11th Circuit Affirms Sheriff Victor Hill’s Abuse Conviction: Black Strawboss Handcuffed Inmates to Restraint Chairs for Up to 6 Hours at a Time in Atlanta Area Jail

ALTHOUGH DO-GOODER REFORMERS OFTEN CLAIM DIVERSE POLICE FORCES ARE A CURE FOR POLICE BRUTALITY, BLACK COPS BRUTALIZE AND HARM BLACK PEOPLE AT A RATE NEARLY EQUAL TO WHITE COPS. SAID DO-GOODERS ARE DRUNK-OFF THEIR JESUSIZED BELIEF IN STATISM. SCHOLAR ALEX VITALE STATES, “REFORMERS OFTEN CALL FOR RECRUITING MORE OFFICERS OF COLOR IN THE HOPES THAT THEY WILL TREAT COMMUNITIES WITH GREATER DIGNITY, RESPECT, AND FAIRNESS. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS LITTLE EVIDENCE TO BACK UP THIS HOPE. EVEN THE MOST DIVERSE FORCES HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH RACIAL PROFILING AND BIAS, AND INDIVIDUAL BLACK AND LATINO OFFICERS APPEAR TO PERFORM VERY MUCH LIKE THEIR WHITE COUNTERPARTS.” HE STATES, “THERE IS NOW A LARGE BODY OF EVIDENCE MEASURING WHETHER THE RACE OF THE INDIVIDUAL OFFICERS AFFECTS THEIR USE OF FORCE. MOST STUDIES SHOW NO EFFECT. MORE DISTRESSINGLY, A FEW INDICATE THAT BLACK OFFICERS ARE MORE LIKELY TO USE FORCE OR MAKE ARRESTS, ESPECIALLY OF BLACK CIVILIANS.” [MORE] and [MORE]AND [MORE]
