Police brutality is at an alarming rate.  The Black Codes were laws passed in 1865 and 1866 by Southern states in the United States after the American Civil War in order to restrict African Americans' freedom, and to compel them to work in a labor economy based on low wages or debt Our constitutional right have been violated on so many levels the 13, ammendment states that Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted? .Also the Dred Scott Case  that he Nor any African ancestry could claim citizenship in the United States, and therefore Scott could not bring suit in federal court under diversity of citizenship rules. Until this law is changed this is why were having such an hard time in the court system.That's not all what about the Supreme Court, which ruled “there is no right that a black man has that a white man is bound to respect! Including the person’s right to life?. Lets not forget the Casual Killing ACT:In 1669, an act was passed in Virginia called the casual killing Act so they could kill a black person without consequences.  The law established so that “if any slave resists his master and by the extremity of the correction should chance to die, that his death should not be a felony or punishable offense?.  But mind you these laws may have taken off the books but secretly they're still being used.
