Police brutality is a crime, unconscionable yet it is alive and well and is found within every thread of fabric that was used to weave the American flag. In order to discuss police brutality against “black people” in the Americas, one must understand who these alleged “black people” are, who established the laws of the Americas, who controls all of the governments under which they live and most importantly one must understand the history and purpose of the establishment of all police departments that exist throughout all of the Americas. The landmass that is currently know today as North America was brutally stolen, colonized, then renamed by the British using a vicious military force that the world had never known before.

This dictionary was established during a time when the enslavement of all people of color was not only accepted and encouraged but also marketed to all white people under a corrupted flag Christianity. In 2017, this dictionary has thirteen definitions of the word “black”, all of which are negative and crude descriptions. The word “black” at the end of each day will always refer to a color and not the nationality of any people. White Europeans called all non-white, indigenous peoples of the Americas black, niggars, colored, negroes and then Jesse Jackson, a puppet of white supremacy, who coined the term, African American in the late 1980’s. There is no such thing as an African American, a Black person, a Negro or a Colored person. Europeans are referring to who they know to be the original indigenous brown skinned people who come from North, Central and South America. Further proof of this is that if you choose to classify yourself as any of those terms, you have absolutley no legal protection or rights. The white people who established America lumped all people of color together and called them all black, when we are not. We are separate and distinct nations with different cultures and languages, who happen to share the same color of skin. That is why a so called “Negro” …show more content…
Indigenous people of color in America are unjustifiably targeted, majority of cops will not face disciplinary consequences, and racial profiling happens to only people of color and specifically “blacks” and “spanish” men. America and all of its laws, rules and regulations were established by white British men who not only owned “black” slaves, forced “black” women slaves to have sex but also birthed an entire nation of mixed “blacks” who they in turn elevated above the darker, original brown skinned “black” person, in all levels of society. It was this type of division that birthed the terms “house nigger” and “field
Police brutality has been an apparent mark on the struggles, trials, and tribulations of people of minorities for years, primarily Black people. From the times of slavery to the present unlawful targeting and murders of black citizens with no justification, police brutality has been an enema in Black American culture for hundreds of years. Seen both in James Baldwin’s “Going to Meet the Man” and in the current happenings of the United States. The hashtag “#BlackLivesMatter” has been a focal point in the current struggle for equality of the races. The current outpouring of support for black lives and
Every day you see and hear about minorities groups complain about cops and their tactics against them stopping them while in traffic taking them in to custody or even getting kill over nothing. Racial Profiling is a common thing in this community and it is causing a lot of trouble. According to Minnesota House of Representatives analyst Jim Cleary, "there appear to be at least two clearly distinguishable definitions of the term 'racial profiling ': a narrow definition and a broad definition... Under the narrow definition, racial profiling occurs when a police officer stops, questions, arrests, and/or searches someone solely on the basis of the person 's race or ethnicity... Some ways to stop it is find out who is guilty of it, look at their
Police Brutality Police work is dangerous. Sometimes police put in situations that excessive force is needed. But, because some officers use these extreme measures in situations when it is not, police brutality should be addressed. The use of excessive force may or may not be large problem, but it should be looked into by both the police and the public. For those people who feel racism is not a factor in causing the use of excessive force, here is a startling fact. In Tampa Bay, Florida, five men died while in the custody of the
This year there's been a lot of brutalities. In fact, there have been at least 500 people killed by the police officers this year. In this article, we are going to be talking about police brutality against African Americans. We are also going to talk about the differences and similarities of different cases that have been in the news this year. For example, the Sandra bland, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and the Walter Scott cases. Also, we're going to talk about how these cases have affected the African American community.
Aside from the fact that police brutality is wrong in itself, there is a much greater issue at hand. African-Americans, Hispanics and other minority groups are more likely to face this hostile behavior than Whites are. In America, minorities still face embedded racism and second-class treatment. A recent poll showed that many police officers even feel that their fellow coworkers act with excessive force yet do not report them due to the possibility of getting a “cold shoulder” from fellow workers. Many police officers stop more black people than they do white by racial profiling; racial profiling is using race or ethnicity as a key
Police brutality is rising heavily in the United States. Many cases of police brutality are being reported regularly by the media. There have been victims either physically injured, molested, permanently disabled, killed in the process or even die in the care of officers. Ethnic minority groups are major victims of most cases of reported police brutalities in America. There have been more injustice than justice in these cases and if there’s no serious legal consequences against police’s that engage in racial profiling and brutalities against their victims then it may continue to and eventually they will lose the public’s trust and respect for our officers. And in worst cases may lead to the breakdown of law and order as well as the destruction of lives, properties and communities.
