This isn't a modern issue, this issue has existed for ages. The relationship with the police and the black community in America has been toxic from the start.

The only difference today is smartphones and social media are here to record things in real time, so these things can no longer be swept under the rug so easily.

Anyone who grew up in the 90s will remember the Rodney King beating too, but today everyone has a phone that can record video now, and a platform in Facebook/Youtube to broadcast it to the world.
