Police Abuse

While police officers are here to keep us safe, they sometimes allow personal prejudices to get in the way of their duties. Our state, unfortunately, has proven to be one of the worst when it comes to racial profiling and police abuse. When it comes to the nation’s incarceration rates, Minnesota has the largest disparity between black and white men. In Hennepin County, nearly half of all black males between 18 and 30 years old are arrested each year.

As if the needless arrests aren’t bad enough, there is the problem of unnecessary violence.  While officers are rarely charged with the fatalities they caused, it is common for up to three police officers per year to be investigated by a grand jury for the deaths they were responsible for.

The police are granted a large amount of power and it needs to be kept in check in order for our society to maintain its liberties. If you were arrested without reason or if excessive force was used against you during your arrest, your civil liberties were violated. When you hire a Minnesota personal injury lawyer, you can bring your case to trial and fight the false arrest or excessive force. The jury may help you receive compensation for your pain and emotional suffering.

Remember, filing this sort of a civil lawsuit against the police will not only help you recover from your trauma, but will also remind the department that their power is not limitless. If you are ready to take a stand against police brutality and misuse of power, contact an experienced Minnesota personal injury attorney from The Law Offices of Bolt & Hoffer.

"I needed the direction and Christopher Hoffer provided that. He is very calm, well organized, and very capable. I still have pain from the car accident today but he helped me get a settlement from the insurance company to cover auto and medical expenses and was very supportive. He did a great job for me and he'll do the same for you." – Marv O.
