Another example would be because the cops think that they can do what they want and get mad when citizens question them. They use a lot more force than they need to and make a bigger deal than it actually is.…

There is also the “blue curtain” or the “blue wall of silence,” which is something of a code of silence among the police and it only serves…
In recent years, police have been doing things to make us question whether the police are really here to protect us, or just abuse their power. Many unexplainable shootings, beatings, life threatening chokings, and verbal abuse incidents have all been part of this problem. One big problem is most of the time when police brutality happens, it fails to get reported or is not noticed. Numerous facts and stories have been presented to society about police brutality. Even though police officers get training to teach them to overlook their personal biases, to use their power as law enforcers correctly, to stay away from physical abuse, sexual assault, mental health abuse, and to deal with those situations in the most calm and civil way possible,…
