Most police officers do an amazing job at what they do: protecting and serving the American people. Despite this, there is a serious problem with some cops assuming that their badges grant them extra rights. Last year, police killed 1,100 Americans. The first five months of 2015 saw 476 deaths at the hands of American police, with over 1,100 predicted by the end of the year.
You may think that these numbers seem low, considering there are over 300 million Americans. But, when you consider the killing rate of our police officers in comparison with the law enforcement of other countries, it is very embarrassing.
Japanese police killed one person last year in a country with over 100 million citizens. Icelandic police only killed one person in its entire history. And, to top if off, American police have a murder rate worst than the homicide rates of the two most violent countries in the world.

Gee. A police state.
Lol I have never been arrested before and i don’t go out and protest I have seen a lot of bruilty by a lot of bad camps that have been recorded by USA citizens
I believe they use too much force, but only on the right people. It’s a wash.
I don’t buy this.
People are complaining that crime and violence is on the rise, but you are complaining about police violence is rising too. The criminals now a days are more violent than in the past and they know that if they complain police brutality that they stand a good chance on getting off. LET THE POLICE DO THE JOB THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TRAINED FOR AND PUT AN END TO THE RISING CRIME RATE IN THE COUNTRY, NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES. A PERSON THAT BREAKS THE LAW SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH!
And most of the protesters have the right to protest its the number 1 commdent and most protesting I have seen live from people recording they do not have any sort of weapons on them and the police still attack them I don’t think that’s right
There is a huge factor being left out, 1. criminals are more violent. and certainly other people are more confrontational. The officers most likely aren’t given any other option. Criminals are attacking the police because like their mentor they wish to commit crime without punishment.
They are only violent when they are forced to be! If you want to downgrade something look at Planned Parenthood.They are murdering innocent babies and profiting from it!

If thugs would comply with the police, the police would not have to resort to being violent!!!
