Within our police system in America, there are gaps and loopholes that give leeway to police officials who either abuse the authority given to them or do not represent the ethical standards that they are expected to live up to by society. There’s a simple argument to determine whether that the American criminal justice isn’t one system with massive racial disparities but two distinct regimes where it’s the kind of policing regime you expect in a democracy or the alternative which is the kind you expect in an occupied land. “Seven of 10 whites had that said they could imagine a situation in where they would approve of a police officer striking an adult male,” according to the (2014 General Social Survey). While some white folks refer to as being

That’s why I think it should be clear to everyone that there’s been a long line of brutal attacks made by police against blacks. One incident that should have resonated with all of us is the rodney king incident where after a high speed chase the taxi driver was beaten tremendously by numerous LAPD cops who showed no remorse but simply just enjoyment in punishing the man. A wrongful act of violence against black women shouldn't come as big of a surprise as (Andrea J. Ritchie) a police-misconduct attorney, explains in her new book (Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color) why that very issue expands upon other women in this issue. She issued that what happened in Columbia, her hometown, was "representative amongst a decade-long trend in policing black women and girls of color across the country, also expanding through in and out of school.” If this kind of aggression comes as a bit of a surprise it's because it wasn't until recently that the issue of police misconduct against women of color found greater prominence in national discussions of a regime run by police as she points out is the direct point in which her story goes. This evidence shows that it’s not just black men and children but it spreads throughout women of color as well and probably even more. It’s really beneficial …show more content…
It just makes more progress nowadays rather than in the past due to us having the technology and the devices that weren’t present back when these incidents were not getting enough attention to change. “African Americans and other people of color are being burdened by a presumption of guilt that just increases their risk of being injured or killed in an encounter with police officers and protects their killers from punishment by assigning fault to the victims. The dramatic video of the deaths of Mr. Sterling and Mr. Castile however, provided the public of the U.S. an unfiltered view of events. The videos had spread widely and launched local, national, and global protests.” (Equal Justice Initiative). The information presented explains how even just a slight presumption of guilt and suspiciousness by police lead blacks to get in even more danger as some of them either are brutally attacked or attacked emotionally and mentally which leads to more problems. It’s one of the more growing problems in impoverished areas where black people are vulnerable to unreasonable pat downs and searches of the
