Police Brutality

A Protestor holds a photo of Frank Jude Jr. during a march from the Milwaukee County Courthouse to the Federal Courthouse on April 18, 2006 in Milwaukee to protest the recent verdict of the three former police officers who were allegedly involved in the beating of Frank Jude Jr., a biracial man, on October 2004. An all-white jury acquitted the three white off duty officers of most charges on April 15. 
Though it may not be believed since 9/11 there has been more cases in which police, prison guards and many other law enforcement has been said to have used excessive force. They have violated victim's civil rights. In Chicago there was more than 10,000 complaints that were filed against police officers between the years of 2002 and 2004.Then In Milwaukee last year, Frank Jude and Lovell Harris were brutally beaten by three police officers who were not convicted. This led to public outrage in the city. This left the love ones in a state of turmoil and disarray.
