During one of the first days in class every cadet was asked why they were at the academy and why they wanted to be a police officer. My initial response to that question was that I wanted to help others. However, I would like to make clear what I meant by this, and point out that even though helping others remains being the primary objective, it is not the exclusive reason for wanting to be a police officer. Helping others remains being my primary reason, followed by the desire to have a divers career
Police Officer Police officers are officers of the law. They help protect you from danger and try to keep you safe. Police officers are generally charged with the apprehension of criminals and the prevention and detection of crime, and protection and assistance of the general public.

you think police officer should have? Asking a potential police officer about their mindset on what an officer’s values are vital. This particular question seeks the motivation on why a person would want to be a police officer. They should understand that they have a responsibility to serve the public and to work towards the mission and goals of the police department they are serving.

to the law dictionary, police brutality is the use of excessive and/or unnecessary force by police when dealing with civilians. This definition is extremely simplistic when we look at what is going on in the world today. We have seen children be murdered by a police officer, young men taken from their families because of a misunderstanding, and the worst thing about all of this, is it stems from an abuse of power along with stereotyping and racism.

According to police, officers nobody has the right to record. Whether it is publicly, or an investigation being done outside on the street. Now a days we do not have the right to do anything outside in the public. My question is why? If we all have the right to do whatever we want.

did I get myself into. These people have chosen to put their own life at risk; but some say it’s a worthy cost because they say “we protect, we serve”. When I was a high schooler, I always wanted to help the community, I wanted to be more than a volunteer for the communities.

I stand here today to present you with the issue that needs to be addressed immediately: racial injustice and police brutality. America is base on the fundamental principle of equality and freedom to be individual. However, this cannot happen due to the unjust to we, the blacks. Our ancestors helped through the civil revolution, many great people- such as Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, President Obama that try to create equality for people. America is a place where people of different color
Police Brutality and Racial Profiling Police Brutality is defined as the use of excessive force by police officers when they encounter civilians. Police officers are defined as people who are responsible for the prevention of crime. Brutality is defined as, “savage, physical violence.” Police brutality has been alive and well for many years, but a majority of the cases had been recently.

Police abuse is a topic that has been controversial because some argue that police should use their force while others argue the opposite.
