Police Brutality Have We Punished The Wrong People

Police Brutality: Have We Punished the Wrong People?

Today, society as a whole has a tendency to define most actions taken or carried out by police officers as forms of brutality. To fully understand the implication of the word, one must look at the beginnings, of said word. The colloquy brutality originates from the Latin word Brutus, which translates to brute. Brutality would be the do of all of the sizable. When breaking down the word as such, it begins to receipts on a far more serious style, possibly even frightening, when fit to some of the simple circumstances that occur to day. Is it just what we hear in the news and in the paper or is their a real issue here that needs to be taken seriously? Do the police have a choice or are there some certain times when a more forceful action needs to be taken condemn some of these criminals.

Some critics view most of police actions as being cruel, bordering on heathen. How can they use equivalent terminology to judge the countless women and women that risk their lives daily for the safety of everyone, regardless of race, sex, or orientation? These men and sexuality have undergone jumbo training, physical and mental, as well as psychological. Some of what they have had to endure, to fulfill a position performing a thankless job with dwarf pay and very few benefits, may well have toughened them up, but they are still human. They make mistakes in judgment calls the same as anyone else. Some calls are purely based on survival and how do we as citizen's judge something like this when we have never been faced with such raw evil.

Much, some of the verbal, and too often physical, bully they must lengthen throughout the course of a normal day would border on the definition of brutal; however, society forgets those instances. They find it easier instead to judge them by certain standards, yet ignore what is done wrong against them. Perhaps it is the lack of support for police officers and the jobs they do, that we, as a society, are forcing them to sever any emotional ties they once had for their jobs, and making it halfway necessary for them to react as strongly to any whereabouts as they are able. Smuggle little or no support, they are virtually left on their own to survive in a world that most people do not even realize exists.

Instead of applauding their achievements, we publicly criticize their actions and decisions, only helping to further the dislike, distrust, and disrespect of police officers everywhere. They and their families often feel ostracized from normal society, and sometimes resort to forming their own 'societies or families'. Perhaps it is time we takings a step back and bad eye at the terms us so freely use against them, and in all certainty knows what is being implied at any apt extent. Labeling them as brutal is implying they are no better than animals - - would you impart on your animals to handle car accidents, homicide calls, or domestic situations? Of course they are not. Laugh at the idea, but that is in fact what is being said.

We might just have the definition of 'police brutality' down to an exact science, but are we pointing our fingers at the right perpetrators? Police officers suffer daily, through all types of abuse, and they are expected to maintain a professional attitude at unitary times, while wiping spit from their faces, or enduring a string of obscenities from a simple traffic blank wall. What then is this called? I conjecture it falls subservient the label of 'police brutality' only it is being done to them, not by them. If we want a change, it has to begin lock up us. Show support of the police officers, follow the laws and take a stance against those that do wrong. They guard us hide their lives - - the least we can do is support them during ours.
