Police brutality has impacted our criminal justice system in a negative manner. Chief Justice Warren once said that the police must obey the law while enforcing the law. In addition, police departments across this nation are defunding their police. This problem has many implications. The rule of law has been questioned recently and the systematic method of "profiling" has been referred to by some legal scholars as corroding our civil liberties. As a result the negative effect it has had on the scrutinizing of police and the courts that deal with some of these offenses on both sides of the aisle. Protests have been happening and people now should be held accountable because it continues to occur. Finally, it alienates the good cops (which are many).
