Justice is being fair and unbiased. Police brutality is serious injustice
in the world. Police all across the world have been abusing their power for
years. I believe police brutality would never be stopped against African
Americans.
Police brutality has impacted all America. In Birmingham, Alabama 29 year
old travarious Daniel accused of stealing a car was arrested outside of a
nightclub downtown. Daniel was staggering down a sidewalk with his hands in
the air. Then he was tackled and struck by the police multiple times in the
back of the head. Travarious Daniel was shown with a bandage over his eye.
The cops were put on paid on administrative leave. Despite getting beat by
the cops Daniel was charged with unlawful breaking and entering of a
vehicle and receiving stolen property. Another story from Birmingham,
Alabama is a man named Anthony warren suspected of drug activity. Warren
took the police on a 50 mile chase. Warren van knocked over a police
officer standing in the road. Then warrens van flip over into a ditch,
warren was ejected from the van and he stopped moving. One black and four
white officers kicked and beat warren brutally as he lay unconscious. Later
warrens mug shot showed a terrible bruise warren wearing a neck brace.
Warren was charged with attempted murder but plead guilty to aggravated
assault, he received 20 years. The cops didn’t receive criminal charges
against them but they were fired. In Chicago, robin perovic got into a
fight with the bouncer and she called the police. Officer James cheavas
turned against her when she didn't want to sign a blank incident report.
According to robin the officer picked her up and threw her face down on the
ground. Since she was handcuffed she couldn't break her fall so she landed
on her face. In 2002 to 2004 more than 10,000 complaints were filed on
Chicago police officers. Police brutality was an is a serious case. I don't
believe that it will never be stopped unless the world educate the police
officers on how to treat their citizens.

I think this issue was a great one to choose, even though it isn’t only the police that proceed in acts of in justice and doesn’t receive any punishment they deserve. The most interesting fact that you gave me in your editorial was the fact that you gave three of four different to back up your argument. One thing you could have done better to make your editorial seem more realalistic is a add on of percentages and stats, also a connection to self if you have one would have made it seem real. A few questions are have you ever been involved with or witnessed any police brutality? and if you could what would you do to stop it?
ReplyDelete"Tim", I agree that the issue is a relevant, important one to choose, and also that statistics and percentages would have greatly improved the credibility of the piece. Focusing on two strong examples and including various perspectives would have also been beneficial.
