Eyes Have Seen Abuse by police officers and officers in penal institutions is a big subject in the media now. Turn to a news station and the chances of seeing at least on case are pretty high. The most unreported incidents, however, is actually assault on police officers and corrections officers. The media does not report these issues nearly as much as it tries to portray officer assault on criminals. Why is it that the media covers up the big issue of officer assault and reports the “innocent”
that police officers are using an excess of force, and in some occasions, lethal force in their daily routine. It is now normal for people to get scared when they are in the presence of a police officer. It is not a coincidence because these police officer have created their own reputation. Recent incidents involving police officers shooting innocent people are raising doubts about how police officers are trained, and the credibility in the Unites States Justice System.

white, and blue in America represents freedom. When a police officer approaches a civilian in today’s times, those colors mean the absolute worst. With recent police mischief including shootings, red, white, and blue could mean absolute panic. Americans today feel as if there is a war with police officers.

Witness reports don’t hold up with evidence, the victim has their recollection of what happened and the police officer has another. There is no
mind when we think of “Police Officers.” In elementary school, the most common question students would be asked was “what do you want to be when you grow up,” and the most common response would be in return, “a police officer.” Sadly now, most are rethinking this occupational choice. The authority that most cops these days believe they have is over the top; they think that they can take advantage of everything and everybody simply by the power of their badge.

They are here to enforce the “laws of the land” and to keep society safe from any harm.

Officer Safety As being a police officer becomes more and more scrutinized by the community and the media, it is difficult to find citizens to fill these positions.
