Some more forms of police brutality have been elaborated on below
Baton beatings – The moment a suspect has been subdued with a baton, the police are trained and required to stop using it any further. Also, many law enforcement units simply prohibit their officers from using batons on the heads of people, because it can very easily lead to paralysis, brain/spinal cord injuries, and even death.
Gun usage – We all know about the recent events where some innocent person lost their life because of misuse of firearms by a tiny select few in the law enforcement community. Officers should resort to guns as an absolute last resort or in order to protect themselves from being fired at. Sadly, this is not always the case and officers that violate these rules must most certainly be held accountable.
High speed chases – When a high speed chase turns too dangerous and there is a risk that a third party might get hurt in the chase, officers should call it off. Once again, time and again, we have seen officers persist and it never ends well; though this is a tough since no one likes it when criminals get away and put others in danger.
