I think the way people describe police brutality is sometimes justified, sometimes exaggerated, and sometimes misunderstood. With cell phone videos and audio capabilities being used to capture police brutality it is often easy to agree with those people who are being brutalized. Sometimes police body cameras offer a different view of the same situation.

I think it is easier to agree with people who have been physically hurt by police brutality then it is for those who claim they were mistreated by being falsely arrested, racially profiled, or otherwise verbally abused. Either way it is sad that this situation continues to occur.

I think people who are trying to advocate against police brutality will talk about it in a way that elicits emotions. These advocates will describe police brutality in a way that humanizes the victim and may de-humanize the police.

In reality, both the victims of police brutality and the police officers are human and involved in complex situations that involve human emotions and reactions. Accusations of police brutality need to be taken seriously and investigated in order to figure out where the truth lies. Victims of police brutality are often under-represented in court however and may not always get the justice they deserve.
