This political cartoon shows a side by side comparison of the goal of some police officers verses all police officers. The illustrator Bob Englehart uses caricature to give the badges a more cartoon look while remaining identifiable. This helps the reader laugh a little bit at the comedic, cartoon looking badges and lighten the mood of the political cartoon. Under the “All Cops” caption, a badge states “To Serve and Protect”, this shows the goal of all police enforcement. Which is to protect the city, county, or state the officer’s work in.

The data showed that 96% of all brutality incidents involved a white police officer killing a black civilian in the United States. The other chart shows the amount of Americans that feel officers usually are held accountable verses the amount of Americans that feel officers are usually not held accountable. The infographic shows two police brutality victims last. Next to the pictures, a statistic shows that “young black males are 21 times more likely to be killed by non-military law enforcement officers than young white males.” This quote is a loose sentence because the main point, the statistics, come right away in the …show more content…

The up-to-date statistics also help show that the numbers for the most part will remain similar in the 2016 year. This can reiterate that the United States continues as a far more dangerous place for young adults in 2016 in comparison to Canada and Great Britain. One of the pictures at the bottom shows Michael Brown, one of the young males tragically shot and killed by an officer. Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed 18 year old Brown. The young age of Brown alarms young adults in this age category who fear this type of police
