The Role Of Police Brutality

The way that the police uses excessive force with any minority class men is considered brutality disregarding their ethnicity or economic status. Police brutality has a dramatic change on how the community looks at the law enforcers. Nobody will look at policemen the same way after all the accusations and prove that shows how they are abusive of the power granted to them by the government. Every human, regardless of ethnicity, the color of skin, being a minority, and having legal status in the country has his Miranda rights. Miranda rights can not be broken by police officers when being arrested for a minor crime or a bigger felony. The way a person looks, dresses, acts, or who they hang out with should not be a cause for arrest and brutality
However, for police officers and other law enforcers is in their everyday lives and it just grows bigger and bigger as time passes. “As we approach the twentieth anniversary of the acquittal of five Los Angeles Police Department officers in the street torture of Rodney King, it is urgent to once again examine how police violence shapes our everyday realities in different and contradictory ways” (Rodriguez 303) shows how police brutality is in U.S citizens everyday lives. Just because it does not happen to us or we do not see does not man that is out there. The way that the government does not press severe criminal charges against the officers who perform such fatal events is just indescribable. In the article “Racism and Police Brutality in America” by Cassandra Chaney and Ray Robertson explains how “...racism shapes this discourse” (Chaney and Robertson 480). This shows how police officers being racist is a big part of them abusing their power against minorities. Police officers are taking out their range on minorities when they commit simple crimes such as traffic violations. “Policemen are authorized to write their own rules” (Maddox and Alton 13) . This quote from “Police Brutality: inside rules, outside laws”shows how officers not always use their power correctly and could bring drastic consequences to both the residents and the law
In the article “Bill would hide police body cam images” by Tom Humphrey states how police that commit crimes will still remain hidden from the public. “Keep video of police misconduct under wraps for even longer” (Humphrey n.pag). This quote shows how police misconduct happens in our everyday lives and the government is doing as much as possible to keep it a secret from the public. The community needs to be aware of what police brutality is causing deaths day to day and is not being sentenced. Profiling keeps happening and police officers attacking minorities and abusing their power by just how they are dressed or their color of their skin. “68% of most police brutality” (Eldelman n.pag) cases in some way have profiling involved according to the article written by Marian W. Eldelman. When police officers see someone in the street that to them they look suspicious they will stop that person, search them and find a reason to arrest them. However, when the officers have no way of proving that the resident did something that does not cooperate with the law. In most cases officers still have to proceed like if they found something to incriminate each of the citizens that they
