I perceive the police to be… I think this about them because people won't break the law

# data[].attributes.body
My perception of the police is that different police has a different identity,some police have done things that hurt others, and they have also done things that the police should not do.But I believe that most people's police are good citizens and law-abiding.  And protect other citizens from harm.There is a personal opinion that most police officers are brave, because prisoners may have weapons that can hurt others.  Under this circumstance, it is very brave to send the police, because they are betting that if the prisoner shoots at him first, then their lives will be lost.

I perceive the police as someone who wants to help the marginalized community but there are some that just want to be the bad guys since most people are scared of polices. Most times if an officer just wants to impress others and they just kill them and the person they kill doesn't get a chance to say goodbye to their family.

I perceive the police to be people who are supposed to protect and help people, but their system and community is flawed and allows corruption and injustice to happen. This is my perception because police has a history of being corrupt, even straight from when they were formed, which is slave patrols to capture run away enslaved people.

I perceive police as people who's job is to take care of their community but I feel like a handful of police don't do their jobs correctly. I think this because some police actually take care of their neighborhoods but I feel like some only care about/protect specific ethnic and racial groups.

I perceive police as people with badges making sure people don´t break the law because I´ve never really thought how I view police as but when I do I perceive them as people with badges making sure people don´t break the law.

I perceive police to be good people who want to protect, but there are some of them who don't do what they are supposed to do and don't have the right mindset.

My perception of police is very complex. Here in Boston I never had an encounter with a bad cop. But I see how other marginalized communities have had to encounter bad police officers. Currently nationwide, many people from different races have experienced police brutality. My perception of the police is for them to be able to keep everyone safe but now because of the lost lives just because of the police 'self protection or he has a weapon. Their mind set, their cuations is the reason why we are losing innocent lives.

I perceive the police between Sarah and Jerome’s perspective because nowadays, most police are not like back then, they are promoting to prevent the occurrence of racial discrimination. In my opinion, I also believe there is still police brutality in the world, that reminds me of George Floyd, who was killed by a police officer because he’s black people, just happened this year. Fortunately, people learned how to show resistance and they protested for marginalized communities. I think this about them because as time goes by, I hope every community can be taken care of and no matter what our identity is, we are all equal and fair.

I mean i have never encountered bad police when I was younger or even now.My perspective of police is that they become police with the right mindset to protect and serve,but when they are being trained to become a police officer there is bias training that some communities are more dangerous than the other and stay away from this certain race or they will kill you or harm you.

I perceive police as how most policemen and women are good people and truly want to protect and help everyone but there are always the ones who feel that they have all the power in the world and could do whatever they want. I notice that the police force is very complex and some of them marginalize communities like the Black, LatinX, and women community. So I will always love the officers who protect and put their life on the line for their community but the ones who do wrong make me scared that one day the whole police system will be corrupt.

i perceive the police to be corrupt i think this because of a lot of the police seem to be really racist. a handful have killed innocent black people threw out a lot of history. this was shown by the George floyd incident where a police officer kneeling on a innocent black mans neck killing him. police are supposed to protect this country and instead they are killing the people in this country for no good reason. this makes people off color in the united states afraid to even call the police because in there mind there's a 50/50 chance that the police that comes will end up shooting them instead. this should not be allowed to continue and it sickens me that they would be allowed to do this because half of the time the court will allow them to get away with it because after the george floyed incident the officer that killed him was allowed to leave which shows how truly corrupt this system is.

My perception of police is that not all police officers are the same. Some police officers don’t just randomly shoot because they look “big” and “scary". And why would you even shoot someone based on their identity? When things like that happen, people think that it’s every police officer’s fault but that’s not true. Every police officer has their own perspective and I think that not all police officers should be blamed if other police officers are making bad decisions.

How I perceive police is a bit similar to Sarah and Jerome. Basically a combination of the both of theirs. To me the police aren’t either good people nor are they bad people. The police will seek justice to certain people but sometimes they are biased to other people. But mainly because of racism that is happening in the world right now. I will always be grateful to those officers who protect the weak and know rights from wrongs but I won't be grateful not will I like officers who use their power for evil instead of good and bully others.

I perceive police as good people but I do believe there are some bad police officers. I generally do believe most police officers are trying to do the right thing but some officers may be abusing their powers for their own benefit or satisfaction. This is a very complex topic because there is evidence of good things police officers have done but the wrongful acts they have committed over shadows the good deeds they have done. I believe they don’t get the credit they deserve when officers do something good but would get blamed immediately if they’ve done a wrongful act. People would go as far as to start protesting, they would start to show resistance, some of them may even sue the police department. The reason I believe in this is because there are many evidence of police officers doing good things for the country but hardly anyone notices it or talks about it. On the other hand, If they’ve done something wrong, everyone would know what has happened.

How I perceive the police are in between because I know they protect us (well some) but police are taking a lot of innocent black people and they kill and a lot of police are corrupting and messing the true nature of being the police and keeping the peace. Another thing police should have been trained with all types of people the rich and poor and all the races and understand them.
