In my opinion the police brutality is mainly because they don't know how to manage the stress there living at the moment of teh arreste.
Some ppl will be arrested and not resist but some others will go mad and thats how the brutality starts.
Caucasian,african american, chiniese, Indian, everyone that resists an arrest is bound to get a beating. there only human they get mad to
but they always have to controle themselves and thats the hard part try to see if you stay calm if the dude goes over to take your revolver. or spits in your face,the only difference is that they're always watched and as soon as they do something wrong or politically incorrect there
cursed to a bad reputation.
I'm not saying that the brutality is the way to go there but there humains.

No, i'm an American and that i'm quite attentive to the different racial objectives and the tensions between different races. It in order that takes position to be that in this u . s . a . (the united states), the Black vs. White stress is the most heated racial stress and has been using roots. you won't be able to erase heritage in any respect. obviously, each ethnic crew/race will be a objective of racism in this u . s . a ., yet we ought to continually comprehend by now, why the Black vs. White racism is the most heated. Yea, besides the undeniable fact that the slaves interior the united states were African/Black and that is were it starts, even if you should hearken to it or not. that is a incontrovertible reality that those racial issues all started out with the slavery of the Blacks less than the Whites. It grow to be all a plan less than a guy named Willie Lynch. examine his "handbook" and also you may comprehend and see obviously that it impacts us in contemporary. Slavery has been round because the start of time, yet when you're taking about the united states and also you're making a correlation with slavery, that is going to be directed to the Blacks and Whites. a lot of you forget that the aftermath of slavery also holds an incredible effect on us. we are nevertheless living interior the aftermath of slavery interior the united states.

It's called....H.U.A.(head up a#$) on both parties, police and criminals. There are some criminals who don't respect anybody or anything. There are some police who sometimes don't have a level train of thought when dealing with these certain individuals and they lose there mind for a second, which is understandable.
I wouldn't say it is Racism, it just looks that way, because a majority of the public you see in trouble on local media happens to be of a certain race.

While I think it is a cause it is not always the reason, some people even cops have a hard time dealing with different types of people, and if someone pushes a button with that particular police officer it may cause them to do something stupid.

That is soooooo B. S. Get a life. It is common knowledge that police depts have to hire minorities before others, no matter what the test scores are. That is a fact not disputed.

OMG are you serious it does not matter what race you are if you fight the police you will get the same in return. the police have a job to serve and protect. and if a person gets arrested if you are green purple white or black don't put up a fight because they will fight back. remember there are police of every race.

No, it is mostly because the one being arrested are punks and think it is wise to try to take on authority. Thus, they get beat down, too bad, so sad.

Usually and in my personal experience, via a broken leg in custody, more down to frustration and ignorance with a hint of mob mentality.

No. Not all cops are white - and not all that get treated "brutally" are of color.
