charged with anything. In 2017 police have shot and killed 987 people. Things like this force people to find the police as people who do more harm than good. This picture shows multiple police trying to restrain one man but it’s obvious that they don’t need that many men and they used excessive force because the man is unconscious on the ground while the four officers restrain him.
If the police would limit them abusing their power or using too much force than it would change the view of police in society. There are many good stories about police but every now and then they shoot an unarmed man and that gets much more attention than rescuing a person in a difficult situation. People always focus on the bad rather than the good so if the police limit the bad then their reputation will increase.
