An Importance of Policemen

Policemen are important for our society and community. These are the people who follow rules and helps in regulating them. They have the power and the right to take action when a member of the society does not follow the rules or abide them. The job of a policeman is dangerous and these people must take decisions before they think. Some decisions could lead to a bad result and but mostly they are done to protect the citizens.

Over the past 26 years the criminal rates has lowered more than half of what it was on 1991 and the policemen are the reason behind it. Police brutality may not be done purposely but to protect other citizens. Police take actions when the victim opposes or when he or she does not cooperate with the police. Physical actions can also be taken when the officers feel like they are being threatened by the individual. In many cases of police brutality, the problem is not of the police but of the victim if you think deeply.

For example, the South Carolina student who was dragged by a policeman from her classroom. Before using this action, the teacher and the administrators asked her to leave the room multiple times but she never listened. When the cop came to remove her from the room, she refused and fought back. This is when he had to use his power to make her leave the room. This would have never happened if she obeyed her teachers and authorities in the first place. This girl was a troublemaker and was not obedient, so she faced the consequences for her actions. This police officer did what he had to do and what he was trained to do. The policemen cannot be blamed for every cases because behind many of these cases there might be hidden truths which no one would believe due to lack of evidence.

Police brutality must be stopped as soon as possible because innocent citizens who are deserved to live die. These people and their families had dreams and careers which are taken away in minutes just because they oppose or violate any rules. Even though police officers have the right to take an action, it must be the right one and must be done according to how they were trained instead of abusing their power. Latino and black teenagers get harassed and beaten down everyday by the police for no reason and in most cases the city officials stand with the police due to lack of proper evidence. People must not feel scared to walk around or go to a park thinking that they might get interrogated by a police officer or get shot because a police officer is having a bad day.

The rise of police brutality could seriously hard the economy or the country in the future and this is not want a country want so they have to take the initiative to stop it. Even if every individuals are morally different they must be treated in the same way unless they are proven guilty to a crime. Every citizen have rights and when a person ask for their rights they must not be shot dead. Police brutality affects the peace and harmony of a nation. As a result to my research i would like to conclude by saying that Police brutality is a choice and if every police men decides not to cause any harm physically or verbally without any reason, this can be stopped. Police must not stop a person and question because of the color of his skin.

Police officers must think better and must be more professional instead of acting like a person with no moral values. They must value the life of the person and also have no right to kill anyone. Every individual is important to the society and they must be respected in the same way unless there are different other reasons. The officials must take the decisions quick before it gets too late or it could lead to more deaths .
