The news over the past several days has been dominated by cases of police brutality all over the country. Men in Louisiana and Minnesota have died at the hands of police, and these are just two of the many times this has occurred over the last few years.

On Tuesday, a video was released that showed two policemen from Baton Rouge, Louisiana murdering an African-American man named Alton Sterling while they were  holding him down on the ground. The video shows that he was not resisting the policemen’s actions. Just one day later, another African-American man named Philando Castile was in his car with his wife and daughter in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. Castile was then stopped by the police for a a defective tail light on his vehicle, a routine traffic stop. As he was reaching to his back pocket get his I.D in his wallet, which the police requested from him, the cop shot him. His wife streamed a video live on Facebook as he was dying in front of her.

Police brutality happens everywhere in this country and with updated technology, more and more cases of it are now out in the open for the public to be aware of, and courts to see and judge. In New York City, the police have been implicated in these brutality cases.
