Starr had dearly wished she had recorded when Malik got pulled over but didn't get the chance to She couldn't save him by doing that but she was able to save her dad and that was ok and she then said on page 311 “what's the point of having a voice if your gonna be silent in in the moments you shouldn't be” This finally convinced Starr to go on the tv interview and speak out about all this and spread the word about Malik and how warped this whole situation was and how the cops where handling it and everyone was asking the wrong questions.

    I was already aware of the issue about discrimination towards blacks and how it relates to police brutality, but before reading this article, I never knew what the main reasons for the discrimination was. In 8th grade, I was supposed to write about a current event, something that had just happened recently. I chose the shooting of Trayvon Martin. At the time, this was a recent incident and it disturbed me that some man would willingly shoot and kill a teenager for no probable reason other than he found Martin “suspicious.” As the case went on to trial, I later found out that Zimmerman, the gunman, was found not guilty.

    Aliya’s Opinion Essay On The Hate U Give Most people live their whole lives not knowing the significance of addressing discrimination in discriminatory-prone neighbourhoods. Hence, I recommend that everyone reads The Hate U Give, which educates a powerful message about discrimination. In this book, we see how the effects of police brutality and white privilege make the lives of people of colour less enticing and dangerous. For instance, we observe how the negligence of the police and society has resulted in the loss of innocent lives, with the police's stereotyped presumptions and prejudices being rationalized as "self-defense" or "police lives matter too" when they have taken a life without incurring any penalty or responsibility.

    This might simply seem as excuses, but because Fassin gets to learn their true stories, the officer goes on to tell him how he lives in a mostly Arab environment and has Arab family members, making it less likely for him to be genuinely racist. Another great example that Fassin provides, which illustrates the racism in policing is when “the cops stop three ‘elegantly dressed’ black men, who they had previously stopped. It is clear that these men are a higher class based on their clothing and the German Luxury car they are driving”(Fassin, 89). The racism comes when the cops say why they stopped them, “they’re not showing off no more now, the bastards”, making it clear that they were only stopped as pure harassment,

People get uneasy around officers of the law usually no matter the situation and in turn can cause the offender or potential offender to display negative emotions.
