What is Police Brutality in New York?

It is important to understand that law enforcement officials have an extremely stressful job to do every day. Some of the duties of the job involve force or violence to arrest or subdue a suspect, depending on how dangerous the suspect is to the public and the police.

Unfortunately, there are many instances where officers abuse their authority and cause undue harm to the people they are sworn to protect. Police brutality is defined as physical violence inflicted by officers on a helpless or restrained individual.

Types of Police Brutality

Common examples of police brutality and misconduct include:

• Excessive and unnecessary physical violence
• Degrading and unnecessary strip searches
• Unjustified use of deadly force
• False arrest
• Misuse of K-9 units
• Denying a suspect medical assistance
