Police officers and prison guards are employed to protect citizens from harm. Police officers should use only an amount of force that is reasonably necessary to effectively bring an incident under control, while protecting the lives of the officers and others. The law protects all citizens, including people accused or convicted of crimes, from violence at the hands of the police.

Excessive force is considered to be a common type of police brutality. Even though police brutality was largely ignored in the past, the realities have been brought into the public eye in recent years. And actually this happened due to high profile cases of egregious abuse. Police brutality is no longer tolerated, and many officers have been convicted of criminal assault charges. Most of people who suffer police brutality did not commit a crime and were not even in the process of being arrested when the assault occured.
