Stand Up Against Gun Violence

409 Words2 Pages

We the people should stand up against gun violence. Life is a natural right. Killing is against the law, so why is it we give the "proper authorities" the right to kill those they feel threatened by? Why is it that it 's ok to kill someone if they did something against the rules? Killing them won 't change anything! It will only get rid of them, and now when same situation occurs again you will do the same thing? It will be a cycle of death. The amount of people killed by the police is way to high. I don 't think it is right for those who enforce the law to break the law. It is devastating the amount of death that goes on because of a simple solution that can be solved by just talking. They should be no reason for anyone being hot headed,

    But I feel until there is a real deterrent effect put in place for officers we will continue to see a high volume of use of force in our country. Prosecutors and the courts would have to come together to help deter the amount of use of force because they untimely have the most power even more than the agency. If officers begin to feel that there is a high consequence for unnecessary use of force they will begin to think twice about how they go about encounters with civilians. Police agencies will also have to go more in depth with officers to inform them on use of force and that it will not be tolerated. I feel like that could be the easiest step to help to eliminate it.

As American citizens, we have the power to come together and develop ideas in which we can write up bills and laws. Taking advantage of our right to assemble, and our freedom to come together and mold laws within America is something that all Americans should be grateful for.
