Looking for Accountability in Police-Involved Deaths of Blacks

Ein Berlicht mit Statistik
11 cases have fueled outrage, heightened racial tensions and instigated protests around the nation. In some of the cases, the police offered an explanation for their actions, but raw videos led many to conclude that the police actions were unjustified.
So far, officers have been indicted
in five cases. In four cases, grand
juries declined to bring charges.

In the cases listed above, images of questionable police behavior were captured on video, which helped to stoke anger across the country. Officers in all the cases were placed on administrative leave or reassigned soon after the episodes. That is a routine step before an internal investigation and is not a form of discipline, said Christopher Dunn, the associate legal director at the New York Civil Liberties Union.
