In order to make the world a better place I would like to see less police brutality through stricter laws in government, a change in the way police are trained, and deeper investigation in issues of police brutality. Police brutality should be lessened because police are meant to be there to protect a community; however, the people being targeted by brutal police tactics, such as racial minorities, feel less safe due to the actions of the police and their abuse of power. This abuse includes taking advantage of someone, manipulation, an unfair gain of benefits for the police, assault, and physical or verbal maltreatment towards people.

There is a very disproportionate number of people targeted by police between minorities and those that are not. The racial generalizations that are often the backbone of police enforcement strategies in the world may seem subtle to those that have not experienced it, however for those that have experienced this deeply rooted prejudice it is difficult to move past unless the issue is moving towards being solved. One of the reasons generalizations of racial minorities exist is because of racial profiling. According the Justice on Trial publication, assumptions that minorities commit a majority of the crimes that happen is the main reason for why minorities are targeted much more than Caucasians. But this assumption is very flawed and not well supported. The Civil Rights Organization states that statistics show less than 10 percent of all blacks are even arrested in a single year.

In addition, using extreme violence to protect society from dangerous elements is unethical because it goes against normative ethical standards that regulate right and wrong conduct in society. The use of violent behavior on societies by those in power, such as police, is unethical because it enlists fear in the community. When people are scared they tend to act out of fear and start riots that are filled with violence, for example in Ferguson, Missouri there have been many riots in the community against the actions of the police to brutality shoot and kill an unarmed black man.The result is clear chaos that makes the world worse because there is no control or order. Having control is important because it makes laws easier be maintained and followed if there is order in government. Also it helps to keep people and communities more safe because there isn’t rampant violence happening everywhere caused by the