Police Brutality has always been an occurring action throughout history. There has been occurring events from the beginning with the Selma to Montgomery March in 1965 as to now. To elaborate on the subject of police brutality is the act of using excessive physical force upon a citizen when it is not needed. This act occurs both in the United States and multiple countries and unfortunately many of these cases go unreported. This has been a major problem that has been occurring throughout history.
A strong central government in our national government is imperative to our nation when concerning the rising issue of division in the United States. Our national government holds everything together through its rulings, which is what our nation needs in a time where there are white nationalists spreading hate in the south, an impending nuclear war, and where the south is recovering from multiple unheard of national disasters.
My topic is racial profiling for African-American minorities in police brutality.Police Brutality is unfair to African-Americans because police officers brutalize them with no reason.We should care about Police Brutality because the people they brutalize are human beings.I doesn’t too much thinking for a human to know and realize that brutalizing an African-American or any other race is wrong.We should also care because it is bad to target a certain race because doesn't like them,and prefers another race.One day Police Brutality can happen to you,a family member/relative,or even a friend.Together as a strong society/community should inform the actions police officers are taking and cease police brutality.
One the biggest issue in the criminal justice system today is Police Brutality. Police Brutality is the use of excessive force by law enforcement. It involves unreasonable force used to arrest or detain an individual that result in a serious injury. The different forms of police brutality is verbal attacks , abuse of authority , sexual assault, torture to force confession and fraud. However, the most common form is physical. There are so many cases of police using excessive force. The police have very strict rules about their use of force and the manner in which they use it. There are thousands of reports each year of assaults and ill treatment against police officers who use excessive force and violate the human
Police Brutality is when police don't do the right thing. Like if a cop is driving on down the street and he sees the lights and then he turns on his sirens so they can pass the red light. they could turn on their sirens so people can get out the way they're going. Kenneth Chamberian was a marine veteran. he was killed from police brutality, when some cop went to his house and killed him inside.Black people are killed by law enforcment twicw as frenquently as white people
Walsh & Conway(2011) suggested standards of police should be to implement transparency be responsive and maintain professional, human rights. The black people and lower class people face this violence in form of deadly force and shootings. In the 2011 publication, Gabbidon, Higgins & Potter suggested police to be more corrupt, unfair , harsh and cruel against black people.The police needs to be accountable to its community and department but by doing these kind of acts they are felt to be unsafe in the smaller communities. The brutality lead to push the black people to slavery in many countries by enforcing racial discrimination on them. In the past brutality was done by police in situations of racial discrimination which is still going on at many places to preserve power of upper class white people and for political purposes. This practice of brutality has a strong effect on minority groups like the blacks. If it is observed in a legal context police brutality is an abuse in law enforcement where a police officer has an upper hand because of the uniform they are wearing and the firearms they use which cannot be used by an ordinary individual. Examples of police brutality can be taken from the United States of America where in reality the black people are being discriminated by violating

African American males are disproportionately the victims of police brutality, compared to their white counterparts in the American society, due to race. Although race doesn’t exist, racism still plays the factor in the everyday life of an African American male. Past and recent events in America have given citizens of the United States reason to suspect that when justice gets served, extreme force is often unleashed on African American males. When going back and looking at the police cases, the use of extreme force is tragically displayed by the death of many African American citizens. From a more recent standpoint, Charly Keunang, was a homeless man who was shot and killed by the LAPD in the streets of Los Angeles. Another incident involved
Some cops who commit the offense do not get caught and feel untouchable which leads them to brag to other officers and friends. The criminal act is never told or publicized because no one will speak out, not even other officers who have witness the acts. They refuse to speak out or they just cannot speak out because they are afraid. According to recent statistics 99% of cop brutality cases that go uninvestigated. You would think that the 1% that does get investigated would receive good news, but that is not true. On the other hand, when they do get caught it resolves them to say something similar to this, “I felt threatened, I felt afraid, the victim struggled with me, and he reached for my gun.” This is the same old story from officers who
