ReplyDeleteYes, I do believe that some police our handilind situations with to much violence. I saw a disturbing picture of a little black girl who was being sprayed with pepper spray by a white police officer for just standing by her mother. which just doesnt make sense. Some police officers just think they are just high in authority.
ReplyDeleteI would consider that they are just putting bad example on their selfs than giving a good example that they are risking their lives to saves ours.
DeleteWow that is crazy, but I agree with you because they just do to much

ReplyDeleteI agree that the American police force is getting out of control. These people who are taking part in police brutality are not like the police who genuinely want to make their communities a safer place. Instead, they are aggressive and beat people down for little to no reason and when they are confronted about it, they will more likely than not say that the attacked people were committing a crime and needed to be stopped. However, if you study reports of incidents about these cases, you will find that these people were doing things that made the officers suspicious rather than a crime. For example, one man was attacked for filming a police officer, which is perfectly legal.

ReplyDeleteI disagree if the pilice say " hands up and the victim puts their hands up then why would you shoot the person?....Exactly there really isnt a reason
DeleteI think that SOME police officers can get a little bit out of control. The reason is because its like they are looking for trouble,its like they are just waiting for you to mess up. I understand that is they job but they can take things too far. I remember when my mom got pulled because they thought that she was drunk. They made her walk in a line and blow in this tube thing for nothing. I was so mad that day they was wasting my shopping time. Sometimes I think they could be racist but thats just my opinion.
ReplyDeletePeople have been getting beat by police for a non-reason, innocent people who have done nothing.But why are they doing these things, is it for revenge, but what revenge? Are they taking their anger out by beating up innocent people, But why those people? Police have lately just done their work by beating up innocent humans than saving are lives by dangerous people who are going around and killing people which police are doing to us now.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the police officer are a little out of control i mean look what they are doing. killing un armed children and brutally attacking the people that simply confront them and i hope everyone sees that one inpatient cop car that turns on the sirens to get pass red lights then turns them off when they go pass the light which is super dangerous the people in cars which can cause serious accidents, they have even attacked people for filming them!!! Like why so serious and yet they can do this. Its unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your post here.
DeleteI think the police have been getting carried away lately. It seems like every time you turn on the T.V or get on social media sites, you're hearing about some police officer killing or injuring an innocent person. Just because you have a badge doesn't make you any different than any other person. You're the same as any other person. I realize you have to do your job, but you don't have to use deadly force to make people cooperate. I think if police don't use their weapons responsibly, then they should take away their weapons. What I mean by use their weapons responsibly is only use them if you have no other choice. Don't just automatically pull a gun on someone or start beating them with a baton, see if they're going to cooperate first.
ReplyDeleteYes i believe the police are way out of control with their violence and the way they handle situations. There is a video of a teen who surrendered with his hands up, but was still beaten by two cops for no reason whatsoever. Also a toddler was severely injured when police threw a flash bang into a house looking for a suspect who wasn't there. There are many more cases when police do things like this. They are suppose to keep people safe and make sure laws are obeyed.They abuse their authority and the law and get away with it.
ReplyDeleteThe United States of America was established for freedom. The future is untouchable and the past is not recoverable. We live with armor but, sometimes people are just stronger. The police are using there authority to enforce their own beliefs, when they should be working to ensure that we get the rights that we deserve and people who live with an unconscious mind are put through the justice system to help make the future irrefutable. The police do not protect the minorities, they protect themselves. They put the truth to shame and they make the innocent walk away in pain. The corrupt few, put the good guys on the bad side and we don't know who to turn to in a time of need. Most would rather deal with the issue than call the police.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that the police are out of control. Innocent people have got shot, beat, and arrested for no reason. The police may just be "doing their job" but I for one think they need to learn how to do there job first. The police need to learn there a boundary killing innocent people is just going to start a war. This world needs to be at peace so we need to start with the police.
ReplyDeleteThe police try their best to be careful. If someone is not listening to the police they will use weapons to protect their lives. So many police that risk their lives to protect us get killed. So thats why most of the police men are brutal. Their just being cautious to protect themselves.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said.

ReplyDeleteI do think the police are getting out of control. They using killing people when they don't really have to. They are beating people when they have already put their hands up. If someone is resisting arrest then I think it's fine to beat them to try to arrest them, but not when someone has their hands up. The problem is also the cops don't get in trouble for their actions. They can kill a person and they won't get in trouble.
ReplyDeletei agree if the person is doing as the officer says why should they get beat up or harmed
DeleteI do believe that in some cases police brutality is real. Some police officers can get out of control when they are making an arrest. I don't think that this applies fir all police fifers but it does for some. That being said most police officers try their best to be careful when they're on the jobPolice risk their lives to keep us safe so sometimes they have to use brutal force.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that police are totally getting out of control.The police are using there authority to enforce their own beliefs, The police are suppose to be here to let us know that they are working the job they are working to keep up safe. They shouldn't be showing us that we should have some fear with them. How are we suppose to feel safe if innocent people are being killed by police. Citizens sometimes do as what police say putting hands up in surrender but the police still beat them up?Police need to be controlled because they are being given the wrong look as in people who are here to keep our society safe
