Hello everyone, and welcome to my blog.
This is my kickoff post, it will be addressing the topic and goals of this blog.
"Where do we draw the line?" is a blog about police brutality and its effects on this country and its citizens. Hopefully, this blog will shed light on this serious problem and on the trends that seem to be made by these conflicts.
I chose the title because the real question is where will we draw the line between law enforcers doing what they deem fit, and law enforcers abusing their power over us. How soon will it be before we are fully seeking protection from our supposed protectors? And when will we say enough is enough?
This blog is meant to provide you with the means to answer those questions.

I agree that the police are seeming to become more violent towards people. Also I think we are making progress in having police take responsibility for their actions when people take video of the violence. Do you think that the brutality is an issue of race like some people have said? I really liked your political cartoons they seem to lighten up a serious topic and ad humor.
ReplyDeleteI think that while race does play a big part of police brutality, that the stereotypes placed by society are a bigger influence than anything else, which is why race gets caught up into that a lot.
