Editing Police brutality (section)

=== United States ===
There have been many cases of police brutality in US history, most against African American, Asian American and Native American citizens, immigrants, or protesters at protests. During the mid-50s and early 70s, there was an FBI program called [[COINTELPRO]], which served for the repression and espionage of African-American, communist, feminist organizations or simply dissidents to the government. Even today there are many cases of Native American, and African American civilians (and occasionally whites, Hispanics or immigrants) killed or severely tortured by American police officers, such as Rodney King, Tamir Rice, Rayshard Brooks, Loreal Tsingine, Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, George Floyd, Angelo Quinto and Joseph Finley Jr., etc.
