ReplyDeleteIn the article written by Michael Wines we are postulated with the idea that race plays a big role on how police officers carry out their duties. Although there is no clear evidence to back it up, our society keeps on asking the controversial question: does racial prejudice preeminence in law enforcement? In my opinion color does not stand between another day alive and how an event might go down in history. Fight and flight instinct has been saving humans since the begging of time and that is not going to change even if the media might tries. I believe that the question is not concerning race but pertaining to unnecessary violence decaying our society.
