Police being stupid (again)
          This situation is hilarious and stupid at the same time to me. I thought the police were the ones who were supposed to be protecting the citizens, I was wrong. The fact that some people lack common sense hurts me on the inside, what hurts even more is that those people were employed as police. Its not normal to flip a student out of their desk the way the officer did. I do believe that the girl should have been paying attention in class an not on her phone but the consequence should not be violence but her own results. If she's not going to pay attention, she wont get good grades, go to a good college, get a good job, have a good family, or the best life she can live. She doesn't need unnecessary consequences, the path of her life is dependent on the choices she makes. The amount of brute force police use these days just staggers me and in a way frustrates me. Its a problem of power, when you give someone power and the authority to use, of course they will. Police really need to start understanding why they are there and what there responsibilities are. Sometimes this conflict does come from racism but I would say that not generally as much as it used to, yet still the fact that it does happen for that reason is sad.
We live in a world where everyone is a cinematographer, everyone has a very good camera in their pocket and the right to use it anytime, anywhere. So of course if conflict happens students are going to pull out their phones to record, its pure evidence of the incident. It helps judges determine who created the problem and what the consequences are. Then social media is the way that they get the whole world to see their video. People share it, and those people share it with other people. Social Media is the fastest way to distribute a message to the whole world. The students are smart with using it to get a message out and to show the incident.
