police misconduct

Police Misconduct has been a growing epidemic in the United States. Police take advantage of their power as law enforcers in which they do not follow the laws they enforce. As a human, you must follow all laws no matter what. Some citizens experience police brutallity, in which the police take advantage of police procedures, in some cases aren't neccessary. One Very popular case that caught the medias' attention on police brutality is the rodney king case.
In the rodney king case, a man by the name of rodney king was savagely beat by a number of LA police. On March 3,1991, King was speed driving intoxicated and was pulled over.Their boots, billy clubs, and Tasers, beat the 25 year-old into the history books. It was uneccessary for the police to beat him for a such thing and he did not resist arrest. that was a form a police brutality and racial discrimination in the police work force. Out of all the police cops that beat him only four were acquitted. Both the force and the federal government didnt follow the procedures for such things to happen again. they should have made an example out of it to educate the minds of those who plan on doing things like that.
