Were in America is ther more police brutality?

Answer 1

One hopes that the answer is nowhere. However, police have their failings like any other profession and there are occasions when police personnel overstep the boundaries of professional behavior.

Figures relating to complaints against police activity are difficult to gather and collate and there is no simple answer to the question. It is safe to say that police organizations around the country generally take a great pride in their work and reputation. Most will actively investigate and punish those who do not uphold the standards that are expected of them. Perhaps there is a greater possibility of police wrong doing in remote, rural areas where there is less monitoring by colleagues and senior managers. In many cases, the actions are likely to be un-reported so official figures are probably not showing a true reflection of actual cases.

It is important to be cautious of many figures published for "brutality". There are many claims made by members of the public that are not substantiated. A heavy police reaction to a violent criminal might be entirely reasonable but can result in a claim of brutality by the criminal. There are numerous examples of drunk, violent bullies who are happy to dish out violence to others and then are shocked when the police use force to restrain and arrest them. This does not excuse those few officers who are too heavy handed and they should be found and removed from their positions.
