Abstract
This will entail a thorough analysis of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments and the extent to which they protect Black males from police homicide. Historical analysis of the pre-constitution treatment of Black or African American individuals will set the stage for a post-constitutional analysis. Major cases will be discussed and analyzed in the context of contemporary police homicides in the United States.
