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 regard for the Mayor, the law commissioner and the N.Y.P.D. Amadou Diallos shooting was very upsetting for the African-American community. The shooting shock many people because an unarmed innocent bneediness male was shot 41 times in front of his home by four officers that assume him to be a rapist.      Amadou Diallo was a black man in a mainly black neighborhood who saw four guys in the middle of the night and perhaps he thought these four undercover police were somehow aspect for trouble. He probably said," I dont want to be a part of this", and tried 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 out of the scene. No one actually knows what Diallo was thinking about, you can only imagine. batch 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 outrage when the verdict "Not unrighteous" broke out. Many people were furious, astonished and stunned. When I heard that the case was not guilty I was so shocked because I felt that the proof was perfectly clear that the four New York police officers was GUILTY. It was not fair to my community or me to see such a case misjudge bid that. African-American communities has changed their hearts toward Police DautrucheOfficers. Police Officers are the ones who we are suppose to trust and entrust with our lives. Obviously, in our world today, that is not the case.      I have neer had a dispute with an officer, though I have seen my friends go through so farts with police officers. For instance, I was in an elevat or 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 gun toward my friends chest and ask him some questions. The P. O did not approach me or even acknowledge me.
