Police Brutality Issue

Police Are Not The Problem Every human being is a victim of racism at some point in his or her life. Some do not even know they are victims of it. The epitome of racism these days seems to be in the form of police brutality. It is said that police brutality happens extremely too often in low-income areas as well as medium to high-income areas. According to an Article by the TNO Staff of The New Observer: Far More Whites Killed by Police, more whites are actually killed by police than other races. This shows that this is not a racial issue. Police are not the problem, the problem is that there are a lot of people who act belligerent in the face of the law and do not respect authority. There are several prime examples of police brutality that have shaken society and set a new definition for racial discrimination. According to Thomas Knowles’s article: Cops Aren’t Your Enemy, Police almost never draw their gun unless they absolutely have to. A police officer will only use his firearm if his life, or other lives are in danger
This creates a sense of fearlessness and causes people to feel as if they can do anything and get away with it. This leads to people getting hurt very badly and or killed. When a police officer tells an individual to do something, the absolute best thing that that individual can do is comply and be cooperative. If these behaviors are executed, an individual should have no issues with an officer. It is almost only when a person does not comply that force is used. The people of this generation are confused as to what the definition of not complying is. The definition of resisting arrest is doing anything under your power that would impede the officer from arresting you. Simple and polite cooperation would fix a large majority of police brutality
