“Murder begins where self-defense ends.” This quote from Georg Buchner can be used to describe the tragic deaths of three little boys who were rendered defense-less against their attackers. On May 5, 1993 in West Memphis, Arkansas, three young second-grade boys, by the names of Christopher Byers, Steven Branch, and Michael Moore, were brutally murdered after being beaten and hogtied by their own shoelaces. A year later, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley were convicted and sent to prison for this heinous crime. Even though the three men were convicted for the crime, there is still great controversy as to who actually killed the three boys. Throughout all this controversy, evidence, testimony, confessions, and more point towards the three men known as the “West Memphis Three”, to be the real killers.

When it comes to evaluating a police departments new formed program in-house counseling services for police officers, which is intended to reduce stress among police officers, several factors must come into place. In making this evaluation, we must first put officers into groups by age, time served on the force, and areas which officers are patrolling. In any police force, psychological evaluations should be given on a monthly basic to head the problem before it gets out of control. Because police officers have so many negative views throughout society, it can put extra stress on any individual. Out of 100 police officers, they would be split in 2 groups of 50.

There were too many to count. What was only a few dozen hours earlier, became hundreds – no thousands. The Grant County sheriff was grossly outnumbered. As he stood on the porch leading to the jail, a few steps from the door to his home, the mob shuffled forward menacingly. The glare of the porch lamp likely darkened their faces, contrasting the men of the law with the people of the land. The on-lookers who watched from afar seemed to be closer every second. He presumably considered what to do as the mob grew before his eyes. What did he fail to account for? Had he made any mistakes? He had arrested the suspects of the shooting almost immediately after it happened. The prosecutor promised anyone who asked him that these boys would end up in

POW…..POW…..POW!!!! That is the sound of police shootings. Police are the community's protectors. If so, why are the people who are supposed to protect all people attacking them? Specifically, why is there so much police brutality towards African Americans and such little done about it? This has been an ongoing question as well as the topic of police brutality for decades. In 2016, over 250 black people were killed and 34% of them were unarmed. Black men lose their lives for doing next to nothing due to police brutality.Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner were just a few of those murdered.

The topic that I am proposing is police brutality. Are police officers committing police brutality or are they just doing their job? We as a community are hearing more and more about police brutality in the United States. It is really common to see on the news or social media videos of police brutally beating individuals that seem not to resist arrest or even with their hands up in the air as a sign of surrender. My intended audiences are, communities, and police departments. Communities need to understand why this is happening and if there is going to be any change. On the other hand, police departments need to not more a blind eye any more when these situations occur and start disciplining the officers. I am a true believer of

Police brutality is a very serious problem in the United States. The term “police brutality” has been used sense 1872. According to Wikipedia, it is an act of misconduct done by a member of law enforcement by using an extreme amount of force to physically, mentally or emotionally attack a member of society. The job of a police officer can be a dangerous one and sometimes they are put in situations where excessive force is needed. The problem is when there is excessive force used by the people that have been sworn to protect and serve the Americans. Some are using excessive force when it is not needed. It has created society to have a fear of the police. The officers have power but need to be responsible with that power. It has become a controversial topic among communities. .
