    What’s striking in the progression of these later studies is a steady decrease in the number of people having interactions with the police—from about 45 million in 2002 to 40 million in 2011—or from about 21 percent of the 16-and-older population to about 17 percent.

    More important, perhaps, was that reports of use of force by police also fell, from 664,000 in 2002 to 574,000 in a 2010 report. Those declines occurred across all races. The number of African-Americans reporting that police used force against them fell from 173,000 to 130,000. Among whites, the number has dropped from a peak of 374,000 to 347,000.

    In the most recent survey, in 2011, 88.2 percent of those stopped by the police said they thought officers acted properly. There were few significant distinctions by race. Nearly 83 percent of African-Americans judged police behavior to be proper, for instance.

    A Massachusetts man allegedly assaulted seven police officers on early Tuesday morning following a traffic stop.

    Revere police say they pulled over Joseph Parker, 34, after they noticed him allegedly speeding. One officer told him to slow down, which is when Parker allegedly lost it, getting out of the car and waving his arms about, claiming that he was videotaping the officers, CBS Boston reports.

    He also made repeated references to Ferguson, Missouri, where protestors have taken to the streets for the past week to commemorate the death of Michael Brown, who was killed in an altercation with Officer Darren Wilson last year.

    Then Parker allegedly punched one of the officers, who hit his head on the concrete pavement and was knocked out. The other officers tried to restrain him, but Parker kept fighting them even as he was put in a police cruiser, officials say.

    In the car, he then took off his shoes and began hitting the car's windows in an attempt to break them. Police say they fired a Taser at Parker five times, but it had little effect.

    Once at the Revere police station, police say that Parker seemed to show "signs of remorse," but then attacked the officers again, severely injuring one man's leg. That officer ended up being taken to the hospital.

    Police believe that Parker was under the influence of drugs.

    However, a lawyer for the 34-year-old said that Parker was merely having a bad reaction to medication, CBS Boston reports. Parker has pleaded not guilty to a long list of charges, including multiple counts of assault and battery on a police officer.

    Agreed. As I've said before tasers are wildly ineffective, should have mag dumped on him. And nice to see you finally accept Mike Brown got what he deserved.

    Police shootings, especially ,unarmed, happen much more often to minorities.

    Sandra Bland blew up because of twitter. It was trending heavily on Twitter and then began getting picked up by various sites like Huffington post and then it started getting run nationally. Thats because many of these cases involved black victims which I've already proven. For everyone that blows up there are three or four that don't.

    12 cops murdering 2 unarmed people and getting no jail time barely got national run, if any, Neither did John Crawford but Freddie Grey did (because of social media and Black Lives Matter). Garner did because the video went viral. Blacks are very active on social media, these stories are getting picked up and ran nationally.

    Everyone has camera's now and more and more cops are being asked to wear body cameras. Social media and the prevalence of cameras and increased pressure on police (justifiably so) have changed national media coverage in the past three or four years.

    You really are reaching to make it seem like the media are ignoring whites here. Thats the exact opposite, Whites aren't labeled as terrorist when they commit mass shootings. Minority missing children are ignored by news outlets but a Caucasian child going missing, has had much different coverage (Holloway, Anthony, Smart).

    BTW there was a case this year (Arizona, I think) where a white guy got the beat out of him after he surrendered by laying on the ground with his hands behind his head. I saw that on the national news and he was rewarded a large payout.


    When media shows bias in favor of minorities for once is suddenly an issue?

    the media is portraying police brutality is if they are specifically targeting certain minorities. if you only followed national stories, you'd think the police are on a constant man-hunt for blacks and never bother whites

    every story with a white assailant and black victim is drawn out and dramatized, when any other combination of races is seemingly ignored

    Again blacks and Hispanics combine for 2/3rds of all unarmed killings by police this year. despite combining to make up less than 1/3 of the population. Police are killing shooting them much more often than Caucasian victims. Whether or not the media is portraying it that way the police are clearly more trigger happy when it comes to minorities.

    Police aren't on man hunts for minorities but then again they did just shoot an unarmed man running away 8 times. Kind of reminds me of the "Most Dangerous Game".


    The police deserve the extra scrutiny, they cost tax payers billions. A cop strangled Garner to death and still has a job, while N.Y tax payers are paying out $6 million.

    Libcucks love state power when it's used to fund their handouts, but hate it when criminals who aren't old rich white guys get arrested.

    What percentage of violent crime are Blacks/Hispanics responsible for? Do you think the disproportionate percentage may have something to do with the itchy trigger finger? I'm not saying it is acceptable but I can understand why it happens considering.

    I'm not saying stereotyping on the basis of race by the police is acceptable, only that it's reasonable and understandable.

    Each case is unique but the only thing linking them(unarmed shootings) is the police and their laughable over reactions. They escalate situations and wind up killing unarmed people then get off while tax payers have to bail them out.

    I can't understand why it keeps happening. If you can understand why cops racially profile minorities then I can certainly understand why Blacks and Hispanics have deep mistrust for the police. When a sketchy shooting of an unarmed minority goes down, people essentially put the victim on trial and if their isn't video the cop walks the vast majority of the time.

    Care to comment on your boys in blue costing tax payers billions or you going to avoid responding as usual?

    minority cops racially profile minorities. Profiling in general is part of policing, race plays a factor simply because of how the crime percentages play out in the areas patrolled. Cops in Portland profile differently than cops in New Orleans.

    Unfortunate happens that's life. Use of force is declining that is a good thing, you don't feel like it's declining because everything is uploaded to social media these days.

    stats aren't kept on excessive force, but there is data to indicate police killings have been on the rise in the last 15 years:

    According to a study by the CDC, based on data from medical examiners and coroners, killings by law enforcement officers (not including legal executions) was the most distinctive cause of death in Nevada, New Mexico, and Oregon between 2001 and 2010. In these states, the rate of killings by law enforcement officers were higher above national averages than any other cause of death considered.[17][18] The database used to generate those statistics, the CDC WONDER Online Database, has a US total of 5,511 deaths by "Legal Intervention" for the years 1999-2013 (3,483 for the 2001-2010 used to generate the report) excluding the subcategory for legal execution.[19]

    that PDs refuse to keep stats on their own conduct (as required by law) doesn't refute claims that policing has become more violent and more deadly.

    nice dodge, though

    Blacks are more likely to be pulled over and searched than whites. Blacks are also more likely to be pulled over for reasons other than Speeding. It's easy to see where that leads to.

    Chalking up racial profiling in general as happens is ,ridiculous to me . Its their job to "protect and serve" if they assume that Blacks and Hispanics are more likely to be up to know good, that kind of defeats the purpose. They're rightfully afraid of the police.

    Police have killed 607 people in roughly 235 days this year. It doesn't seem like that. At the very least we should be able to agree the police need body cameras to protect citizens and in some cases themselves from blame.

    Your odds of being killed while unarmed go up dramatically if you decide to fight the police or resist arrest.
