And why it matters that we see police violence in this light.
Police brutality also has massive indirect effects on public health by breeding mistrust in the institutions meant to keep us safe
Furthermore, mistrust in one institution tends to carry over into others. “Police represent ‘the man,’ whatever that man means to you…they represent in people’s minds the systems that are [working] against them,” Dr. Benjamin explains. So a lack of confidence in the police “trickles down to other institutions” and contributes to a broader “distrust of government in our society, [distrust] of anyone who’s [in] a uniform,” Dr. Benjamin says.
It reshapes how we think about police violence—for the general public, its victims, and its perpetrators Naming police violence as a public health issue may also lessen the stigma that keeps many of its victims silent. “For people in certain communities, and if you’re Black or if you’re indigenous, the fact that [police violence] is systemic is obvious in [many] cases,” Feldman says. “But even for people on the receiving end...they feel a sense of shame over being targeted by police and like they can't share it.
