Racism and police brutality go hand in hand and are a major concern in today's society in the United States. On March 3, 1991, in California, Rodney King, an African American, was arrested after a high-speed chase and, after stopping, was beaten by four white police officers (Worsnop 635). Tracy Brock, also African American, was arrested in Manhattan in November 1986. A police officer smashed his head through a window when Brock refused to enter the officer's dining room (Police Brutality and Excessive Force in the New York City Police Department 14). . Ki Tae Kim, a Korean grocer, was attacked when he was accused of passing a fake bill. He was punched in the face, his head was slammed against the counter, and the officer also subjected him to racial slurs (Police Brutality and Excessive Force in the New York City Police Department 17). Marcos Maldonado, a Latino grocer, was taken as a suspect after an armed robbery at his store. He was handcuffed, thrown to the ground, kicked repeatedly, and beaten with the officer's baton (Police Brutality and Excessive Force in the New York City Police Department 17). Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant, was arrested outside a Brooklyn nightclub and brutally attacked upon arrival at the police station. Volpe, a longtime police officer, was accused of pushing a plunger into Louima's rectum until her bladder and intestines were lacerated. Then he pushed the plunger into Louima's mouth and knocked out her teeth (Steinback 8). These are just a few examples of people who have been affected by police brutality and racism. There are five stages through which force can progress and lead to brutality: verbal persuasion, unarmed physical force, use of non-lethal force..... . middle of paper ......d, “We were naive to think that the Rodney King case would solve the problem of police abuse. This is a much bigger problem than just one affair... You need to take these issues very seriously. »(Goldman A1+). Rita Leitner, whose son was a victim of police brutality, is speaking out and is very active in preventing police brutality. She is strong because her son was permanently injured at the hands of those who were supposed to protect him. The players mentioned here are all against police brutality. It was quite difficult to find players who thought brutality wasn't important and wasn't a problem. The Prince analysis performed on this issue shows that there is an eighty-three percent chance of being implemented. This is a very likely implementation rate. Police brutality in the United States and around the world must be completely abolished to protect citizens and police officers..
