Police Brutality is Different Than Political Correctness

The difference between police brutality and political correctness is enormous (can you believe it!) because they are completely different phenomena that operate in different spheres of society.

πŸ”΅ Police brutality

  • What is it? The use of excessive force by police, often against civilians.
  • Where does it happen? In the physical world – on the streets, in detention centers, during arrests.
  • Consequences: Injuries, deaths, human rights violations, protests, distrust in institutions.
  • Examples: Beating an unarmed person, using tear gas against peaceful protesters.

Political correctness polices your words; police brutality polices your body.

🟣 Political correctness

  • What is it? Use of language and behavior that avoids offending or excluding certain social groups.
  • Where is it happening? In speech, the media, education, the Internet - that is, in the symbolic and communication sphere.
  • Consequences: Seen as either a means of inclusivity or a restriction on free speech – depends on perspective.
  • Examples: You say "disabled person" instead of "disabled", or "member of the Roma national minority" instead of offensive names.

πŸŸ₯ In a nutshell

  • Police brutality hurts the body.
  • Political correctness provokes debates about language and the limits of free speech.
One is physical violence, the other is a social phenomenon related to language and norms. There aren't many similarities that the eye could see, except that both topics often provoke heated public reactions.
