This type of behavior includes verbal attacks and psychological intimidation, as well as excessive physical contact. It is one of several forms of police misconduct which includes, false arrest, racial profiling, political repression, surveillance abuse, sexual abuse and police corruption. How it Has Turned Into a Race Issue Contrary to the #BlackLivesMatter Movement Recognizes the law enforcement officers and first responders who put their lives on the line everyday Want to prove all lives matter Dehumanization the psychological process of: demonizing the enemy making them seem less than human This can lead to: Increased violence Human rights violations War crimes Genocide The Pullman Strike of 1894 The Lawrence Textile Strike of 1912 The Ludlow Massacre 1914 The Steel Strike of 1919 Hanapepe Massacre of 1924 Most middle-class whites have no idea what it feels like to be subjected to police who are routinely suspicious, rude, belligerent, and brutal. -Benjamin Spock $1.25 Scientifically prove that those with high power, tend to show more traits of Dehumanization The American Psychological Association conducted research that provides evidence that there is dehumanization by officers. Monday, February 22, 2016 History of Police Brutality Data Based Off Police Records, News Reports and Internet Research (Provided by News.Vice.com) Police Brutality What is it? First Account in 1877, The Great Railroad Strike The Great Railroad Strike of 1877 was the country's first major rail strike and witnessed the first general strike in the nation's history. Violent strikes broke out in Baltimore, Chicago, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and San Francisco. Governors in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia called out their state militias. In Pittsburgh, where the local militia sympathized with the rail workers, the governor called in National Guard troops from Philadelphia. The troops fired into a crowd, killing more than 20 civilians, including women and at least three children. #BlueLivesMatter Vol XCIII, No. 311 Police Brutality I.E., "Researchers tested 176 police officers average age 37, in large urban areas, to determine their levels of two distinct types of bias — prejudice and unconscious dehumanization of black people by comparing them to apes. To test for prejudice, researchers had officers complete a widely used psychological questionnaire with statements such as “It is likely that blacks will bring violence to neighborhoods when they move in.” To determine officers’ dehumanization of blacks, the researchers gave them a psychological task in which they paired blacks and whites with large cats, such as lions, or with apes. Researchers reviewed police officers’ personnel records to determine use of force while on duty and found that those who dehumanized blacks were more likely to have used force against a black child in custody than officers who did not dehumanize blacks. The study described use of force as takedown or wrist lock; kicking or punching; striking with a blunt object; using a police dog, restraints or hobbling; or using tear gas, electric shock or killing. Only dehumanization and not police officers’ prejudice against blacks — conscious or not — was linked to violent encounters with black children in custody, according to the study." (Atiba)
