Those exposed to aggressive policing are more likely to drop out of school, to struggle with anxiety and depression, and to be distrustful of the police.

I will say it also hurts, officers' ability to solve cases as sometimes the communities are less likely to provide information if the trust isn't there.

It subjected people to inappropriate arrests, violence, and incarceration, and did not result in the type of, addressing the violence and crime or recovery of weapons or the contraband that people would have liked to see.

In short, the only significant outcome of abuses that I've talked about, were damage to communities of more color.
