Okay I don't know why my thesis is can somebody tell me where it is!!1 okWhat is police brutality? In simple words, police brutality is the use of excessive or unnecessary force by police officers against civilian. Police officers are expected to maintain law and order, protect the lives of citizens, reduce fear of crime and most importantly prevent crime. I’m not sure if it’s to do with race or just about the law enforcement agencies believing they can abuse the power that is a privilege to them. But, being a police officer comes with great responsibilities. So the big question is why “Police Brutality” a serious problem? Police brutality is a serious problem because too many innocents are being killed.
