Every day we see people living in different social classes, different races, etc. We have seen a lot of news about white police officers shooting black people for no reason. About 8-9 months ago a white officer shot and killed a black man just holding his cellphone, in Ohio. Adam Coy, the police officer, had gotten fired right away because they felt he had absolutely no reason to act that way. This is completely true and there are no excuses. We have seen many of these incidents that end up with a white cop in jail and a black person killed. This is absolutely disgusting that this is still a thing or a worry. They’re obviously bad cops and good cops. But it’s understandable why so many people don’t trust police officers anymore. But it’s hard for the ones who use this job and are passionate about it. This just shows that some cops are taking their power to their head. This has a significant impact because we have seen many protests over things like this. We have seen many people dying over people thinking they are better because of their color. Many of these cases are because a white person (cop) feels threatened by an African American person, for normally no reason. This is not okay, we live in a diverse world, where no race is more threatening than another. It’s beyond crazy to think that way and there is no way to make this right. We see white, black, and every other race commits crime every day. We need to keep an eye on our officers and try to point out the bad apples before things keep going to this extent. We need more information on people who get pulled over and are treated differently because of their race. We must get all the leads we can so we can stop this nonsense. It is scary because these fatal shootings of African Americans only seem to be increasing, we hear about it increasingly, and we must find a way to stop it. The novel we read last week does not have the same exact thing happening, but it is relatable. Deming had to try to change his whole life when he got in with an American family. This would be extremely hard, as it was, but people can change their lives. He wasn’t frowned upon because of his race but they expected him to change his beliefs, etc. So, he kind of was. This relates with people thinking African Americans are bad people when they are not. There is no reason to even believe this, and they are judged for everything they do. When we should just accept anyone for who they are.
Here’s A Timeline Of Unarmed Black People Killed By Police Over Past Year (buzzfeednews.com)
Your showcase of systematic injustice mentioned police brutality. We have seen too much such news, which is very sad. Moreover, police brutality often targets blacks and other ethnic minorities. The police originally protected the safety of the people, but now the lives of blacks are not guaranteed, and they lack trust in the police guarding the country. This phenomenon needs to be changed. Moreover, if the police abuse their power, many young people who have a great passion for the police industry will lose confidence and turn to other industries. In order to change this situation, it is necessary for managers within the government and the police to take a series of measures, and law enforcement personnel should enforce the law impartially.
