This article discusses police brutality in America which is carried out in the form of verbal abuse and discrimination against citizens because of their gender and sexuality. Homophobia is a problem even for the police, and this leads to the victims getting punished instead of the criminals because of the biased attitudes of lawmakers.

This paper is a case study that reveals how police brutality can be tackled in the U.S. The answer put forward by the author is a democracy, whereby the State has the right to exercise control constitutionally, and if the law has its effect on the police, then that model can be followed by other nations as well.

This paper outlines the force exerted by the police and its extent to brutality. The police cannot be harsher in treatment above the limits prescribed by the law. However, officers do follow their own way. Moreover, police abuse remains unaffected by community policing and other methods of control.
