The recent past has seen an uproar on brutality amongst the police on various minority groups in the US. A good number of citizens, especially the minority groups, believe that the police do not treat people equally as far as punishment is concerned. The last two years of the Obama administration were marked by disturbing news of police beating and even killing black people (Lowery, n.d., p. xx).  The situation was exacerbated when in some instances, people recorded live video of police brutality.  Such cases led to a backlash from the affected groups.  In the year 2017, out of the people killed, 25% were blacks. This is despite the fact that the group constitutes only 13% of the total population.
