Ultimately, the question I want to answer is how police brutality and similar forms of violence by authority figures have changed over time in the United States, and how we should address such issues today. The Thesis statement should show a concise response to this research question. The body paragraphs should use TEAS structure, and quotes should be used in the ICE structure. Additionally, there should be some textual evidence from the book
