A Call For New Protocol

On Saturday December 16, there was a protest march in Manhattan, New York. It spanned down fifth avenue pass all the big stores. The march was to protest the Sean Bell murder and for change in police protocol. People are demanding change in the way cops are trained. Some believe they are trained to target certain groups and people for how they are dressed. People believe the cops are taught and told to racial profile, so they target and approach citizen based on certain criteria. This is definitely wrong their have to be better ways of detecting law breakers, because mistakes like in the Sean Bell case cant be tolerated. Innocent people losing their life for no reason is not good public service by the police. I personally believe they should poll the mistake made from year to year. This would also encourage better protocol.
