This to me implies that there needs to be\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/blog\/up-front\/2019\/11\/04\/highlights-improving-police-culture-in-america\/\">an \u201cenemy.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0In cities and, increasingly, suburban and rural areas, the enemy is often those \u201cothers\u201d who are perceived to be criminally inclined.<\/p>\n<p>The consequences of this militarized police mentality can be deadly, especially for black Americans.<\/p>\n<p>A study of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ajph.aphapublications.org\/doi\/10.2105\/AJPH.2018.304559\">police-involved deaths between 2012 and 2018<\/a>\u00a0found that on average, police kill 2.8 men every day in the U.S. The risk of death at the hands of an officer was found to be between 3.2 and 3.5 times higher for black men compared to white men.<\/p>\n<p>And there appears to be a correlation between militarization and police violence. A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/2053168017712885\">2017 study<\/a>\u00a0analyzed spending by police departments against police-involved fatalities.

When a county goes from receiving no military equipment to $2,539,767 worth (the largest figure that went to one agency in our data), more than twice as many civilians are likely to die in that county the following year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And it isn\u2019t just individuals who suffer. Behavioral scientist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/publichealth.berkeley.edu\/people\/denise-herd\/\">Denise Herd<\/a>\u00a0has studied the community effect of police violence. Writing in the Boston University Law Review earlier this year,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/bulawreview\/files\/2020\/05\/09-HERD.pdf\">she concluded<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cviolent encounters with police produce a strong ripple effect of diminishing the health and well-being of residents who simply live in areas where their neighbors are killed, hurt, or psychologically traumatized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The trauma from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2020\/05\/30\/video-timeline-george-floyd-death\/?arc404=true\">video of George Floyd in clear distress while a uniformed officer knelt on his neck<\/a>\u00a0is evident in the reaction it has provoked.<\/p>\n<p>The need to address the escalation of police confrontations \u2013 both during protests and in individual encounters \u2013 was a focus of the last big push for police reform, after the killing of a unarmed black man in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. As with the case of George Floyd, it led to violent scenes in which protesters confronted militarized officers.<\/p>\n<p>Just months after the Ferguson unrest, President Obama set up his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cops.usdoj.gov\/pdf\/taskforce\/taskforce_finalreport.pdf\">Task Force on 21st Century Policing<\/a>. It recommended the implementation of training and policies that \u201cemphasize de-escalation.\u201d It also called on police to employ tactics during protests \u201cdesigned to minimize the appearance of a military operation and avoid using provocative tactics and equipment that undermine civilian trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By the evidence of the last few days, a number of police departments have failed to heed the message.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Tom Nolan is Visiting Associate Professor of Sociology at Emmanuel College<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The unrest sparked by the\u00a0death of George Floyd after being pinned to the ground by the knee of a Minneapolis police officer\u00a0has left parts of U.S. cities looking like a battle zone.
