Police got away with unjust beating and murdering of minorities in nearly all cases because of warped police reports and, ultimately, the unfair judicial system 20 40 60 80 100 The 1,217 police shooting from 2010-2012 showed blacks were killed at a rate of 31.17 per million while whites were killed at a rate of 1.47 In the 1940's racism towards blacks was fierce and an unjust act of brutality by law enforcment would make no difference to most people.

Excessive police violence today incites protests around the nation, as shown with the recent death of Eric Garner. The death of one black man, which would not have made a difference in the 1940's, now incites nation-wide rallying; this shows how values of discrimination no longer have a place in society. Also, after Garner's death, NYPD police commissioner ordered an extensive review of the department's training procedures. This shows an obvious change in the police department's stance on excessive violence towards minorities stop and frisk- a practice of the NYPD which allows officers to randomly search citizens on the street Stop and frisk was implemented to help decrease criminal activity on the street, but since unexperienced officers patrolled the streets only looking to garner a great number of stops, it created resentment between minorities and police. Police Policy on Use of Force *The police describe the use of force as the "amount of effort required by police to compel compliance by an unwilling subject" *The police should only use the amount of force necessary to control an incident, complete an arrest, or protect themselves and others from harm *Police should also ensure that any people injured in an incident receive immediate medical attention Male Drivers stopped in 2010 *among male drivers, 11% were physically searched. Among those searched, 22% were black, 17% were Hispanic, and 8% were white *White drivers were more likely to be stopped for speeding, and after being stopped, 78% of blacks, 85% of Hispanics, and only 70% of whites received a ticket Joe Keane :-)
