Police officer takes advantage of his power

     I would like to talk about the violence that is going on lately. It's surprising to see a police officer taking advantage of his power. Just because you're a policeman does not mean you can do whatever you want. In the latest incident, cell phone video shows Lt. Jonathan Josey hitting a woman at the Festival de las Americas following the Philadelphia  Puerto Rican Day Parade. It hurts me to see such a thing. Officers are here to protect and help the community not to be against it. The citizens have to pay some respect to the officers but they can't forget that they have to respect us too. They are many ways to solve misunderstandings and with violence is not the way.  In my opinion, the officer didn't had to punch the lady at all. If he's an officer he should know better. What concerns me the most is that even officers are acting violently when there suppose to be a figure of discipline and courage. I ask myself, what is this world coming to? Everything can change if we communicate better and stop resolving things with violence and aggression. To conclude, we have to be more careful of what we do and what we say. We must respect our peers and communicate better with them so that we can see a change in the world.

Here is the link of the disturbing video of the police officer hitting the woman at the festival ;
