Social issue- police brutality 

Police brutality refers to the act of police applying force and behaving in an inhuman way to attack civilians. They apply behaviour suggesting abuse and misconduct to people by beating them physically, verbal attacks, and intimidating people psychologically. This behavior is experienced in many countries where different forms of police misconduct are applied. For example; false arrest, sexual abuse, police corruption, surveillance abuse, political repression, racial profiling, as well as intimidation are among the different abusive behaviours (Rodriguez, 302). Police brutality is illegal in many countries, but police officers still practice it in their stations.
