"Black Police Officer Talks Police Brutality, Racism In Interview." News One Black Police Officer Talks Police Brutality Racism Interview Comments. N.p., 10 May 2012. Web. 08 Nov. 2016. Police brutality incidents on the rise for African American’s and Latino’s. In this source the officer that was interviewed only spoke about what he witnessed instead of what he heard.

N.p., n.d. Web. 08 Nov. 2016. While police departments have a problem with prejudice it’s a problem may not be what we think. The article talks about how both selection and group socialization contribute to prejudice in the police force. Also how new police officers show more prejudice than control. A year on the force showed higher prejudice towards marginalized groups, then the new officers. They had less internal motivation to suppress prejudice. This information is reliable and verifiable because they cited their work on where they got some of their information. Objective they looked at both sides. This is a secondary source. This article was very easy to understand the author got straight to the point. The information that was provided was more in depth than others that I read. This source added to my understanding of my topic by providing new information such as that new police recruits did show more significantly more prejudice than control participants. I would recommend this source to others because it is succinct.
