Police violence is not a new phenomenon. In the late 19th and early
20th centuries, police officers in America assaulted or killed many
ordinary citizens, often during improper detainments or arrests
where no threat existed or no crime had been committed. Based on
newspaper accounts from 1869 through 1920, this history provides a
chronological listing of interactions between police and unarmed
citizens in which the citizens-some of them minors-were assaulted
or killed. Police who committed such acts often lied to protect
themselves, assisted by fellow officers and encouraging the media
to demonize the victims. The author provides information on the
prosecution and punishment of officers where available.
