The Washington Post Analysis

I am happy to write you after reading your following article of the recent Minneapolis case ruling. The information you provided is exact, but I would like to share with you my concerns over the police shooting and the fact that the officers will not be charged. Officers in this field of criminal justice have been acting without any restraint against them. Not all officers are bad and act without restraint, but the ones that do are the ones that need to be charged with the same crimes others would in civilian clothing. In a article on The Washington Post, titled Thousands Dead, Few Prosecuted; a post analysis found that among the thousands of fatal shooting at the hands of police officers since 2005, only 54 officers have been charged. I think this should be a very different number given the death toll.
(1)”Freeman acknowledged Wednesday that police are faced with difficult choices when they must make split-second in potentially fatal situations.” I agree with this, but there is a line that needs to be drawn and never crossed. I understand the life and death situations officers
The few that do act where they are wrong, show what holes we have in the system. Officers that act with brutality and sometimes fatally, should not be able to get off as free as they do. The few that do get charges are a start, but as a society I believe we have a long way to go. All I suggest is a bond to be formed between community and precinct. A strong bond formed can strengthen ties between officer and citizen and lessen fatal conflicts. In conclusion, I enjoyed reading your article. It has made myself aware to the holes in the system of criminal justice. Realizing this will only make myself want to increase my knowledge on ways to strengthen communities and lessen police brutalities. It will make me want to think of different ways to make changes in the criminal justice
