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.

Police Misconduct In LA County Jail

A report from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) says that jail inmates in Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail are routinely subject to brutal beatings at the hands of jail guards and fellow inmates. This was reported by inmates, relatives, and other sources. Many are asking for the facility to close after these horrible details were reported. One county jail inmate who was beaten while handcuffed and had both ankles broken after being repeatedly struck by a group of deputies with their flashlights. Then a sex offender in the jail was purposely placed him in the population of all, and as a result, he was beaten by fellow inmates to the point that he passed uncontrollable bowel movements. Mary Tiedman, one of the report’s authors, stated she regularly sees prisoners with black eyes, broken bones, and boot marks on prisoners’ bodies, trying to indicate the injuries were caused by jail guards, who are the only people in the jail permitted to wear hard shoes.
