Glenn Department of Sociology California State University, Los Angeles INTRODUCTION With this sociological analysis endeavor, I am fervently interested in the social phenomenon of police brutality against unarmed Black men and the role that Critical Race Theory (CRT) factors into this conundrum. Prior research on this topic has contextualized the social construct of race and race relations here in the United States, examined marginalized communities and their lack of trust and collaboration with law enforcement (Braga, Brunson, and Drakulich 2019), the history of this nation and subsequent colonization & enslavement of Black people, cultural and familial influences including racism and anti-Blackness and the effects of such (Alexander 2010), as well as the ways in which popular media, including music, television, radio, or social media depictions and stereotypes have attributed to the negative portrayals of African American men in ways that impact people’s views on police brutality against unarmed Black men (Jeffries and Jeffries 2017).	cache/csf-3813.pdf	txt/csf-3813.txt
