Rip To All Who Died From Police Brutality

It's hard to see a young unarmed man die in the hands of the police... Doesn't matter what color of your skin is, or if he's a criminal or not. If he's not holding up a gun, then shooting him to death is murder. I understand being a cop is dangerous, nerve racking. Gotta make split second decisions... But if this is your job description, then you have to uphold the law the way you were sworn to do. Not take the law into your own hands for a personal vendetta... Cause he got away, or didn't answer your questions like you wanted him to do. I got a question to ask you ? Were you bullied in school, now you're all grown up... And decided to be a cop, and take all your angry out on whoever you feel disrespected you. Cause if so, it's only gonna get worse. I only speak of law enforcement officers who abuse their authority, a few bad seeds doesn't kill a tree... There's plenty of hard working, caring, respectful officers out there. Don't judge them all for the actions of a few. For civilians and law enforcement to eventually get along, they have to learn to respect each other... Before it gets worse. How can we police the world, if we can't police our own here back home. RIP Michael Brown Written by: Poet Shi

Very good write ...I agree that there are good and bad police officers... ...but when the bad officers kill innocent people and are not held accountable then we have a breakdown in society ...the law should be applied equally
