The Way You Are Dressed Is A Justification For Police Brutality - Mercyalinok

“Look the way you should be addressed… looking this way at odd hours and then resisting arrest actually could create suspicion.”

This comment unfairly justifies police brutality by blaming the victim’s appearance and actions rather than focusing on the actual issue — the excessive force used by authorities. While it’s important to consider context in any situation, assuming guilt or justification for mistreatment based on how someone looks during an arrest perpetuates harmful stereotypes. No one deserves to be harmed or mistreated simply because of their appearance.
