<|assistant|>
Yes, there have been more cases of police brutality since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.  It has been observed that since the implementation of forced social distancing, the police force has been increasingly using excessive force and deploying lethal force against those they are supposed to protect and serve. It has also been reported that police brutality cases have disproportionately affected marginalized communities such as people of color and the LGBTQ+ community.
