New
York Police Brutality Lawyer
Police brutality is a term
used to describe the excessive
use of physical force, assault,
verbal attacks, and threats
by police officers and other
law enforcement officers.
Abuse by law enforcement
officers in the United States
is one of the most serious
and divisive human rights
violations in the country.
The violations persist nationwide,
in rural, suburban, and urban
areas of the country, committed
by various law enforcement
personnel including local
and state, sheriff's departments,
and federal agents.

Brutality is one
of several forms of officer
misconduct which include:
- false arrest
- intimidation
- racial profiling
- political repression
- surveillance abuse
- sexual abuse
- corruption
There is often a racial
or ethnic component to abuse
cases in New York City, with
many incidents also fueled
by language barriers and
miscommunication in the culturally
diverse city. In the city's
Civilian Complaint Review
Board's (CCRB) semiannual
report for the first half
of 1997, African-Americans
and Latinos filed 78% of
complaints against the department.
The force, at the time, was
68% white.
Even if you are justly arrested,
you do have the human civil
rights to be safe of harm
in any environment you are
in. The code of ethics states
that it is their "fundamental
duty to serve mankind; to
safeguard lives and property;
to protect the innocent against
deception, the weak against
oppression or intimidation,
and the peaceful against
violence or disorder; and
to respect the Constitutional
rights of all men to liberty,
equality and justice."
