POV
Reports of widespread police brutality and abuse are exaggerated. Only rarely do officers use excessive force, though they must often make instant decisions in tense situations. Crime has steadily declined over the last two decades as the result of assertive policing. Creating civilian review boards only adds to bureaucracy, invites political manipulation, and keeps police from doing their jobs.

OP. POV
Police departments across the country too often use excessive force, injuring and occasionally killing people who pose little threat. Members of minority groups and the poor are frequently the victims of police brutality. Police departments must shed their cover-up culture and institute reforms, such as creating or strengthening civilian oversight boards to investigate and prevent incidents of police brutality.]]> 2016-09-19 14:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderstoll/f0mioe6circ1/wish/124765918 Quality Water  https://padlet.com/alexanderstoll/f0mioe6circ1/wish/124766143 Despite the fact that the United States has one of the largest and safest supplies of water in the world, community water sources are still subject to contamination.

The right to freely exercise one's religion does not include the right to discriminate against others. Some religious freedom laws are so broadly written as to allow anyone to justify discriminating against anyone else simply by claiming a religious belief.]]> 2016-09-19 14:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderstoll/f0mioe6circ1/wish/124766656 Should we legalize marijuana https://padlet.com/alexanderstoll/f0mioe6circ1/wish/124766711 2016-09-19 14:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderstoll/f0mioe6circ1/wish/124766711 Should we legalize marijuana https://padlet.com/alexanderstoll/f0mioe6circ1/wish/124766762 Is legalizing the dank ]]> 2016-09-19 14:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderstoll/f0mioe6circ1/wish/124766762 Should we legalize marijuana https://padlet.com/alexanderstoll/f0mioe6circ1/wish/124766844 Is legalizing the dank kush ]]> 2016-09-19 14:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderstoll/f0mioe6circ1/wish/124766844 Should we legalize marijuana https://padlet.com/alexanderstoll/f0mioe6circ1/wish/124766958 Is legalizing the dank kush beneficial to the community or should we keep it off the street]]> 2016-09-19 14:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/alexanderstoll/f0mioe6circ1/wish/124766958 Right to Die https://padlet.com/alexanderstoll/f0mioe6circ1/wish/124767215 -May 2013, Vermont became the 4th state to legalize assisted suicide to terminally ill patients

The group can only be defeated by a strong display of military force, which includes a ground campaign. If ISIS is not stopped, it will continue to carry out heinous terrorist attacks around the world.

As proven by the disastrous U.S. presence in Iraq, little long-term progress can come from U.S. military intervention in the Middle East and Persian Gulf. U.S. interference—particularly ill-planned, short-term operations—aggravates sectarian tensions without compelling local powers to assume responsibility for stabilizing and securing their own territory.
