WHY I/YOU CARE Why I care – I always find these ‘police killings’ of high interest, the fact that we all justify and accept the police killing someone on the streets. It fascinates me that we remove our moral perceptive when an ‘official’ kills another member of society on the streets. But for every ‘police killing’ there is an investigation into it, to see whether it is justice or not. I find that interesting, especially in the context of America that they often come to the conclusion no repercussion will occur on the officers. Why we should care – Police officers killing civilians means they are above the law rather than enforcing it. However the use of excessive force by police officers is used in a situation that is seen as dangerous to them. Therefore making the issue a grey area and an issue topic to portray.
