Analyzing Police Behavior in Retrospect

There are numerous examples of the need to effectively police, or perhaps monitor diligently, the activities and actions of the police. Perhaps the most eminent example of this emerging trend is evinced in the so-called Black Lives Matter movement, which is predicated on issuing social justice to African Americans who are routinely abused and even wantonly murdered by police officers allegedly doing their duties. In numerous instances, unarmed African American men were murdered by police.

An analysis of the death of Freddie Gray at the hands of police officers near the Maryland area was perhaps even more dubiousif less clear. Gray was arrested by officers in this region. The facts clearly indicate that when he was taken in police custody, he was relatively unharmed, alive, and for the most part well. There is also documented information which indicates Brown was also handcuffed as part of his arrest. What followed next is unclear. What is indisputable, however, is Gray was taken into police custody. Somehow, by the time he…
