The issue seems to be so wide that it is not a clear cut yes or no issue on determining if it is a targeted act or not, which drives me to even more because it is something I can learn more about.

I know that police brutality can either be accidental or used when a police officer is trying to defend him or herself. Another thing that I know and have observed about this issue is that it hasn’t just sprung up, but instead it has become more easily brought to our attention because of people filming these intendents and posting them on their social media pages.
