One of the biggest issues that seems to be plaguing the U.S. as of late and one of the things that the media is using to divide us. What can be changed to put a stop to it?
First, I just want to say that police brutality can affect anyone and everyone and racism/racial profiling can be one of the causes. Key word being one.
With that out of the way, here are some reasons why I think there's rarely any justice when it comes to police brutality.
Cops have too much protection in the legal system. They automatically get the best lawyers and the juries in those cases are almost always biased. They need to be treated just like any other civilian when it comes to committing crimes and mistreating others.
Cops have a no-snitch code. If a cop dares to report another cop doing something that he or she isn't supposed to be doing, the cop that "snitched" will be mistreated and even harassed. That definitely needs to be addressed and fixed since it's pretty hypocritical of them to have that code.
These are pretty much my thoughts on the entire thing. As for solutions, I'll let you lovely people discuss. Peace!
