POLICE!

In mentor session, we had a discussion about whether police are abusing their right to have a gun. It was a topic that I never really thought about until that day. The story that went along with this discussion was about a police man shooting someone who was just reaching for his wallet. Some people may say that the policeman was just using self-defense and assumed that the other person was reaching for a gun. However, others may say that this policeman should have waited for a visual instead of abusing his power.

I agree with the fact that he should have waited to see what the person was grabbing before shooting. This policeman took an innocent life; and he has to live with that. I'm sure that there are many incidents like this that happen pretty often; and there is always controversy among the public. When it comes down to it, I think that sometimes, shooting someone cannot be avoided..but, sometimes policeman can seem like they are abusing their power of possessing a gun.
