In this topic, we will discuss the racial profiling of minorities and as well as how it leads to police brutality as well as harsher sentences based on race.
In this summer, there were reported deaths of African-American children and men alike who were killed by police despite being unarmed. Eric Garner of Staten Island was killed by a chokehold which is illegal in the police force, Michael Brown was shot multiple times from behind recently in Ferguson, Missouri despite being unarmed, and then as of now Ezell Ford who was shot by a LAPD officer three despite following orders AND on the ground.
What's more that when it comes to prisons, there's also racial bias there as well. Since African-Americans are more likely to go to jail based on drug offenses than whites despite the same amount.
