Force Or Guns Are Not Needed All The Time

Force or Guns Are Not Needed All the Time Twelve year old Tamir Rice was playing around in the park with his black BB gun and next thing he knows he is shot. The last thing he sees is his sister running to him, screaming. Then there was Antonio Martinez, who was twenty one years old and had Down syndrome was given no warning when he was pepper sprayed, and tackled to the ground for seeming suspicious. While it might be necessary to use force to apprehend a suspect in a wrong doing, it is not acceptable for police to use it in certain situations. When they give no warning or reason for using force, wrongful stereotyping, and assuming too fast that the suspect has a weapon when they really do not are just a few of these situations.

I see a scenario play out was showing these two police officers who were standing by two cars, it seems like they were giving a ticket. The camera had zoomed out but when it zooms back in it shows one of the cops running a black girl who is just calmly minding her own business. It shows the cop not giving any warning (maybe just shouting hey!) before throwing her against the wall of the building and then slamming her down to the ground to cuff her.

Then there is Antonio who was a 21 year old with Down syndrome, trying to get back to his family’s bakery when he is given no warning when he is pepper sprayed and is beaten by cops. From the cops view they had been investigating a domestic violence dispute and saw Antonio. He seemed suspicious to the cops when he walked by them and covered his head with the hood of his sweater. They go on to chase him down and try to get him to show his hands. When they put him in the police car they see that he is mentally disabled.

Its a little kid who is waving an object in a park, the last thing it would be is a gun. Just because a guy seems suspicious doesn’t mean he
