over the years, police brutality has proven to be a major issue yet America tries to hide or defend such incidents. Our sculpture strives to do the exact opposite.

The term “excessive use of force” is described as a force well beyond what would be necessary in order to handle a situation. Police brutality can be seen in a number of ways. Physical is the most obvious form of the police brutality. Police officers can use equipment such as nerve gas, batons, pepper spray, and guns in order to physically intimidate or even hurt civilians. Bernstein (2016) described that another form of police brutality is false arrests, sexual abuse, psychological intimidation, police corruption, verbal abuse, racial profiling, and the improper use of Tasers.
