Abstract
Throughout history, there has been long-standing conflict and palpable tension between law enforcement agencies and racial minority groups. Historically, and in the present day, being part of a minority group meant being prone to racialized stereotypes of being aggressive or dangerous (Yadon, 2022). This issue continues to be relevant within our society today. This paper will explore if there truly is a correlation and connection between race and police brutality and if they factor in each other. Studies will show whether certain races are more susceptible to police brutality; if certain races experience the most extreme forms of police brutality, and if there are personal biases within officers and who they may choose to profile. This paper will explore different evidentiary support that examines numerous accounts of whether police brutality can be justified.
