Killing Michael Brown Argumentative Essay

It is unavoidable to look away from this injustice. For years, people suffer from these crimes of violence! Officer's use of brute force to take down criminals, even the innocent if they don’t comply with the law. These barbaric strategies police officers do to “protect us” have not benefited us. We fear when we see a cop. We fear when our cars are stopped. We fear when we see their weaponry. Police officers are supposed to make us feel safe, but look at the mess we find ourselves in.
Cops are supposed to keep us safe, maintain order, and preserve the peace. However, this has not been the case for years. On the news, practically every day we hear of police brutality. We hear the cries of the family lamenting their loss, whether be it a man woman or child. Yet while this loss of life takes place, the murderer’s judgement is not always favorable. Will the brutal officer be punished? Was Darren Wilson charged for killing Michael Brown, an unarmed man? No! Justice was not served! Justice did not take place! A man responsible for pulling the trigger on an unarmed man, shooting his body six times, with bullets piercing his skin all over until it was devoid life. Brown may have been a criminal, his last moments should not have been ugly, so painful, so sad. We observe
that men guilty as Wilson have gotten off free before with no consequences . How long will we allow death to happen? How long will we allow murder to be justified? I declare this must end, not later, not sooner, but now! I cannot call myself a pure man, but I follow the laws. Though when a lawful man is stopped, on several occasions because he looks, “intimidating” something is wrong. When we are thought to be criminals just by the sight of our skin, it reveals we have not conquered the demon called racism. We are still suffering in our own country. The chains around us do not need to visible yet we still see them. We should not be limited by the police.We should not be mistreated! I have a dream that I can walk freely without a police officer questioning me. I have a dream that when we our cars are stopped, we are not searched for drugs. I have a dream no matter what ethnicity, all races will be treated equally. This can only be achieved not through screaming, but through peace. Every time we hear of these disasters we scream, cry, and yell for change blaming the problem as racism toward blacks. Though what about us? We say black lives matter, but why not all lives? Police brutality is not only a black issue, it is a race issue. All men are created equal, we must not set ourselves to be the only victims of police brutality. Have we not heard of Arabs being suspected as terrorists or Mexicans being illegal aliens. It is self evident that complaining, screaming and yearning for change is not the answer. Fighting the police is not the answer. Already we tried protesting, yet there has been no change. If there is no real change on the outside the black community needs to change from the inside. Respect the police even if they hate you, show them you are not what people say. Show our nation, we are not angry, that we are not violent, or vengeful. Doing so will show the true corruption in those evil men who truly possess an evil heart. We must not be manipulated by the media, let us make better choices to respond to such crisis. Let us work together for the sake of all. Though let us not forget that the lives lost must never be regained.
We cannot truly repair their families with a violent response. Martin Luther brought us change without violence, and we must take that approach with respect to his mission. The nation feels that we are a victimized group, but we are a strong people who fought against adversities deeper than this. I urge you all to look inside yourselves and see the real threat to our peace, look toward how to better our community. Let us not fall to the stereotypes that for years been assigned to us. Let us create new image of our community and reach the peace we desired for centuries. Only then can we limit this spread of hatred bred of police
brutality.
