#BlueLivesMatter?

What's the largest gang in America? The police. Why do police have military weapons then use them on unarmed. Why isn't there anyone policing police? They have full reign to terrorize their community with minimum risks. You can't defend yourself against a cop or they'll kill you. So basically, even if you're undeserving of their cruel treatment there's literally nothing there can be done about it. Body cams are virtually ignored. There has to be a way to put police in their place because we the people are tired of their antics and deserve better. People of all races and not just blacks are victims to their unjustified treatment of their communities. Enough is enough. We need to come together as one to overcome adversity. We're so divided among cultures but all have one big problem in common. Police. They aren't there to protect and serve but to kill and neglect, drunk with power and have itchy trigger fingers. Eagerly awaiting to take a life no matter how petty the situation. Paramedics answer to the call, fire fighters answer to the call, but police, they activity seek.


To protect and serve. Or to control and conquer? The police should be sued for false advertising their actually purpose. Now more than ever, more and more of the minorities are being shot down in cold blood, not doing a thing to warrant such a fate. But it continues, it continues unchecked. This has always been an issue but the attention has really became mainstream since the unruly murder of Trayvon Martin. Which resulted in the #blacklivesmatters movement created by Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi. George Zimmerman got off with no charges so they created it to bring attention to how easily a cop can kill a black person and get away from it. However, I think the problem surpasses just the black community to all minorities. Specifically, Hispanics and black people. Hispanics, for example, make up 17.6 percent of the U.S. population but represent 23 percent of all searches and nearly 30 percent of arrests as stated by Kenya Downs from “PBS The Rundown.”  she also says “Among minorities, the rate of police killings for Latinos is second to those of African-Americans. As of today, an estimated 94 Latinos have been killed by police in 2016 alone, making up 16 percent of the 585 police-involved killings this year.  In contrast, people who are black or African-American are only 13.3 percent of the U.S. population, but 144 black Americans have been killed by police in 2016. At 25 percent, those deaths represent a disproportionate number of officer-involved fatalities compared to the population.” This is an outrage. Those are 585 lives that could still be with their families spending the holidays together but had their lives tragically cut short. There has to be a change. The police should operate with rules of engagement as the military does. They shouldn't be allowed to fire unless they are fired at first and anything done otherwise is an automatic dishonorable discharge from the police. Furthermore, there is no need for them to have military weapons because they hardly ever deal with such major threats and even if they do that's what S.W.A.T is for. Their power continues to rise as civilians have no power against them. The law is set up to even when wrong, police are always in the right. Proven by David Packman from “POLICE MISCONDUCT” he states “Police Misconduct Statistics and Reporting Project (NPMSRP) which tracked over 8,300 credible reports involving allegations of police misconduct in the US from April of 2009 through December 2010 which involved nearly 11,000 law enforcement officers within those 21 months. Of those reported allegations, only 3,238 resulted in criminal charges against law enforcement officers. Of those 3,238 criminal cases against law enforcement officers in the US, only 1,063 officers were ultimately convicted of those charges or reduced charges associated with the original allegations. Of the law enforcement officers who were ultimately convicted, 36% were ultimately sentenced to spend any time incarcerated and the average length of incarceration for those sentenced to prison or jail was approximately 34.6 months.” These statistics are from 2010 so just imagine how high that number is now. Police’s false duty needs to be address or one day I feel civil war will rise again. There is only so much we can take before matters are taken in our own hands. We can get petitions, have rallies, and protest. Our voices will never be heard. Leaving us with only dire options with dire consequences.

What I think about police is that the white ones can be racist for an example when I had got into that fight last week the police had stop me and my cousin and we was the most black since our skin darker out of my boyfriend and my friend but refuse to believe what me and my cousin was saying when it was us but when my friend spoke and told him everything is fine he said ok and he let us go when he could've just let us go when me and my cousin told him everything was fine to began with why when my biracial friend step up and say something then he automatically said ok and she half white if she wasn't there I feel that he wouldn't had let us goI hate police and wish they fall in a f****** trap and die simple 💀They think they can get away with sh*t ,sexually abuse women , kill people for no reason , be f****** racist and still walk around like they don't do shit ? F*ck them. What happen to them protecting us from the prevention detection of crime?  How are we being protected from this when they doing this  ? When they the ones out here doing the crime ? When they the ones going against the law ? They want to be responsible for our district so why can't they be responsible and man up to the sh*t they do ?"

"Police brutality goes against everything that they stand for "to protect and serve" and i believe they should be retrained on how to handle certain situations '

"I lost all respect for people after the day my best friend's uncle was beat and tazed for no reason in front of public right in the middle of the street. He was killed and all for nothing. Recently, I watched a man get beat while being bite by a K9 just because he stole a car. So what do I think of police? F*ck em." 

The people have spoken.
Yet the government reminds ever silent.
 If change doesn't happen now the repercussions will be violent.
