So, after a few years of football camps came my freshman year and I made the varsity team and lettered that year. A second childhood dream was to try and be a captain on the hockey during my 4 years of bantam and Jr gold hockey. That’s when my senior year of hockey came, and I made captain.

Another childhood dream was I wanted to win a state soccer championship during my time as a soccer player.

    In the beginning of the book, Hayes states, “There are fundamentally two ways you can experience the police in America: as the people you call when there’s a problem, the nice man in uniform who pats a toddler’s head and has an easy smile for the old lady as she buys her coffee. For others, the police are the people who are called on them. They are the ominous knock on the door, the sudden flashlight in the face, the barked orders. Depending on who you are, the sight of an officer can produce either a warm sense of safety and contentment or a plummeting feeling of terror.” (Hayes, 2017, p. 1-2)

If I was in charge they would not be in such a high power, so we would need to change the behaviors of the current and future police. This could be done by providing extra training and a more in depth education. To really ensure a long term change, we would also have to recruit and hire more law enforcement. I would have each officer in a different specialty to really excel at their job because many people do not believe the police are doing their job or if so they are not doing it well.

This has been due to the way some officers have handled certain situations in which the use of violence or deadly force could have been avoided.

The media has also contributed in promoting the idea that most cops are bad by transmitting, over and over, videos of police officers abusing their power.
