Abuse of Police Power
Have you heard about the mike brown incident? A police officer shot him multiple times
and killed him that is what we call police brutality. Police brutality is when police use
unnecessary force upon a person. According to cnn police have shot and killed 492 blacks
people. African Americans are punished more than any other race because there has been a
rise police brutality, racial profiling and racism.
Racial profiling is the reason why blacks gets punished more than other races.Nation
reels trim a series of high profile of fatal shooting of blacks.this quote shows that africans
americans always targeted first.evidence of a significant bias in the killing of unarmed black
americans.this quote explains that's blacks gets pressured.not only police killing blacks they also
throwing them in jail.
African americans are sent to jail more than any other race.nationwide that blacks are 13
time more likely to be sent to state prison more than whites.this quote is showing you that blacks
are punished more than anybody.73 percent of blacks were stopped and searched on the highway
in new jersey.this quote shows you the police will do anything to try to punish blacks.this shows
that police always target blacks first before other races.
African americans are still dealing with races people in world today.A series of flashpoint
around the u.s. has exposed deep racial divides between blacks and whites.this should tell you
that that blacks are still dealing with racism.An event that endangered a lot of black people had
people scared to go outside.This explain that blacks are the go to people when any crime
happen.This shows that racism still exist because whites always accuse black people.
Police violence against blacks are worse than any other race.former police ,officer jason
stockley who is white was acquitted of first degree murder.He fatally shot and killed anthony
lumer smith who was black.this quote black men are constantly harassed by the police.16
unarmed black men out of a population of more than 20 million were killed by the police.this
quote shows that blacks get punished and killed for nothing.this explain that police brutality
against blacks is crazy!!!
This graph shows the annual rate of deaths caused by the police 39% of white
people,hispanics are at 60%,Asain are 18%,and black people is over 100% that should show you
that it's only like police are killing blacks.
Police kill blacks for no reason.police officer roy oliver who shot and killed a black male
named Jordan Edwards at a teen party.this shows you that police don't care about black
people.15 year old jason edwards was leaving a party saturday night and officer oliver opened
fire.he that edward car was driven towards him aggressively so he started shooting.this quote will
show you police kills blacks for no reason.this explain that police brutality happens whenever
they feel like killing someone.
the way police shows racism you would think they beefing.in 2013 ferguson police made
5384 stops and 92 percent of them were black people.this shows that all around states or cities
racism is is crazy.they find communities that have a certain amount of blacks in it and try to
harass them.this explains that police have a negative mind against blacks.this proves that racism
towards blacks is everywhere.
Recent high profile cases of unarmed black men dying at the hands of us police have
cause some crazy protest.The story of Mike brown,Eric garner,Walter scott,and Freddie gray is
what started all of the police violence because they were innocent unarmed men that the police
killed.
Most blacks think their own race discrimination.80 percent of blacks say they feel
discriminated because of the way they're treated.this proves to you that blacks are not treated the
same as any other race.61 percent say police are more likely to put force on a person that is
african american than on a white person in the same situation.this shows that racism still exist
towards blacks.this explains why majority of african americans believe that discrimination is
focus on them.
Police brutality on a young man.a young man family reports that he was brutally beaten
by the police for a misunderstanding.this shows you that police don't care what they do to
blacks.the police officer walked in the store and thought he seen the african american shoplifting
and started beating him.this the reason why blacks feel harmed with everything they do.this
quote shows that police like harassing blacks.
