Police Brutality

Police Brutality is something that people have really starting to take notice in the past four years. But, this has been going on for over twenty years, we learned in class about various groups such as NWA who have addressed police brutality multiple times in their songs. How the black panther group was created to patrol Oakland ghettos to prevent police brutality. Now everything has shifted to social media, and people are recording their incidences with police and uploading it to the interment for everyone to see. I'm sure everyone has seen a video of a cop abusing his power and take it to the extent where the victim has been killed or severely hurt. For example, there was this incident not long ago where a cop pulled over a driver for a DUI charge and the women was hesitant to bring her hands down to get her phone because she was scared she was going to get shot. The Cobb County police officer later replied and said "remember, we only kill black people. We only kill black people right?" Having a police officer who's job is to protect and serve say: "we only kill black people," doesn't exactly give black people much hope knowing that the legal system is backed up by racists. That is why I don't see an ending to police brutality anytime soon.
