First and foremost I’d like to say that I am against police using their force so willingly. In the New York Times article â€Å"Police Shouldn’t Ask If a Shooting Is Justified, But If It’s Avoidable† by the University of South Carolina School of Law professor Seth Stoughton.

He goes on to say, that the police can’t be the guardians of the community with all the distrust, whenever the people of the community start to trust the police they shoot someone else.
