The Numbers Are In Black Lives Matter Movement Is Wrong By Edward Shlosser

Have we, as a people, become so fearful to speak what is actually on our minds in the society that we live in? Are we scared that we may offend someone, and have our job taken away from us because of something we have said? In the article, “I'm a liberal professor, and my liberal students terrify me,” Edward Schlosser suggests that students are limiting how professor are able to lecture them. Schlosser is also worried that he may even have his job revoked from him if he slightly upset or offend any of his students. In our society, political correctness has reached an all-time high in the 21st century.

In this excerpt from the article, I stand with his response to this political matter. French explains that he believes that police officers are protecting their lives and as well the lives of the people of society, but he also goes to explain that different individuals enact in crimes at different rates, and the individual who is more prone to committing a crime or felony will be more likely the officer.

With all the police brutality incidents in the U.S, I agree that police officers are protecting themselves and the community, and that they are not intending to mistreat a certain ethnicity. This quote also deals with me emotionally because I feel as if the police officers are going what is right, and they are being blamed by those who are more prone to commit crimes for doing their jobs. While this is one value that I agree with French on, there are many others beliefs that I agree
