Seventeen people of color were killed due to police brutality in 2014. Many more were killed in the past. The only punishment the officers faced was paid leave from service. None of the families were given justice. Racial profiling reinforces the stereotypes that have already ruined so many families lives.

Racial profiling is the use of an individual’s race or ethnicity by law enforcement to determine whether to engage in enforcement. “Eric Garner died after being placed in an illegal choke hold while being arrested for selling loose cigarettes” (Parker).Although he was illegally selling cigarettes, he did not deserve to die, especially in an illegal choke hold.
