root causes
The effects of police brutality are police officers often target people because of their race. Racial profile is the number one issue for example half of police cases are African Americans Rodney King, Oscar Grant, and Patrick Hall etc… 59% of all Americans in 1999 agreed that racial Discrimination is the cause of police brutality (The Struggle Against Racial Profiling, n.d.). It’s a social issue that happens too often in communities that are Black and Latino. An example could be from half cases of police brutality are most African Americans who are brutally beaten by police officers because of their race. These things happen because where police officers come from how they grow up and their beliefs. But a police officer has to live by his motto which is protect and serve and not to hurt and kill innocent people.
