Critical Thinking

The news article I'm choosing to discuss about and talk about the different viewpoints is the prosecution of an East Palo Alto Man who killed an East Palo Alto officer. My view is that officer's in general, especially East Palo Alto Police don't do their jobs correct. Furthermore I believe every time a police dies because of a street person they automatically say "Oh he's a cold blooded killer" and don't try to figure if there was any motive for that person to shoot back at an officer such as him not doing his job and abusing his authority as an officer. The story that's getting told out in the public like usual is that there was a fight that broke out outside a Taqueria and that the officer chased the defendant trying to arrest him but got shot to death. But forensic evidence shows that the officer fired first at the defendant while running away then hit him with his baton before the defendant ever fired back. But, back to seeing this in another view. People will say that the man was just another thug who was so cold blooded to kill an officer that was doing his job. But let me explain more why I feel the way I do about my view on this news article and police. First of all I hate how when an officer dies it gets all over the news but when a regular living person dies out in the streets they tell it in a minute and leave it at that. Second of all what ticks me off is how officers pull over minorities for no apparent reason and come up with some bull excuse to tell them this is why I pulled you over. Then they start asking for names and where they live and all these other questions that they don't have any right asking them because these minorities weren't doing anything. Last and furthermore this is the main reason why I don't like officers and know that they don't do their job and actually serve their community. My brother was shot and killed, walking distance (literally a block away) from the East Palo Alto Police Station at 1 pm and the thing that pisses me off is that how does it take three hours to get to where my brother was shot and killed and start putting yellow tape around a crime scene. This is why I see this article in my point of view. Police officers as always are treated as if they are more than human. They kill somebody in the streets none the less someone in handcuffs and receive a couple of years in jail instead of the death penalty. Man all I got to say is this so called "JUSTICE SYSTEM" in America is a bunch of bull and there isn’t any justice in this world. The minorities and other people in the community are the ones who face the consequences but the people who are in the law are the ones who really get away with murder and miss conduct against a victim.
