It is reported that Tom Robinson gets shot to death when he tried to run away. This is most likely untrue and just an excuse to execute him because no one in their right mind would run from someone with a gun. Instead of just 1 shot to stop Tom, the policemen shot him 17 times. The intention is clear that they wanted him dead.

“Tom’s dead.”
Aunt Alexandra put her hands to her mouth.
“They shot him,” said Atticus. “He was running. It was during their exercise
period. They said he just broke into a blind raving charge at the fence and started
climbing over. Right in front of them—”
“Didn’t they try to stop him? Didn’t they give him any warning?” Aunt
Alexandra’s voice shook.
“Oh yes, the guards called to him to stop. They fired a few shots in the air, then to
kill. They got him just as he went over the fence. They said if he’d had two good
arms he’d have made it, he was moving that fast. Seventeen bullet holes in him.
They didn’t have to shoot him that much. (Chapter 24, Page 134)

In the book, Scout is treated differently and getting hateful comments about her and her dad defending a black man. This shows society's hatred for black people. Although it is a big step to allow black people to get an education now than from the time period in the book, racism still follows them. This relates to racism in schools because black students get direct harassment from the schools for their culture and skin.

"Black students are three times more likely to be suspended or expelled than their white peers, according to the U.S. Department of Education. And in the American South, racial disparities in punitive discipline are even greater."

"US police kill black people at disproportionate rates: Black people accounted for 31 percent of police killing victims in 2012, even though they made up just 13 percent of the US population."

"Raw videos that show officers shooting and beating unarmed black people have stirred outrage and prompted disbelief. Captured by cellphones or police cameras, footage has spread through social media, shining a light on disturbing police encounters.

" Black Lives Matter is an activist movement that was formed to campaign against racism and what its members consider police brutalityagainst African Americans. Three black activists began the movement on social media in July 2013, after George Zimmerman, a white neighborhood watch volunteer, was acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, during a struggle in Sanford, Florida. Black Lives Matter does not center on a single visible leader, but encourages the leadership of all of its members. It is a decentralized movement with self-governing chapters around the United States. The movement has staged hundreds of demonstrations around the world and has attracted attention for disrupting government meetings and political events. "

Bob Ewell, angry after Atticus had defended and almost won the case for Tom Robinson, decides to attack Atticus's children. This shows racial bias because has Tom not been a black guy and had society not turn their backs on Atticus for defending a black man, Bob Ewell would not felt so comfortable to attack Jem and Scout.

"Our company shuffled and dragged his feet, as if wearing heavy shoes. Whoever
it was wore thick cotton pants; what I thought were trees rustling was the soft
swish of cotton on cotton, wheek, wheek, with every step.
I felt the sand go cold under my feet and I knew we were near the big oak. Jem
pressed my head. We stopped and listened.
Shuffle-foot had not stopped with us this time. His trousers swished softly and
steadily. Then they stopped. He was running, running toward us with no child’s
steps.
'Run, Scout! Run! Run!' Jem screamed.
I took one giant step and found myself reeling: my arms useless, in the dark, I
could not keep my balance.
'Jem, Jem, help me, Jem!' "

" But Mrs. Dubose held us: 'Not only a Finch waiting on tables but one in the
courthouse lawing for niggers!'
Jem stiffened. Mrs. Dubose’s shot had gone home and she knew it:
'Yes indeed, what has this world come to when a Finch goes against his raising?
I’ll tell you!' She put her hand to her mouth. When she drew it away, it trailed a
long silver thread of saliva. 'Your father’s no better than the niggers and trash he
works for!' "

" 'You can just take that back, boy!'
This order, given by me to Cecil Jacobs, was the beginning of a rather thin time for Jem and me. My fists were clenched and I was ready to let fly. Atticus had
promised me he would wear me out if he ever heard of me fighting any more; I
was far too old and too big for such childish things, and the sooner I learned to
hold in, the better off everybody would be. I soon forgot.
Cecil Jacobs made me forget. He had announced in the schoolyard the day before
that Scout Finch’s daddy defended niggers. I denied it, but told Jem. " (Chapter 9, page 62)

"With this in mind, I faced Cecil Jacobs in the schoolyard next day: “You gonna
take that back, boy?”
“You gotta make me first!” he yelled. “My folks said your daddy was a disgrace
an‘ that nigger oughta hang from the water-tank!”
I drew a bead on him, remembered what Atticus had said, then dropped my fists
and walked away, “Scout’s a cow—ward!” ringing in my ears. It was the first
time I ever walked away from a fight." (Chapter 9, page 63-64)

In the book, Tom Robinson gets shot to death when he allegedly tries to run for his freedom. This represent police brutality in the modern world because black people tend to be treated harsher than white people like in the book. The law in the modern day allows police to feel more comfortable abusing a black person rather than a white person.
White people get away with crimes easier than black people do, this reflects the book because although all evidence proves Tom Robinson not guilty, his skin color held him back and the Ewells got away with false accusations.

Black Lives Matter is a movement created to help stop police brutality towards black people. This is the action the modern society has taken that the time period in the book wasn't able to achieve. Black Lives Matter is similar to relatives of Tom Robinson who came to Atticus's house and celebrated someone defending a black man. Both examples encourages and supports the black race.

Scout goes to school and get's insults from students about Atticus, her dad and Tom Robinson, a black man who he defends in court. Scout tries her best to keep calm as a student constantly attacks her with rude comments and inappropriate words.
This shows racial bias because everyone will attack people who support black people no matter what the situation is, no recorded harassment happened to the lawyer who defended the white people. The student seems to not be very educated on the situation and states his parents have commented on Atticus and the case.
