I feel like there can be impacts on these parts of my fire project issue. Economic for example, can cause some police departments to get rid of police officers who take things to the next level and gives them less people to work on the work force and less payments to worry about. Also if anyone was to break the law and take things in their own hands against people outside of the workforce, they can possibly get sued and lose money either from that police officer or the police department. A political issue that can affect police brutality is the law. It can be either for the people or against the people and it has worked both ways for the past couple of years. For example, the indigment of the police officer who killed Eric garner didn’t get sent to jail or had to pay the consequences.
According to apha.org it states that “Encourages health and mental health personnel and organizations to report episodes of police abuse of force and violence to criminal justice authorities and independent community-based review boards, and that legal statutes provide protection against recrimination for such reports”. Not only am I focusing on the US being this cruel, there are a lot more countries that have police officials that act the same way or if not even worse. I forgot to mention that there are more than just regular police but there are many types of ways people have different jobs to “serve and protect”. I never mentioned the police that make sure trespassers come through a specific location. ICE police for example have made things hard for people in this country for making people feel unsafe and unfair. Theres been a time when one of these guys believed one of my family members from texas was an undocumented person who wasn’t born in the US and stopped him because of his color sskin and the accent he made speaking to them. According to iacenter.org it states that “ In 12 years of enforcing the 1996 deportation laws, no one bothered to ask whether ICE actually focused on the target group—undocumented immigrants convicted of serious, violent crimes. We now know that a good number of people who are here legally and who are convicted of nonviolent offenses are regularly swept into the dragnet.”
