One source that connects to my research question is “City’s Police Brutality Report Card: Complaints Down, Needs Improving” by Selwyn Raab. An important idea that came out of this source is that “members of minority groups and new immigrants are more likely than others to be severely mistreated by the police” (1). The author explains, “They fear that new immigrants and new arrivals in the city are new arrivals in the city are unwashed hordes about to take over the streets” (1). This quote shows how the police abuse people because of their racist background and perceptions. This connects to my research question because it shows that people of color get abused by the police.
