Do you ever wonder why the police
are always being made fun of or why many people do not like them? I am sure
your not wondering this because you are well aware of the tremendous mistakes
made by this higher authority.
On August 9th around midday in
Ferguson, Missouri an18 year old, African American man, Michael Brown, was shot by a
police officer and left on the floor for hours. What people don’t understand is
why did the police officer have to shoot? It is said that brown had moved
towards them in a weird manner. He did not reach for anything but just walk past them, trying to get to his destination with one of this friends.
The police keep committing these
senseless acts and most of the time they get away with it because of their
title: police officers. Parents not only have to worry about their child in the
streets, but also around the police. Aren’t they there to help the citizens and
keep them away from any danger, but why did they have to kill an unarmed young
man?
Tons
of respect for police officers has been lost in Ferguson because of this case and if things like this
keep occurring everyone will soon dislike there higher power. What the police
need to do is set better laws so that when a cop commits a crime they have the
same laws as a regular civilian. Don’t we tax payers’ pay for other weapons
that will not kill people like batons and tasers? If change does not occur
there will be more and more deaths of unarmed people by police officers.
With all the publicity in Ferguson and across the nation, the feds jumped on this case. They have launched a full investigation on the
murder of this 18 year old. The faster they conduct their search the faster it
will give respect to the people. And it will show the authority of Ferguson
that there is pressure to handle things more responsibly.
