Read the following excerpt and determine if it is an example of logos pathos or ethos we can never be satisfied as long Negro victim unspeakable horrors police brutality cMa?

This excerpt is primarily an appeal to pathos.

Here's why:

* Pathos appeals to emotions. The language used ("unspeakable horrors," "police brutality") is designed to evoke strong feelings of anger, sadness, and injustice in the reader.

* Logos appeals to logic and reason. There is no clear argument or logical reasoning presented in this excerpt.

* Ethos appeals to credibility and authority. The excerpt doesn't establish any credibility or authority for the speaker.

While the excerpt might be trying to make a point about the need for change (which could be considered a logical argument), the primary focus is on stirring up emotional responses.
