What Is Police Brutality?

Police brutality refers to instances where law enforcement officers use more force than necessary during an encounter. This can include:

  • Unjustified shootings

  • Physical assaults or beatings

  • Excessive use of tasers or pepper spray

  • Chokeholds or positional asphyxiation

  • K-9 attacks without cause

  • Denial of medical attention in custody

When these actions go beyond what is legally acceptable, they may constitute violations of your constitutional rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.
