Police Brutality: An Analysis

Although the media seems obsessed with highlighting only the negative side of the force, there is more to the story. Police officers are as human as everyone else, and even they are not impervious to the pressures of society.

Police practicing public execution is a clear infringement upon the constitutional rights which is why I have chosen this article. The title of this article “police brutality may be overwhelmingly legal but it 's far from being ethical or just”. I have chosen this article not only with its connection to Dr. Martian Luther King Jr. but it is a growing epidemic in today 's society. While it is legal for an officer to use force to “protect and serve” the right to take ones life is not ethical.

The lessons about police corruption continue to break the basic building blocks of the nation. The many variations of police corruption undoubtedly effects perceptions of law as a legitimate establishment. One issue looms in the definition of corruption across the vast cultures within the United States.

Moreover, with officers under so much pressure to get a confession, they use coercive tactics, which causes suspects to crack under the weight of the pressure and fear placed upon them and present a false confession. Intense pressures in the interrogation room is one way of many law

Police brutality is one of the most severe and troubling violation of human rights in the United States of America. The unnecessary force by officers continues, because of overpowering obstructions to accountability. This point makes it probable that officers who violate citizens’ rights are most likely to not face punishment and often leads to replication of their wrongdoings. Some government entities claim that the use of police brutality is a part of self-defense for the law enforcement, most citizens disagree on this research and insist officers are abusing their authority and using excessive force unnecessarily. Police departments should revise and reevaluate safety and cultural training to provide a solution to excessive force.

The criminal justice system, like any system is designed by human beings and hence possess the possibility of a loophole for criminals. Needless to say, the system was introduced in order to maintain law and order as well as provide a safe community for the people. If this is true, then why do we get to witness crimes, some beyond the horror of one’s imaginations and later find that the court decided to rule in the accuser’s favor by making

Criminal trials act as a process for punishment. Even though in itself they do not directly deliver transitional justice, they act as a vehicle A primary purpose of transitional justice is to seek recognition for victims, as well as the promotion of peace and reconciliation. Criminal trials are concerned with interests of the defendant, they do not allow victims to share their stories.

It’s time to #TakeAKnee “We never get rid of hate by meeting hate with hate; we get rid of an enemy, by getting rid of enmity. By its very nature hate destroys and tears down.” Dr. Martin Luther King stated that the purpose of non-violent protest was not to get revenge but to change the heart of the enemy. Over the past couple of years America has begun to acknowledge police brutality as a serious problem. While state-sanctioned violence towards individuals of varying races of color is not new, the documentation through dash-cams and civilian cellphone footage has brought the brutality to light.

Therefore, he feels uncomfortable with his coworkers’ violent methods. Soon, he requests transfer to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, always hoping to find more righteous partners and also having learned that it is a convenient route to get a detective’s shield. According to the above description, the occurrence of police brutality is one of the plot and contains one of the ethical issue in this movie. We can see that this issue is not completely resolved.

Professor Roger Hood proposes four main objections to the use of capital punishment: (1) Capital punishment violates the fundamental right to life; (2) capital punishment is not a unique deterrent; (3) the administration of the death penalty, even in developed legal systems, is inherently and irredeemably flawed; and (4) its effect is counter-productive in that it gives out very confused moral messages.

Many people’s perception of the police is that they are corrupt. In Kevin Grant’s Article Ethic and Law Enforcement, Grant states, “it also constitutes one of the most significant obstacles to positive police-public relations in today’s society.” Recently displayed in the media has been the corruption or appearance of corruption of police departments all over the country.

Over the years, racism and police brutality incidents have become a controversial topic among the society. The main reason for this is because both topics go hand and hand with each other. Even though officers are faced with many life-threatening situations every day, forcing them to make split second decisions, racism and racial profiling are the main cause for police brutality rates and the government should start doing things to stop it because many innocent people are getting hurt and killed.
