What do I think of the police?

            I don’t really agree with these interviews, many of their experiences are based off their police experience may have been a bad one, so they think all police are bad or all police are racist, when that isn’t the case. Yes, as well all know with the media not a days that not every cop is a good cop, but the media only covers the stories that talk bad about the police. When do they ever talk about when a officer did something well? For example, Did anyone see when the Lakewood SWAT team should up for a Autistic boy birthday party? I have a funny feeling you didn’t because that didn’t make the cut for the news companies, they only show the stories that sell.  I believe that for people to see BOTH side of Law Enforcement. If you ask any Police Officer, they will tell you the police isn’t a pretty job and people should see it for it really is, not Monday morning quarterbacking their decisions on the morning news sipping their coffee. The comment that struck me the most was when the man from Mexico City said “police should only have, maybe a Taser.” I actually laughed out loud at this comment. If people thing that if the police aren’t armed then the shooting will stop, well they have another thing coming. I live in the City of Chicago and I have spoke to many detectives’ who work homicides and shooting. 4300 people were shot in Chicago in 2016 and people want the police not to be armed. How does that make any sense if bullets are flying left and right?
