US police killed more than 1,000 people in 2019, almost a quarter of them of African-American descent. Why?
The concept, created and reinforced in a series of US Supreme Court rulings over the course of 50 years, seeks to protect government employees from "excessive" and "frivolous" litigation.
“That combination leads to arrogance of a police officer who can kill a man in broad daylight while being taped and believe he can get away with it,” said Browne-Marshall, who teaches constitutional law. “When there are no consequences, that’s when people act with impunity.” Police reforms over the past few years, kicked into high gear after the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, have led to officers in some states having to wear body cams and being banned from using chokeholds and neck restraints. Lousiville police said theythe number of situations body cams will be worn in after officers shot and killed Breonna Taylor, a black medic, in her own house in March this year.
Racial biases and these structures work together to maintain the status quo on police violence, making the task of weeding out racial bias in police officers tricky.
