She does in a way admit that there are good officers that do their duty and do not abuse the power but she doesn’t focus on them as much as the bad officers.

I know that she is bias by the way she uses words and phrases such as outrage and angrily. The author has a combination of objective and fact base message in the article. I can tell because the details in the article are mostly opinion and we don’t have a clear reference to view what the author is referring to. However, we can look up cases that she has stated and that would be the facts that can influence our decision about this article. The mediums of the presentation does affect the quality and credibility of this author. The website I used appears to be a well gathered site and the skill of writing techniques of the author are good which leads me to have a good first impression. Also, there is a photo of the author in the beginning of the article which allows me to picture the person as if they were reading the article to me. In conclusion, the discussion about police brutality can be a continuous conversation. It’s hard to distinguish between a bad cop and a good cop now a days but hopefully with intervention of the community it can all be resolved were we have a system that allows law enforcement staff to be charged with what they have done. We all need to pay for laws that are broken and just because you are an officer it doesn’t mean you can get away with abusing the power we have trusted you
