By Matthew Melton Police brutality psy 310

Intro For this presentation I am going to write about how I feel about police brutality, how it effects how I act when pulled over by the police, and how I feel that it can be prevented. I am also going to talk about the recent NFL protests against police brutality as well.

Feelings About Police Brutality I feel that police brutality is something that can definitely be prevented I also feel that if an officer shoots a unarmed man more than once or shoot more than necessarily they should be prosecuted. I honesty do not think that it will be stopped until the policemen start to get more training and get taught to defuse certain situations that honestly do not have to go that far.

What I do When Pulled Over I keep my hands on the wheel unless directed to do other wise I always say yes sir and I also do not do anything to make the officer mad I look straight ahead Lastly I never reach for anything so that the officer does not think that I have a gun

Ways to Prevent It Police need to get more training in communicating with different backgrounds, and also with people who have disabilities The media needs to portray more positive things about black males Police need to investigate more thoroughly before jumping to conclusions as well.

NFL Protest Collin Kapernick started the protest in order to bring awareness to how black males were being killed by cops. The media and others claimed that he was being disrespectful to the flag. Kapernick is currently a free agent quarterback and is currently being blackballed by the NFL The NFL basically said that the reason he does not have a job is because his play declined. President Trump has constantly been in the news and has stated that if a player protest than they should be fired I think that if more of the white players support the movement it can cause a major change The NFL has recently donated one million dollars to help support Malcolm Jenkins in order to stop the protest I think that he should refuse to take the money and help the protest to continue.

Conclusion In conclusion I have talked about how I feel about police brutality, how it effects how I act when pulled over by the police, and how I feel that it can be prevented. I am also going to talk about the recent NFL protests against police brutality as well.
