ferguson police riots

Recent spurs of police brutality have risen up throughout America.  Controversy about these events have sprouted many pushes for political reform throughout the nation.  The main event that caused all of these protests was the murder of Michael Brown.  He was walking down the middle of the road where a cop had stopped him and shot him and when he turned and put his hands in the air the cop fired more shots and shot him dead in the street.  This caused major riots in the city of Ferguson, Missouri where the national guard had to be called in because of the severity of the riots.  Personally i don't think cops are properly in check.  The commissioners need to keep better watch on their officers and really need to punish them when they abuse their powers.  If i were to shoot someone i would get 25 years to life but if a police officer shoots someone he would only get suspended.  These police officers nowadays abuse their power.  If i see a cop i should feel safe but instead now i feel afraid, if they're here for my safety why should i fear them and feel like I'm a bad guy.  There are many reforms that could be made to help keep police brutality down.  For example make all cops wear cameras and have the tapes of those checked everyday.  They wouldn't pull the same stuff they do now if they knew they were being watched.  Another thing that would help is maybe work on their people skills teach them how to properly interact with people instead of beating them or shooting them.  Not everything has to go straight to a gun they carry pepper spray and taser for a reason.   These police comissioners really need to  make some changes soon because a lot of people are outraged by their actions and there are a lot more of us then there are of them and if the people want change, change is what they will get
