St Louis

On Thursday, November 29, 2018 the MSN published an article titled "US police charged with beating undercover officer during protest." As the title of the article says in St Louis police officers beat an undercover cop dressed as a protester. Not knowing anything about the individual except the persons age, no one can tell if it were a racial crime or anything. Since the incident the officers that were involved where only suspended without pay. To me that's not enough because it is still police brutality so for me they should have been fired. In the article it also includes "The protest had been against the acquittal of former officer Jason Stockley in the fatal shooting of Anthony Lamar Smith." Even the reason of the protest had to do with an officer shooting an innocent person  and now even though they were an undercover cop they still beat the person for basically no reason. Everywhere around the word there is something going on with police officers, is it because they think since they have the power that they have the right to do anything they want and if anyone were to fight back well then the person will be arrested. And even so it seem like they only get a slap on the wrist while in reality it a CRIME. In the end something needs to be done that shows that everyone is treated equal no matter what they did, because a crime is a crime and if only criminals go to prison for the thing that some police officers do then heck might as well become a police officer to get away with everything.
