Click for the paper.

Summary:
This document states that the police have a higher amount of power than most groups, and in the United States, they have a tendency to misuse this power fairly often. To evidence this, the police in the United States kill at a rate that is many times higher than other developed countries. In addition to this, black people are greatly overrepresented on the receiving end of this violence despite the fact that they are less likely to be armed.

The document ends stating that officers are rarely held accountable for wrongful deaths.
