Introduction
The history of police brutality has been masked in many incidences since the early 17

century. The equivalent of police brutality in these times was like the events surrounding the
forceful bringing of slaves to America. This was done by torching houses, brutal murders, and
rape back in Africa before these slaves were captured. These events were the beginning of what
would be two years of struggle to an inequity in the way law enforcement has treated those under

characterized by violence towards Harriet Tubman's experiences releasing slaves and in eras
such as the Jim Crow era. Slavery provided room for negative psychological conditioning that
involved practices that caused harm to slaves: these harms were inflicted through violence,
whipping by slave owners, and even murder in extreme cases. These conditioned practices

The Jim Crow era was the beginning of a series of laws that were termed anti-black laws.
These laws, by their nature, were established to oppress the slaves through a racial segregation
system. The laws were more prominent in the southern states due to a more constringent and
conservative culture found in the south (Rogerson & Rogerson, 2020). The Southern Christian
