The battle against if it’s police brutality or not has been going on for years, but why can’t it all just stop? This has all gone too far. On the night of July 7, 2016, one African-American man decided to become a sniper and shoot police officers deliberately at a peaceful protest against police brutality in downtown Dallas, Texas. It brings me to tears that we have come to this point where men decide to kill innocent police officers who protect the citizens of their city from harm as a reasonable response to police brutality. We need to end things like this from happening again.

We need to stop all of this brutality against, not only African-Americans, but all ethnicities. There have been too many cases of police brutality or possible ones, and this needs to end. I’m not saying all of the reactions made by the officers were considered police brutality, but some officers need to stop taking things out of proportions. I have seen plenty of videos taken in different views where it looks like it is police brutality and where it doesn’t, so sometimes it's hard to know if it police brutality or not. One thing is for sure, anything excessive needs to end. We also need to end resist of arrest. We have seen many cases of aggressive responses by police officers to the person who was being arrested where that person was resisting arrest. Remember, resisting arrest and being hostile towards a police officer will be countered with forceful action done by that officer. So, do not think that aggressive behavior towards a police officer will end with a nonviolent response by them. We need to end police brutality and we need to end resist of arrest and violent behavior towards police officers. We need to end it all.

Now when it comes to African-Americans shooting police officers, it does not support the cause of Black Lives Matter. We have seen African-Americans saying they want the death of white police officers at some protests and online through social media. We have also seen a sad handful of cases where white police officers were shot at and killed. The most recent shooting though, was in Dallas,Texas. As said earlier about that horrible, horrible shooting in Dallas, there was no logical reason why that shooting should have happened. Because of that nasty nasty man, five innocent police officers were killed along with seven wounded police officers and two civilians that were wounded as well. This is all too sad and crazy that this is happening. Why would someone think that shooting police officers is a good way to end police brutality? Isn’t it hypocritical that people are trying to change police violence towards African-Americans while some of those African-Americans are having violent thoughts about the death of police officers and a handful of that few are following through with it? The deadly shooting at the peaceful protest against the police shootings of Alton Sterling, Louisiana, and Philando Castile, Minnesota, will not help end the violence between officers and African-Americans. Instead, it will, in no doubt, make it worse. It is not going to scare police officers away from being aggressively forceful towards the African-American race, it’s going to cause police officers to fear the way an African-American might react to their arrest and will cause, possibly, more deadly responses. We need to end this killing for a cause. We need to end it all.
