Three articles
So I have found my three articles for my annotated bibliography requirement. The ones I found are great sources for my topic. They all discuss police brutality and they are from different points of view which will help me make a stronger argument. From my research I learned that not many police officers actually commit these brutal attacks, but since they can be so drastic they always make the news and enter the concerns of the pubic. In fact, an officer will come in contact with a situation where they could use excess force at least once in their line of duty, and many of them with refrain from using brutal actions. This was surprising to me. I learned that the four main types of force used by officers are chemical agents, batons, dog attacks, and vehicle ramming. Out of all of these, chemical agents cause the most wounds but are the most effective. Even though this information is pertinent to my topic, I will still need to find more works that discuss why an officer would use aggressive force.I will most likely find this information in more scholarly journal article. This will be my focus for the next couple of weeks.

Do you mean that most officers face this choice on a daily basis? Or did you mean at least once in their entire career?
