Do You Trust The Police? - Reflection

First off, I really enjoyed how VICE News covered this issue. The answers to the question at hand was covered on both sides. Some individuals said that they have total trust in police officers while other do not. Although, I do wish that more individuals from minorities were interviews. For example, the men interviewed in Chicago were all white. Although, there have been a lot of civil rights violations and use of force cases in Chicago involving African Americans. Including those individuals would of allowed for more diverse answers. Yet, it was awesome hearing from people across the globe. It gives the audience a better understanding of how the police work outside of their own country. Also, this video is definitely a tool to get people talking about the current views about law enforcement. VICE News does a great of hitting both sides of the issue with the interviews and not having a bias. Furthermore, there was a comment that struck me. One man from Mexico talked about how police should only have a taser. We talked a little bit about this in class and in my opinion police should be armed for their own protection and for others. Like Brian said in class, when the ones committing the crimes are unarmed, the police can be as well.
