One of the most serious and divisive human rights violations in the U.S. is abuse by law enforcement officers. The violations occur nationwide, in rural, suburban, and urban areas of the country, committed by various law enforcement personnel like local and state police, sheriff's departments, and federal agents. Police engaged in many unjustified shootings, severe beatings, fatal chokings, and unnecessarily rough treatment. The proportion of repeatedly abusive officers on any force is generally small, responsible authorities, including law enforcement supervisors, as well as local and federal government leadership,often fail to act to rpenalize or restrain such acts.
