I'm glad you asked! I am a librarian and I recently referred a patron to this report that will answer all of your questions:\n\nBureau of Justice Statistics: Police Use of Force\nhttp://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/ndcopuof.pdf\n\nIf you need more information, try looking on the Bureau of Justice Web site:\n\nhttp://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/\n\nAfter you enter the site, try searching by keyword "brutality".

Google it... Or, better yet, go to the place the cops hate: The ACLU website. There are plenty of cases of abuse quoted there

Well, this isn't me, but my older cousin (only 16 at the time) now has a record because of the following:\nOne night (or early morning rather, it was about 3:00AM) he was bored so he snuck out of bed and wandered around hi neighborhood, then went over to his friends apartment building and threw rocks and small stones at his friend's bedroom window, trying to get him up. He didn't wake, so my cousin set a bag on fire, thinking that would work (I don't understand his reasoning either). Some neighbors had been watching and at this point called the cops, so when his friend finallly woke up, my cousin stuck his head in the window, then turned and left when immediatly hearing the sirens, he shouted "Sh*t the cops!" Then ran, headed for a swampy area hidden by trees. There, he hid for nearly half an hour, then when he finally came out, he saw about ten cop cars, all waiting for his sixteen year old self. So they frisked him, informed of his rights, handcuffed him and took him to the police station where he realized they were trying him for:\n1. Breaking and Entering\n2. Disturbing the Peace\n3. Arson\n4. Evasion of the Police (I think that's what it's called when you run from the police)\nWell, surprisingly enough all he got was jail for the rest of the night, though it's still on his record.

Washington DC\n\nAt a press conference following Human Kindness Day in Washington, DC on May 10, 1975, police reported that there had been 600 arrests, 150 smashed windows, 42 looted refreshment stands, 17 stonings of uniformed officers, 33 fires, 120 cases of public brawling, and 14 cars demolished in Constitution Avenue.]\n\nhttp://anecdotage.com/index.php?aid=3434

I'm assuming this is for the US?  If so, the best thing to do is to search the FBI's crime index.  The FBI's crime index compiles the statics of police departments around the nation, and has many variable stats available.  http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm\n\nGood luck, and I hope you find what you're looking for.

You can find that sort of information on a government demographics webpage.  Just google it.

For a really eye opening different perspective, read an issue of Men's health from about 6 months ago. they did an article called Blue Juice or something like that where they investigated the rampant steroid abuse of police officers. They even gave tips on how not to be a victim of police rage...it was really interesting.

Honestly? I don't think our society (if you mean American society) has ever become sensitive to police brutality against young black men. Or black males of any age. \n\nHowever, it may seem like there has been a sudden shift in occurances of police brutatlity because they (police force) are getting worse in their out-of-control behaviour and actions. The cases of needless deaths of non-violent victims are occuring almost on a daily basis. It is dawning on people how corrupt the department, as a whole, has become. Officers shoot unresisting, unarmed men in the back now and it's outrageous and WRONG.\nIt is white and black men, white and black females.\n\nIt's disturbing. And it's scary. They're getting away with it, and being paid to do it. As a citizen of the general public, you don't even have to make 'a wrong move' to get shot to death today.\n\nAn 18 year old drunken boy was staggering to his own front door to get away from a frightening police squad and they shot him in the back 3 times because .... because why?\nHe was incoherently drunk, young, disoriented, scared and trying to get away from being pelted with beanbags. They had no provocation to shoot him but they did.\nHe was a white male.\n\nIn my opinion, it's not about race anymore (though for some officers it certainly is). For ALL police officers, it's about power now. If you do not surrender yourself completely to a police officer and show to them you are at their mercy, they will do whatever they have to, whatever they want to MAKE YOU. When their lights turn on, your rights are turned off.\n\nEver read the side of their vehicle?\nTo Protect and Serve. \nBut it isn't to protect and serve us. lol\nIt is to protect and serve themselves. \nWho are they?\nThey're employed by government.\nAnd that's exactly who they're going to protect. \nThey are merely an end result of our own government - which, clearly, is out of control and frankly, not at all ours anymore.

Look for the Web site of your local police department.  Here in Dallas, the police site has stats and graphs.
