I think that police brutality is awful as we are supposed to trust them with our lives when we are in danger or if someone else is in danger. This does occur everywhere but in some places you may hear about it more than other places. Some of them go way too far when using force. Fortunately we have not had too much of a problem with that here where I live but it has been in the news in other areas.

Under the patrioy act they're no longer taking the law into their own hands..they're actually carrying out the law. Because police brutality now falls under 'doing whatever it takes to keep the order and the peace'. Yeah, it exists. And it's becoming more common. Not just in America..but everywhere.

Like in any other profession,we hear all about the negative ones and the positive ones get ignored. It is a sad fact that police brutality has happened and will continue to occur despite all efforts to stop it.

There's always two side in everything in the world Brightside and dark side, the policemen too of course. I read and watch many news about brutality policeman made, and make some victim. It depend the own personality, if they had something wrong in their personality, I think it can manyfest in what they do, just like other human. I think it must be a good personality lesson in their police academy for make a good personality policeman.
