Problem:
Some causes of low levels of community trust in Black communities include high-profile police killings of unarmed Black people, the history of police being used to enforce racist laws, and racial disparities in police use of force. Black Americans have reported the negative impact of publicized incidents of police brutality on their mental health, as well as an increased fear of police and a renewed distrust of police officers (Author, Year). Further, these cases are only a more recent example of Black Americans facing unequal treatment by the United States government and its law enforcement agencies, leading to a longstanding suspicion of any police activity. Many Black Americans see racial disparities in police use of force as ongoing evidence that they are targeted by police."
Your next paragraphs should provide evidence to support your assertion that each of these listed root causes is, in fact, an established root cause of the issue.
o Annotated Bibliography
Traditionally, an annotated bibliography is a collected, organized synthesis of research relevant to a specific topic or thesis. Rather than simply summarizing each source's methods and findings, annotated bibliographies add an assessment of each source to explain its relevance to the topic at hand - what does the source say, and how does it support your assertions? How do the sources support your conclusions? This is a good way to start thinking about how you critically evaluate and synthesize evidence to arrive at well-supported conclusions, especially given that we currently live in a world of curated, person targeted material designed to push particular conclusions.
