Crimes is predominantly an intra racial event of people involving the color of justice, race and ethnicity. Me and my family decided that people don't see people as people no more in the world, they only see people of any color and race as an threat to them and to the society. Though, we had figure to say that it was sad for others to see it that way instead of the right way as just being just people's. My mom once told me “ people never know what they did to they actually really do it”. Anyone can be called a “Niger” but is they really are arrogant, stupid and ignorant no not most of the people but less than a half the population can be those things. My sister disagree with the matter because she said doesn't matter what color or race you are the crime is still going to be committed. For example : if the white man and black or Hispanic man rob the bank at the same time, the police officers would only go after the black man instead of the white or Hispanic man because black mens are known for doing such incidents. That is consider tone racial even though some people might not say, but they think it. Everyone in my family that I talk with told me that they disagree with this and I as well disagree with this. The reason why I disagree with this because of the Michael Brown case and Trevor martin case and Tamir rice case. Tamir rice was gunned down in the park for having a toy gun that is terrible to hear due to fact that he was just a little kid that didn't do anything wrong to anyone. The person who shot him was founded not guilty. In my opinion I feel that the police officers are here to protect our community and the people that are in it. But, Are they really doing they job by shooting and killing off the wrong people that are truly innocent ; no they only making matters worse then before. Our founded father gave the police officers to much rights to do what they please to people other citizens an not one time get justice seek to them if they do wrong. So people of any race and color feel the same way anyone else feel when they other citizens doing bad things or violent crimes to others for no reason at no cost.
