Why are so many unarmed Black men murdered by the police?
<|assistant|>
Many Black men are disproportionately targeted and killed by police officers, despite not posing an imminent threat. Police brutality towards people of color is a pervasive issue and one of the factors that contribute to this injustice is systemic racism in the criminal justice system. This results in police officers being given leeway in the use of excessive force when dealing with citizens, especially those who are Black or Latino. Moreover, studies have shown that Black men are more likely to be stopped and searched by police, even when they are not engaged in any kind of illegal activity.
