Police brutality and “Torture Letters”

In addition, the first two letters from the author talked about children’s experiences with police violence, misconceptions about the portrayal of black youth. They depict that the police treated them like adults. The young age of police victims is highlighted more than once in letters of torture. In Ralph’s portrayal, the police and military appear disproportionately large compared to the children when they meet on the streets. Ralph’s empathy is also reflected through his own childhood experiences at the precinct where his brother was interrogated by a police officer for several hours. In the animation, after being interrogated, Ralph hesitates a little before hugging his brother. This reminds of the reflection of violence on the families of the victims. This also damages their relatives, little children especially.
It is disheartening that the continuation of persistent fatigue-causing publications by the politicized media plays into the hands of the Chicago police by diminishing the importance of systemic injustice. Major police reforms will not be supported until the majority is influenced by minority issues and incidents such as the murder of Adam Toledo, a 13-year-old from Chicago this week. Until the media stops the endless influx of such content, focuses on the stories of people, their families, and the importance of every life, compassion fatigue will stay in its place.
