How to use brutality in a sentence?

  1. Donald Trump:

    I don't see anything inciteful, I am strongly in favor of The Death Penalty, i am also in favor bringing back police forces that can do something instead of turning their back because every quality lawyer that represents people that are trouble, the first thing they do is start shouting police brutality, etc.

  2. Donald Trump:

    We must continue once again to shine a light on the horrendous atrocities taking place around the corner and around the globe, we must continue to fight injustice in all its forms, in whatever scale or shape it takes in our lives. Together, we must declare that the era of allowing brutality against women and children is over, while affirming that the time for empowering women around the world is now. For wherever women are diminished, the entire world is diminished with them.

  3. Paul Callan:

    I believe that the existence of cell phone video and social media postings has substantially reduced police brutality over the long run. Although the intensity of news coverage of cases such as [George] Zimmerman and Michael Brown makes it feel like there is more police brutality, my sense of the situation as a lawyer who is in court several times a week is that the number of cases is diminishing.

  4. Joshua Wong:

    All these weapons are imported from the United States. Given the innumerable proof of police brutality in recent protests, all countries should call a halt to the sale of arms to the notorious Hong Kong Police.

  5. Candace Parker:

    But this isn't what our goal was, and obviously, we wear Breonna Taylor's name on the back of our jersey, but she represents so many other women that have been killed because of police brutality. I think as a mother, there's no amount of money that could take that away. So I don't think that does anything.
