Police Brutality: A Glitch Website

by Tiffany Kuang, GWC Head of External Affairs

In just one week, Tiffany created a website based on the excessive and unwarranted use of force by law enforcement, or police brutality as a way for individuals to learn more about it's commonality, relevance to our world, and what we as individuals can do to combat it through statistics, resources/links,  history, and individual action items. 

We talked with Tiffany to learn a bit more about her project... 

Q: Why Police Brutality? 

A: "I decided to pick police brutality because I remember vividly scrolling through social media and seeing people of color, specifically African Americans, be brutally attacked by the police. It looked like a scene from a movie, but these were real people. There were other ways of helping, such as participating in protests. However, because it was during the peak of COVID-19, I wasn’t allowed to go out into populated public spaces in case I brought back COVID and spread it to my loved ones. I still wanted to make an impact on my community and show my support, which was why I decided to pick police brutality as my topic!"

Q: Advanced skills utilized in Glitch? 

A: "Some other advanced topics I used included embedding Youtube videos, interactive tables, and a time-lapse of the US map pinpointing the location of known incidents throughout 2016."
