Fairfax Cop Uses Stun Gun On Man Who Does Not Appear To Be Resisting

The article is about a man who is not named who is harmed by a Fairfax police officer who also is not named. The article details the happenings before the police officer pulls out his stun gun and tasers the unarmed man. The incident took place in Fairfax County, Virginia. The incident happened approximately around the beginning of the month. The unidentified victim who was cooperating with the officer's requests was asked to lie on the officers hood and the victim does this. As he places his hands on the hood the officer pulls out his stun gun and tasers him and the victim drops to the ground where the officer proceeds to yell at him and tell him to get on the ground and roll over.

 
I chose to write about this topic because police brutality is a problem in this country, and men and women are being treated as less than human beings, some police officers are treating them like scum. I also chose to write about this article in order to get the case a Little more recognition than it currently has. So that the unidentified police officer can be brought to justice after tasering the unarmed man and getting away with it Scott free

Woman Says She Endured 8 Days In Psych Ward Because Cops Didn't Believe BMW Was Hers.

Woman Says She Endured 8 Days In Psych Ward Because Cops Didn't Believe BMW Was Hers

The article was about Kamilah Brock who was sent to a mental facility after being pulled over by a New York police officer when she stopped at a light. The police officer approached her and asked why she was driving without her hands on the steering wheel. She answered that she was dancing and then for no specific reason she was taken into custody and transported to the NYPD's 30th Precinct, where she was held for a few hours before being released without being charged with any crime. She said she was told to come back the next day to pick up her car. The next day, instead of being taken to her car she was instead taken to Harlem Hospital, where medical records show she was injected with powerful sedatives. The incident occurred in September of 2014.  After all this occurred she was given a bill of 13,000 that she had to pay for her involuntary stay at the mental ward. Kamilah Brown did nothing to deserve this type of treatment, she had no history of mental illness and she did own the BMW. 

I specifically chose this article to showcase the racial profiling and ingrained racial stereotypes that most police officers have instilled in them. It is infuriating that to this day black people are still considered not good enough, not smart enough, not educated enough to have and possess any sort of wealth and fortune.
