In Washington the police are at it again, injuring pedestrians like police all over the United States have been over the past year. However in this case, many claim the pedestrian brought it on himself, but I believe that the police men could have found other means. This particular pedestrian was throwing rocks at cars, and when the police asked him to stop he threw one at the police. The police have been said that they used a taser but it had no effect. After the taser didn't work the officers shot the man, leaving him fatally wounded. He was later pronounced dead.
Those who are supposed to protect use often fail us, in history solders have often rising up against the people, the boston massacre is one example. Without much aggrevation they moved upon innocent people, like they do today.

I understand that police had to take some type of violent action in this scenario but the police academy needs to teach future officers how to aim when shooting. If police shot at the mans hand or foot, then they would've taken him out without killing them. The police need to think better and not be so aggressive.
ReplyDeleteI think police jump too fast to deadly weapons and end up hurting people more than they do solve crimes.
