Police brutality has been on the rise as states attempt to enforce lockdown policies. In India, this follows a fairly disturbing trend of increased police violence in recent years. Police have been using humiliation tactics along with violence, many times on people performing essential services. In the Philippines, the government warned that those who break lockdown policy will be shot. On the 5th, this threat became a reality. It is difficult to enforce lockdown policies, especially when they are largely in place for the good of the public. However, coronavirus has revealed how many law enforcement institutions flippantly utilize violence as a go-to response to fairly minor breaches.
