Police Violence By White Police Officers Against Black People
In the USA, there have been repeated cases in recent years of Police violence of white police officers using force against black people – and often without cause. Police can of course use force themselves to protect themselves from an attacker, but not against unarmed people and not lethal force if they can avoid it. However, in the last few years, there have been more and more cases of police violence, with white police officers increasingly shooting and killing unarmed and often peaceful African-Americans. One particularly tragic case occurred in November 2014, when a police officer shot and killed a 12-year-old black boy on a playground who had been playing with a plastic gun.
