There have been many cases of police brutality in US history, most against African 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 African American civilians killed by American police officers, such as Rodney King, Tamir Rice, Jacob Blake or George Floyd. | There have been many cases of police brutality in US history, most against African American citizens, immigrants, or protesters at protests.
