Are police officers Civilians or not?

Of the people who get arrested, some of them are not so bad. Some of them would probably be willing, when on probation or parole, or even when released, to do some work on this. They might be willing to talk to groups of young people and explain how to act when you are approached by an Officer, what the Officer is allowed to do under the law, and why.

I think a lot of young people have no idea. Of course, it would be good for officers to get a chance at this sometimes too, under peaceful conditions. And here is a pet issue of mine.

Police need to have training on how to deal with a mentally ill person. The same principles would apply to somebody on drugs. A lot of cops have no idea, get scared or mad, and don't know what to do.

I've heard stories! The Sandra Bland case is one of these. Though the cop in that case did not harm her, he clearly didn't know how to proceed.

And the jail was worse. Dealing with a mentally impaired person is actually a frequent necessity, and we need more cops who know how. Of course, you must not expect that an impaired person will appreciate you, lol.

Some will, some won't. But their friends and family will.

The police have been already implementing community based programs with great success I might add - also the movie police academy citizens on patrol might help you get some insight into the start of police life.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
