These two articles are similar but different in certain areas. The articles describe how the researchers take police brutality and take it and turn it around. Researchers also look at it as in how the suspect was actually involved in crime while they were approached by police and if the police actually had a valuable reason to approach the suspect. The research methods used were called “race farming’’, National Police Misconduct Statistics and Reporting Project (NPMSRP), and the media. The “race farming’’ is searching out one race in the public and discrimination them. The NPMSRP takes the statistics and look at the report and see if the officer was in the wrong. The media is also a big part where the local police can see how their officers are breaking their own law themselves; it is physical evidence.  

The construction of both articles are different but are focused on the same topic police brutality. The one article “Racism and Police Brutality in America” focused more on discrimination on one race and how police brutality in American.
The other article on “Race and Police Brutality: The Importance of Media Framing” focused more “race farming” and the “media”. The audience is for other researchers and the second audience could be teachers, college students, and criminology majors; the clues that tells me those people are the audience is the way they describe it. The writer's are trying to prove that the police brutality in american is still on the rise but in a non-bias way.

These two articles strikes me as if the writers are trying to encourage people to look at police brutality in different aspects. The most interesting to see if the police brutality is to see if the topic will ever get out besides the media because the media is corrupting the world. The media changes the stories and if there is a video they only show half of the video. If the media allowed out more than just the African American police brutality news it would change dramatically.
