Defunding the Police Departments does not mean disbanding law enforcement. Excess funds can be distributed to other services (education, healthcare, housing, ect.)

This article really shows what it looks when the community doesn't feel safe and how the people are moving to make it safe and put money somewhere else.

I'm glad that this article gives the information this country needs when talking about defunding the police. Many interpret that in the wrong way which has divided our country even more.

This article provides information about the shootings done by police in 2015. It provides different situations that all lead to police shootings.

This seems like a comprehensive collection of police shooting occurrences. When doing any research paper about law enforcement it would definitely be helpful. It is horrible that unjust killings exist.

It is hard to discern the situation after-the-fact. Police officers are put into life-threatening situations but many times, they are dealing with someone who has a mental illness. In addition, the insurmountable evidence of police brutality is undeniable. I think we should re-evaluate our shoot first, ask questions later approach.

Police are supposed to respect all human rights but this talks about the police doing some racial profiling. People want to pass an act called the End racial Profiling Act.

This site tackles both sides to a rather controversial topic. It brings in statistical data regarding both excessive and reasonable force. It discusses the tarnished relationship between the police and minority populations. It also briefly touches on how there isn't reliable data to appropriately distinguish police brutality patterns. The site also touches on topics of characteristics of suspects, use of "less lethal" weapons and body cameras for police officers.

This site provides a lot of information on the power of a police officer. There are a few things I personally was not aware of. It is scary how much power they have. I like this site because it provides the steps an officer or yourself would take, beginning to end.

I like that this website notifies you of what police can and cannot do. Not everyone knows the laws like we should so things like this can be a lifesaver. It is important to know when you are being taken advantage of even if it is an authority member doing so.

This article compiles different studies showing that a culture of racism in police departments disproportionately leads to the harassment and killings of unarmed black men. It also suggests solutions that could lessen police brutality and bring accountability to cops who commit crimes of violence and murder.

This article outlines how deceiving, and even ignorant the Black Lives Matter movement really is to claim that police are racist. A Harvard Law professor and his students conducted a experiment compiled of more than 3,000 hours of data, and concluded that in fact there is a race that is more likely to be shot by police, Caucasians, as there will be the least blow-back, or media coverage from the public about racial tensions, and racist police officers. The Black Lives Matter organization as of late is based off of the idea that police are killing in cold blood based off the idea that the victims are black. This idea is ludicrous and has been debunked several times before in the past. However BLM uses deceit and raises lots of money in order to recruit, train, and buy weapons for shooters such as Micah Xavier Johnson did in Dallas. The BLM organization has strong ties, and was founded by the Black Panthers, a known terrorist organization that targets Caucasians and police officers. It deeply saddens me that people can so easily tie themselves to a movement with such rotten foundations, which is deceiving millions of innocent people and taking advantage of them, using them as martyrs.

Illustrates some facts regarding the 'school to prison pipeline' metaphor. More schools are adopting policies that make students interact with police more and more. This then causes students to be more likely to go to prison.

I don't think that interacting with police is what causes students to be more likely to go to prison. If the police are in the schools and positively interacting with students, I feel that the students are made to be more aware of their decisions. However, if it is one of the schools in a very poor community that has a high crime rate and a lot of drugs, then those kids are prison bound no matter if they interact with police or not. I am not saying all those kids are bad, but the bad eggs are heading that way regardless.

This site directly tackles the topic of racial profiling by the police department. It discusses the lack of knowledge and understanding which can cause uncertainty on both the parts of the police officers and persons of different ethnic backgrounds. The website tackles ways to develop a more positive relationship between police and the communities they oversee.

The article explains the disproporationate amount of deaths in African American individuals in the United States in comparison to their counterpart. As well as the psychological effects on their communities. It explains that most agencies don't even have a policy to enforce against police brutality.

This website tells the basics of Police Powers & Human Rights. Gives an example of the issues that happened in Ferguson, Missouri.

Negative news coverage, social media reports, and viral videos of police interaction, which has a negative impact on how law enforcement is viewed. Not every report is the cop not doing his/her job correctly. The news is not always truthful. Police are not appreciated for their dangerous job.

Respectfully, I think a website named "cops" talking about police may have a little bias supporting one side of the argument. It's really important to remember this because this concept may invalidate a paper in the future!

I agree with the article and your stance on this. Police officers definitely receive a lot more flack than they deserve for simply doing their jobs.

Police brutality has been an ongoing issue in America and does not seem to be solve any time soon. The article does state that there is somewhat progress at fixing the problem but the progression is very minimum. From King nearly getting beat to death to Brown getting gunned down by officer unarmed.

A shocking but relevant article in regards to the police shootings, happening everyday around the nation. It is now more media driven with the body camera the officers are wearing. Extreme cases like this that our men in blue deal with on a day to day basis and are scrutinized.

On this website there is talk of a law that prohibits citizens of recording police work. With all the spot lights faced upon police brutality lately this is a hot topic.

News on police brutality. This page is notifying Americans what is happening each and every day to our police officers.

This article talks about the history of police brutality over the course of Americas history

I actually was going to pick the same article. This article shows the history and how police brutality has changed and increased over the years.

This site contains a long article regarding police brutality and racism. It focuses on the statistical data which shows that African-American men are more likely to be targets of police brutality and the article tries to rationalize why this might be. It also talks about how these attacks or acts of brutality change how people of color and or people, in general, view the police.
