An idea that is rarely suggesed would be to have the Police Commissioner be a competitive, elective office akin to Sheriff or some judicial posts. This would allow for a modicum of public opinion a necessary feature of all elective politics. Oddly, this suggestion is not often made.
Police brutality has been reported to have increased since the 9/11 attacks, but there are no published statistics on the frequency of police brutality actions.
Collective Opposed to Police Brutality was created in 1995.
There can be no justification for brutality. The job of the police is to protect and defend.
No-one should "do" police brutality, that's why it's called brutality rather than reasonable force, which is what police officers should use.
The arguments against police brutality are generally of three types. 1) The police job is to enforce the law and bring the perpetrator to justice...not to assume guilt or innocence. 2) The police look bad when they use police brutality. If is a poor role model for behavior. People can think, well..if the police can beat people up, why can't I? 3) Most important it sends a terrible message to others about the credibility (believability) of the system or state which allows police brutality to happen. Therefore, if police brutality becomes acceptable in a place, over time the public becomes aware of this and ends up ostracizing (avoiding) the state or area in which this occurs.Eventually the public trust in the legal system is undermined when police brutality is allowed to continue.

Your question cannot be answered. Police brutality in the US is both a crime and a civil rights violation. There is no 'use' for it.
