What’s happening in New York City? Protests, arrests, and deaths. People claim that they fear living their everyday lives and that they’re scared of the government officials, like police officers. Now, I have police officers in my family, and I’m not trying to be biased here, but honestly police officers are the ones who keep those people who are complaining SAFE. I understand that the deaths that occurred in Stated Island and Ferguson were tragic events, but if you saw in the video, the man clearly resisted and put up a fight against the police officer (Staten Island). Protesting is a peaceful way to voice your opinion and make a statement, but here’s my opinion: Police Officers make the world, even New York City, a safer place to live. They’re the ones that respond to crimes and they’re the ones risking their lives everyday for the safety of the communities. I thank them for serving me everyday and no matter what, I’m grateful for the ones in my life and the others that are out there doing their jobs.
