 * The lead does a good job of describing the topic. I am able to know a brief description of the articles major sections.
 * The content is relevant to the topic, although there might've been too much distracting content including an excessive amount of examples of brutality in different countries. Some countries are much more thoroughly examined in terms of police brutality instances. For example Brazil, Austria, and Italy have much more details than Uganda, Ethiopia, and Egypt. The article is too long for comfort. Lack of citations. The article isn't organized too well, there is too much weight in the examples section.
 * The article doesn't completely display a neutral tone. Some are overrepresented and others are underrepresented.
 * The links to citations work but some sources aren't neutral and more focused on highlighting the negative impacts of police brutality.The sources are diverse and come from many different authors and publications. Most are from online articles. Some are recent others are a few years old.
 * There's not much conversation happening on the talk page but the article is critiqued on being too redundant, questionable organization, lot's of missing citations, and having lot's of extra information. The article is rated B-Class, and mid-importance. In class police brutality focuses on the impact it has had on Black people white on Wikipedia a large range of people in different countries including Black people is talked about.
