Title

Loyola Phoenix: Police brutality bruises public trust with officers

Description

An article by Sasha Vassilyeva discusses the recent incident of excessive force used against students at Loyola and the ways that such behavior damages public trust in officers at large.
On Feb. 24, Campus Safety officers were filmed using excessive force against a student. Students, including those affected, held a protest and town hall meeting and circulated a petition, alleging racial profiling of the two students of color involved. The movement used the hashtag #NotMyLoyola.
The photo caption reads: "Students participate in a scheduled walk-out in protest of alleged racial profiling by Campus Safety of two students of color earlier that week. Leading the pictured group of students is Paloma Fernandez, one of the profiled students."
