Why Do We Need Police Brutality?

Police Brutality underscores the abuse of authority. Officers use strands of unreasonable attitudes of extreme measures when it is not necessary. Over time policemen have acted out in ways that demonstrate their abuse of authority, making this behavior now “familiar to the average citizen” (Geiselman). Unjustified shootings, fatal choking's, severe beating’s and rough treatment have all contributed to the current problem of police brutality in America. The fact of the matter is that most of these incidents go un-reported or un-noticed. Through research, we seek to identify the causes of police brutality, and what we can possibly do to end it.
Police brutality occurs in unnecessary times, constructing it into a serious problem. Police brutality
For instance, both Bonnie and Progressive acknowledge that departments do not provide the proper training. Providing officers with the proper training may improve the disapproving view people are beginning to have on police officers and decrease the number of people being killed. Bonnie believes “Many departments don’t provide adequate training in nonviolent solutions” (Bonnie 13). Officers’ attitudes affect the situations because of the way they handle them. Progressive agrees with Bonnie by emphasizing “Many of the people allegedly kicked and beaten by police were not criminals just people who simply had questioned police authority or had minor disagreements with officer” (Progressive 19). Bender, Chaney, and Robertson insist, “Racism causes police brutality,” which means that by stopping racism all problems could stop also (Bender 42) (Chaney and Robertson). If officers were to stop suggesting that black people are criminal’s police brutality could be resolved. “Authors suggest that since black people in general, and black males in particular, are caricatured as aggressively may, to some extent be influenced by race” (Progressive 15). On the other hand another way police brutality could be prevented from “What has changed about police brutality in America, From Rodney King to Michael Brown” Is getting help from other officers and hiring new chiefs the LAPD realized they could not make
According to the “Animal legal defense fund”, “Sometimes dogs are killed because they appear to be of a dangerous breed” (Animal Legal Defense fund). “Animal Legal Defense fund” also stated, “If your dog is perceived as a dangerous breed, such as a Pit Bull or Rottweiler, the risk factor to officers and your dog increases exponentially” (Animal legal Defense fund). Although there is an agreement with both quotes, the fact that dog’s are stereotyped as “dangerous” based on their breed is wrong (Animal Legal defense fund). An example of animal cruelty was found in “Family pets: Victims of police Brutality?” by Chandler. A dog with the name of “Cisco” was shot and beaten to death in front of his owner. This officer had an insufficient amount of training; therefore, beat the wrong dog and “the officer had the wrong house” (Chandler). However, Chandler pointed out, “But Paxton isn’t the first dog owner whose pet has been shot to death by police. A search of news articles from the past year shows more than 100 separate incidents” this evidence clearly shows officers are abusing innocent animals for no sufficient reason because of their mistakes (Chandler). Chandler stated “An officer untrained in recognizing a dog’s body language, for example, could easily mistake a bounding dog from a charging one, a nervous dog from an angry one, or an aggressive dog from one that’s merely
