Jim Crow laws, established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, enforced racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans in the United States. These laws contributed to systemic racism, influencing police practices that disproportionately targeted Black communities through profiling, excessive force, and discriminatory enforcement. The legacy of Jim Crow continues to affect modern policing, leading to ongoing discussions about racial bias, accountability, and reform within law enforcement agencies.
Racial Volunteer Force was created in 2002.
Eric Garner was suspected of selling loose cigarettes, which is considered a violation of New York City's regulations against the sale of untaxed tobacco products. His encounter with police escalated when officers attempted to arrest him, leading to a struggle during which an officer applied a chokehold. Garner repeatedly stated, "I can't breathe," before losing consciousness and later dying. His death ignited widespread protests and discussions about police use of force and racial profiling.

Police use of excessive force and allegations of police brutality received significant media attention in the late 1990s, following high-profile cases such as the beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles in 1991 and the shooting of Amadou Diallo in New York City in 1999. These incidents led to increased scrutiny of police tactics and training, as well as efforts to hold law enforcement officers accountable for misconduct.
The beating of Rodney King by police officers in 1991 was a result of excessive force during a traffic stop. The incident was caught on video, sparking outrage and leading to national debates on police brutality and racial injustice.
Proving racial profiling by police is very difficult. First, you would have to prove that the officer knew you were of a different race when he/she detained/arrested you, and second, you would have to prove that the actions they took were based on your race alone, and not on your actions. If you really wanted to try to prove that an individual officer was racist, or taking undue or excessive actions against people because of their race, you would have to look at statistics of their arrests, contacts, tickets, etc., and see just who the officer contacts. Next you'd have to eliminate officers who police areas that are heavily populated by minorities. (A white officer in a black or Muslim neighborhood would only have blacks or Muslims to contact.) You would also have to look at what actions the officer took after the contact was made. Is the officer allowing whites (or blacks or Hispanics) off with only a warning, while people of other races always get tickets or arrested? Look at an officer's uses of force: are they always justified? Who does he/she typically use force against? (Again you have to eliminate neighborhoods that are predominantly of one culture or race.) Is an entire agency guilty of racial profiling? Apply the same questions to the agency as a whole. Ask: Does the agency teach officers how not to racially profile? Teach them to respect other cultures? Hold officers accountable for behaving appropriately when policing minorities? Unfortunately, in my experience, complaints of racial profiling are usually just complaints that the officer made me do something I didn't want to do, or stopped me from doing something I wanted to do and I am throwing out the race card without seriously looking at whether I broke the law.
