Miguel Francis-Santiago investigates police brutality in the USA. Hundreds of US citizens die every year at the hands of law enforcement officers. A disturbing number appeared to pose no immediate threat to their killers. Unarmed people being shot, beaten and even suffocated to death by officers, continue to make headlines, despite an almost continuous public outcry. The recent death of Michael Brown, shot by a policeman, caused violent civil unrest in the town of Ferguson. As a result, 24 US states have introduced police reform proposals in an attempt to prevent excessive use of force. Many disturbing videos showing people being shot by officers often suggest that those responsible are entirely conscious of what they are doing. Miguel meets the victims of alleged police brutality, people who experienced it first-hand and others who lost loved ones to it. They are engaged in a long fight for justice and want answers. They also want the police to be accountable for what they do, most of all though, they hope to prevent more tragic deaths in the future. The growing use of personal and dashboard cameras by Police Services has exposed just how widespread the problem is and provided the evidence needed to take some rogue police officers to court. Yet, incidents of police brutality continue. For a fuller picture of the issue and why certain communities have lost all trust in how the legal system works, Miguel meets a serving police officer and a prominent lawyer who regularly handles lawsuits against the Police brutality that has affected people throughout the USA., and he even speaks about the issue with Mr Quentin Tarantino. Miguel explores its causes and asks, what might put an end to it?

Pearl Pearson is a Deaf, Black man who survived a brutal beating by Oklahoma Highway Patrol in 2014. Not only were the troopers cleared of wrongdoing, but Pearl was also charged with resisting arrest. This is his story.

Though neighbors told officers that Magdiel was Deaf and couldn't hear their commands, they still shot him five times. The officers were cleared of wrongdoing, and the district attorney instead filed charges against the victim's family. Note: When "deaf" is capitalized as "Deaf," it's referencing the Deaf community, an important and empowering distinction to those in the community. Transcript available in the comments.

AJ+ regrets this error. Two other statistics in the film also refer to LA County. The jurisdiction of LAPD is the City of Los Angeles and not the entire county, although LAPD does often work closely with other departments outside of city limits. For clarification: # of victims of officer-involved shootings in the City of Los Angeles (according to the LA Times): 2004: 18 2005: 14 2006: 15 2007: 20 2008: 21 2009: 11 2010: 17 2011: 30 2012: 17 2013: 13 2014: 17 2015: 8 Brendon “Dizzle” Glenn was the eighth victim of an officer-involved shooting in the City of Los Angeles in 2015.

The killing of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, MO in 2014, galvanized a renewed public interest in the concept of citizen policing, but for David Whitt, Michael Brown’s neighbor at the time, it was the moment he decided his community needed a full-time force of people policing the police. Whitt, a father of four and an electrician by trade, has since dedicated his life to working with Copwatch - an activist organization that works to create a consistent and sustained system of citizen police monitoring with cameras or other recording devices as a way to prevent police brutality. Whitt still patrols his neighborhood where police and citizen interactions are frequent, collecting hours upon hours of video documentation in the hopes that this can prevent another Michael Brown.

US police forces are increasingly using military-style tactics to carry out even the most routine daily operations. The number of SWAT teams and SWAT-style raids across the county have skyrocketed in the last few decades. SWAT raids occur at an estimated 50,000 raids per year and a majority take place for low-level crimes. It is a trend that is being propped up by billions of federal dollars in Homeland Security grants and access to free military equipment through the Department of Defense for civilian law enforcement agencies. In the past, police SWAT teams were only used in extreme circumstances; today, they are increasingly sent out to perform routine tasks. Nowadays, there are tens of thousands of military-style police raids every year. But only the worst cases make the news. Fault Lines travels to California and Tennessee to look at the effects of the increasing militarisation of US police departments.
