"CRIMINALS WITH BADGES"

Its seems to be that everyday across the country (even across the world) police brutality occurs on a daily basis. Several years back, as little as ten years ago, evidence of a civilians bruised up face or body along with a testimony was sufficient to persue an investigation towards an aggressive police officer(s). In today's modern world, security has reached new boundaries with the assitance of advanced technology, in hopes for a better and safer enviornment for society. Just New York City alone has over 3,000 livestream CCTV survelliance cameras, monitered around the clock by the NYPD , not to mention that, Europe has over 500,000! cameras themselves.



I then ask myself, If it took one bystander's videotaped footage of four LAPD officers on March 3rd, 1991 (The famous Rodney King Beating) to apprehend those police officers, then how come the courts are not locking up more of these abusive cops like wild fire on a daily basis??



Here's why: The public isn't OutRaged enough!! That incident caused so much tension between the black community in Los Angeles, as soon as it aired on the news. In fact, when the police officers were tried in a state court and were aquitted, that was enough to spark the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. Then after a Federal trial for civil rights violations had found two of the officers sent to prison and then the other two aquitted.


  Im not implying that we should all go out rioting to get results when every little incident occurs, but we do need to be smart about our actions when taking it up with the courts. A mass of concerned individuals for their community with a loud voice, proof  and a valid point can make anything happen. The way these police officers take out their frustrations on people in accordance of "doing there job" well, these HD cameras with excellent zoom in & out capabilities can provide more than enough evidence to convict these criminals with a badge.


  Anger can mobilize our response for corrective action, however, uncontrolled anger can affect our personal and social well being.
