What is it?
Police Brutality in racism is known all over the world, but is a big problem mainly in the United States. Many people of multiple races have experienced unnecessary violence from the police all because of the way they look, but the majority of the people that it's happening to today are black people in the US, almost twice as many blacks are killed by police than any other racial group. Even though this has always been around, this subject has been one of the biggest subjects on the news ever since the death of the young black male Mike Brown in August of the year 2014. The majority of the policemen who kill the innocent victims all claim that they only shot and killed the victim in self-defense, there was even times that some policemen claimed that they grabbed their real gun instead of their Taser gun by accident. In the Mike Brown incident, the former policemen that shot Mike Brown down, Darren Wilson was not charged with anything at all and the Justice Department has closed the investigation, which then led to chaos in Ferguson, people were burning buildings, destroying cars and protesting in the streets. Citizens in Ferguson were against the fact that the officer Wilson and has shot Brown 7 times, all while Mike Brown has had his hands up unarmed, and he still ended up taking his life. There has been many situations that a “trained” officer that could keep a gun with him still wasn't trained enough to restrain himself from shooting someone that was no threat, sometimes even completely innocent, but little things such as stealing shouldn't be a reason to kill somebody. Even if somebody steals something from somebody else, those are only materialistic things that you can get back easily, but once you take a life it's gone forever. After the Mike Brown case, a percentage of Americans are believing that police should have to go through more training before being able the keep a gun with them.
Hmmm nice blog Andreas, it was nice to know that police brutality in racism is happening mostly in the United States. I'm also happy to know that I am not the only one that thinks that it is a big problem going on lately, and hopefully everyone will notice soon also how big this is getting and we will put a stop to it!
RépondreSupprimerThank you Ali, i'll have to disagree on your first point , i don't think this problem should be going on anywhere at all, and i wish it would go away but that's nearly impossible. But on your second point, it's true that not enough people believe that this isn't a big enough problem to really worry about, but i completely disagree with them. hopefully that happens one day.
