"Basically, legal law enforcement requires the reasonable use of force in any situation, alright. Police brutality is the unlawful use of force against an individual. The police are subject to the same constrains as human beings are generally. There's any number of situations. As a matter of fact, the Journal of Science has come out with a fact, suggesting that one in 1,000 black men will face death in the hands of police during the course of their life time. And that's pretty much an astounding figure if you look at it. The United States as a democracy, leads the other world democracies in abuse at the hands of the police by a long shot. There's reasons for it. Sociologists could answer that question far better than me. But it's definitely an epidemic, it has to be dealt with. As a matter of fact, the commissioner on human rights (of the United Nations) Michelle Bachelet issued a notice just two days ago, saying that 'something must be done about this situation in the United States. It's definitely a human rights issue."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Douglas Ingraham, civil rights lawyer:
"You know, I think every American that sees these things happening, certainly has come to understand, or if not learned, that there are definitely some pent-up frustrations and anger running throughout the black community and other minority communities, as well as the white community. If you look at the demonstration that are recurring in different cities around the United States, it's not just African-Americans or Latino, there are a lot of white people in those crowds. They are not necessarily protesting this specific police brutality, but just generally, they certainly are generally. I firmly believe that a lot of the pent-up frustration that's coming out of these demonstrations has a lot to do with the current environment. The pandemic certainly has something to do with it, a lot of pent-up anger in the communities, minority communities, they are classically underrepresented in health care, housing, educational opportunities... And it's all pretty much coming to the fore right now based on, this was the last incident that basically kicked it off."

The underlying cause of the protests that broke out in over 30 cities across the United States over the death of George Floyd in the past few days is the great inequality that has long existed in the country and indulged the brutality targeting African Americans, a civil rights lawyer said.

Floyd, a 46-year-old unarmed black man, died as a city police officer kneeled on his neck while he was handcuffed in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday.
The incident, videotaped by bystanders, was posted online on Tuesday and widely shared on social media. It incited widespread condemnations and the first large protest in the Midwestern city on Tuesday night.

Douglas Ingraham, a civil rights lawyer from California, said during an interview with China Global Television Network on Saturday that Floyd's misfortune is not uncommon in the United States.

"Basically, legal law enforcement requires the reasonable use of force in any situation, alright. Police brutality is the unlawful use of force against an individual. The police are subject to the same constrains as human beings are generally. There's any number of situations. As a matter of fact, the Journal of Science has come out with a fact, suggesting that one in 1,000 black men will face death in the hands of police during the course of their life time. And that's pretty much an astounding figure if you look at it," he said.

As a matter of fact, the commissioner on human rights (of the United Nations) Michelle Bachelet issued a notice just two days ago, saying that 'something must be done about this situation in the United States. It's definitely a human rights issue," he added.

Police violence, Ingraham said, was just a trigger to the current protests. He pointed out that the deeper reason that caused the situation is the serious social and economic inequality between different races, which has been around for a long time in the American society. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, he said, also amplified the conflicts.

"You know, I think every American that sees these things happening, certainly has come to understand, or if not learned, that there are definitely some pent-up frustrations and anger running throughout the black community and other minority communities, as well as the white community. If you look at the demonstration that are recurring in different cities around the United States, it's not just African-Americans or Latino, there are a lot of white people in those crowds.
