Marco Rubio Police Rhetoric

The amount of police brutality has either gone way out of proportion or has just been in the national spotlight. Marco Rubio did talk a lot about police brutality and how it has escalated to very violent measures. He does say, "'The overwhelming and vast majority of law enforcement officers in this country are just trying to do their jobs," Rubio told Fox News' Bill O'Reilly. "It is troubling that there are groups and rhetoric out there now that is encouraging people to demonize law enforcement, to target law enforcement or in some cases, quite frankly, to misrepresent what law enforcement is trying to do.'" I agree with him here on how law enforcement is just trying to do their jobs, there are instances where there are definite evidence of people being brutalize, but the attention it is getting doesn't seem to be reaching the white house. This seems to be a national issue that we need to focus on since it's starting riots and people causing chaos in the streets. It's getting a little ridiculous and I definitely think that all the presidential candidates should be talking about this and worrying about the future of law enforcement.

Law enforcement is here to protect the public. HAs that what has been going on recently? No. There should be absolutely no reason for police brutality. But that raises the question when is it police brutality and have they been trained correctly to protect the citizens of the united sates and themselves. Also the media has been owning this situation for a long time. It is difficult to tell what really happened in a police brutality due to the media and police cover ups.
