POLICE BRUTALITY

    My report will be on police brutality and the misconduct of police departments.  Police misconduct is as old as policing itself and there are new reports every day.  In the second half of my paper, I will use some of these reports as examples of police brutality and what where the outcomes of each incident.

    SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

    Police brutality has and still is a major issue in America today.  It will continue to be if the community, especially the black community doesn't speak up.  New laws have been passed to protect citizens and to ensure police are doing a just job.  Though police brutality isn't a race issue, it is very prevalent in minorities' communities.  If this were a major issue in suburban America, the government would have already done something about it.  As long as officers have more power than they need to have and keep getting away with misconduct, police brutality will continue.
