It’s an unfortunate truth about the racial profiling by some members of the police that put minorities in dangerous situations sometimes that can result in horrible scenarios. The mission of the Police Brutality Center is to provide help and support for these people and we can also answer any questions or offer guidance for those affected or their families. Check out our advocacy site below:
Police Brutality Center – policebrutalitycenter.org
What’s important to us is providing resources and help for those families that are affected.
