CONNECTING THE DOTS

My initial reaction to the paper was not knowing what to do it on. And also that I didn't want to do it at first. But I realized I would have to just power through it. Then I realized I could incorporate my interest in psychology into the research paper. After I realized this it seems as if the paper would be easier. It would be easier in the way that I would be able to have a legitimate interest in the paper. And not be forced to do a paper that I wasn't interested in.

I don't think the boy should've been killed. But I do see why the police fired upon him. I don't know and nobody will ever know the thought process of the boy before the incident. And nobody will ever know the thought process of the policemen. I just don't know how the boy didn't expect something like that to happen. It's as if he was oblivious to the whole situation and it seemed as if he didn't care. This event shouldn't have happened,but it did.

Racial Profiling Lives On

Stop and frisk is a really unnecessary thing and the police are using it in an unfair way. It's all based on how the person who gets stopped and frisk looks. And most people who do get stopped are African Americans or Latinos. So it is racially profiling even though the police force and mayor Bloomberg says it isn't. And it also doesn't help that there probably is a couple or a hand full of cops who are racists and use this law in order to just harass certain races. I don't think this law was thought out before it was implemented and if it was that's just embarrassing.
