One perfect exemplification of the discrimination and bias exhibited by law enforcement agencies regards the criminalization of Black and Latino communities.

One of the most recent problems happening today with African Americans is the way they are perceived through the media.

course, police brutality should never occur; Shannon’s own brother fell victim to it. But it is a symptom of the larger web of racism still rampant in the country, where poor neighborhoods with a lack of resources fail to give equal opportunity to minorities, where black men are taken away by the War on Drugs, where families have no
