In today’s society, cops are now portrayed as power hungry villains abusing their power acting about the law. Many people feel cops need less power. I don’t believe this is the case are all and I don’t agree with this opinion. Some cops, a few amount, may act aggressive or just plain power hungry, but I don’t believe the whole bunch should be penalized for the actions of a few. The people think this way because of the media and families who can’t handle the fact that their kin would do something illegal so they slander the cops. The media only worse the case because they have a hawk eye for bad cop stories. I feel people and the media need to take a step back and let the cops do their job.

Ignorance has no color. God doesn’t see color. Why should we?" (Fox) This was the best description of the issue behind all the police brutality
