The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida (Florida ACLU) reports that "Police abuse continues to be a major civil liberties problem in Florida, particularly in poor communities and communities of color." The organization says it receives hundreds of complaints of police misconduct every year in Florida, including verbal abuse, racial profiling, use of excessive force, and even inappropriate use of lethal force. The Florida ACLU's website ACLUFL.org provides resources to help Floridians educate themselves about and protect themselves against police brutality.
