If you've been watching TV lately, you've probably seen multiple number of innocent people shot down or beaten to death by apparently well trained police officers. Many people have very passionate opinions about these incidents where as I for some reason really don't. I'm glad I am behind a screen because if I had said that in front of anyone, I'd probably be beaten to death myself. It's not that I don't care, because I do. My heart goes out to the people that have lost a son or daughter, brother or sister, or a friend in these incidents. It is bothersome that a force that is supposed to protect and help people is doing the exact opposite.
So, for the sake of arguing, I will throw in the already-burning-fire is that the way police officers are trained should be revised. Whatever old dusty pamphlet is being used needs be thrown in this fire too, because obviously it has same major mistakes. Not only does the way officers are trained need to be revised, but how much leeway is given by the 'trainer' needs to be set strict. If an officer doesn't meet regulations or standards, he or she should not be in the field until they do meet the appropriate expectations.
Nadia, I like that you said he or she for the officer. It's good to acknowledge that both genders can succumb to being power hungry.
ReplyDelete- lean way means a skinny path, I think you mean leeway, which means variation
- closer to none than not, is an awkward way to say there should be strict guidelines
