What we do TO people is necessary

I am sure that you exited to see that I am writing a paper. I am going to school for a paralegal, and this is for an effective writing class. I would actually like to go and talk to someone at the local police department too, but I am a little nervous as to how they would react to the topic. Never the less, I am writing one on Police Brutality, I need to know were to start, its such a wide variety. I have some great stuff already, such as statistics, some stuff from when your book opened up, I would like to get my hands on the book actually, I have looked at the FBI Library.
I am not so much interested in making the topic on how the police are so terrible that they just run around vandalizing everything when ever they want, because that is not truely what I think, I would like to know, what it is that sparks that choice that they make to react in the manner that they do, is it really race, or going to a situation that they are not trained for, or not ready for? What can we do to change that? I myself think that ( cause I did read about Mad Dads also) think that it is very true that having black, even hispanics on the street will help people of that ethnic group relax, and not perhaps feel so hesitant to say, run, or here come the cops again, or whatever the situation may be.

So, if you are not to busy, I would love some insight from you. Also, in my personal opinion, you should try to stay retired, it looks as though you have done a great deal of work, maybe you could work with people who want to become officers, and instill your knowledge into them.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Most sincerely,

Ms. Jolene J. Granholm
