Police brutality is a major issue in the U.S this past decade. It's quite upsetting as the main slogan that is supposed to represent the police is "Protect and Serve." It's actually a little frightening because a majority of the cops abusing there power barely and rarely get punished for there actions. Although not all cops are going beyond their limits, the police force in America is getting worse and worse each day. In the last decade alone 5,000 civilians have been murdered by cops! The number of soldiers killed in Iraq is less than that with a total count of 4,489.
If we look at the most recent numbers of non-military US citizens killed by terrorism worldwide, that number is 17. You have a better chance of being killed by a bee sting, or a home repair accident than you do a terrorist. And you are 29 times more likely to be murdered by a cop than a terrorist!
500 Americans each year are being killed by police enforcement and it needs to STOP! If we all come together and make a stand we can fight this. We deserve our freedom and shouldn't be worrying about out of control cops who think they are above the law.
Here is a short film on police brutality called RELEASE US.
I would really enjoy to hear your opinion on police brutality. Please leave a comment and share. It's time that we fight back!
