Police Shooting/Diallo Case :: essays research papers

     In our society today, it is very sad that the African-American community has lost a great trust and respect for the Mayor, the guard commissioner and the N.Y.P.D. Amadou Diallos shooting was very touch for the African-American community. The shooting shock many people because an unarmed open black male was shot 41 times in await of his home by quaternion officers that assume him to be a rapist.      Amadou Diallo was a black man in a primarily black propinquity who saw four guys in the middle of the night and perhaps he thought these four undercover natural law were somehow looking for trouble. He probably said," I dont want to be a part of this", and tested to leave the scene. If I were in the same particular situation as Amadou Diallo, I would be just as afraid and try to get d have out of the scene. No one actually knows what Diallo was thinking about, you can besides imagine. People often say that if Amadou Diallo had listen to the cops he wouldnt have been killed. I also hear people say the he cause his own death because of his lack of submission. Personally, I know Amadou Diallo stood innocent before those cops. Diallo was in a situation that he had no clue about. There was an dirt when the verdict "Not Guilty" broke out. Many people were furious, astounded and stunned. When I heard that the case was not guilty I was so shocked because I felt that the evidence was perfectly clear that the four New York police officers was GUILTY. It was not fair to my community or me to cypher such a case misjudge like that. African-American communities has changed their paddy wagon toward Police DautrucheOfficers. Police Officers are the ones who we are suppose to trust and allow with our lives. Obviously, in our world today, that is not the case.      I have never had a dispute with an officer, though I have seen my friends go through events with police officers. For instance, I was in an elevator with my friend and when we got to the last floor, a police officer was right in front of the elevator. So when my (guy) friend and me came out, the P.O. Pointed his ordnance store toward my friends chest and ask him some questions. The P. O did not approach me or even acknowledge me.
