Press TV has conducted an interview with Bruce Dixon, with the Georgia Green Party in Atlanta, to discuss police violence against the black community in the United States.

 

Referring to the discrimination between ordinary citizens and police officers in the United States, Dixon says police officials enjoy their own standards of law in several states of the US.

Police officers in many US states are guaranteed the right to keep their use of violence against the public secret, he says, adding, “They are allowed to only have other police investigate them and not being investigated by regular authorities.”

“Police are men who do violence for living,” therefore, a bystander who filmed murder of a black man in South Carolina should be very upset about his life, the analyst maintains.
