Police Rights or Student Rights?

 

Although i am not fully aware of what the rights of the police are, I find it hard to believe that pulling a gun on someone for auto theft is not misconduct. It certainly isn’t ethical to presuppose someone is the perpatrator just because they fit a description. I think that sometimes police in general commmand there jobs with more power than they are legally allowed. In the video you can see that the student clearly is down and not trying to cause any type of miscommunication of resistance, yet the police yell and threaten as if the student were standing and reaching for something.

Reguardless of the legal implications here thinking about the ethical concerns, Is it legal to give a person policing powers over another? Even more so should someone without a highschool or college education power over people? As can be seen in business people tend to compensate thereselves when they feel they have been unfairly treated. I think that cops in general are not very nice to people who have had more education, higher salaries, or quite possibly better life’s than they have lived. All in all i find it unethical to give cops the amount of power they currently yeild.
