Police Brutality Conclusion

In conclusion, police brutality has been in society since the days of slavery and is based generally around racial profiling. Over the centuries, police brutality has been geared towards middle and lower class African American individuals and now includes Hispanics. The officers that are either responsible or involved in the altercation are still not being held accountable or stepping up to the plate and admitting their faults. Society would not view all police officers or agency as untrustworthy or incapable of providing protection to all ethnicities if the officers would be charged or just simply punished for their actions. Police officers have to take out their personal beliefs and remember that their job duties and responsibilities are to protect and serve the public. The public has to also remember that they have to follow the rules and laws of the land and be able to...show more content...

Police officers and victims have to both realize that there are ways to prevent these acts from occurring. Individuals of authority have to realize that they are still human beings and that the people they are hurting could very well be someone in their family. I am a strong believer in the quote "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", this quote should show people that what you do to someone can come back to you ten times worst or even better. People of all nationalities need to realize that everyone is equal and deserve to be treated as such. There is no amount of money that can give someone a life back. Police brutality can be minimized if the government makes some structural reformation and recognize the issue at hand. The government has to also make sure that they let the officers know they do not get to interpret the law of decide what is considered excessive force and what is not because that is what the law is put in place Get

Sulfide mining has been a highly debated topic in the norther part of our state. Companies such as PolyMet and Twin Metal have proposed sulfide mining in the area despite the publics' opposition. Sulfide mining will permanently damage the environment around it. Although we are given the hopes of new employment opportunities the mining would be a burden to the tax payers as many companies fail to do well in the boom or bust economy associated with mining and the tax payers are left having to cover up the cleanup costs. Sulfide mining should not be allowed in the northern parts of our state as it will destroy our environment, communities and our economy. The first major danger that mining brings is the harm that it does to our lives and our...show more content...

Most mining companies tend to file for bankruptcy leaving contaminated lands and bodies of water for taxpayers to clean up. (Mining Truth MN) Even though the companies deposit money for cleanup costs when starting it is never enough as they are calculated inaccurately and end up costing the state a lot of money for the cleanup. For example the Summitville Mine in Colorado went bankrupt and the mine was abandoned and "The EPA estimates it will cost $100 million to clean up the mine, including millions of gallons of cyanide–contaminated water."(Young and Noyes). Granted that the mining companies would bring new jobs to the area they may significantly alter the business landscapes for other industries. Mining will cause a loss in tourism as more and more people will opt to stay home than visit contaminated water. In addition to the loss of tourisms we are unsure of the true economic changes that mining will bring as we are often provided with unreliable job predictions and unstable employment due to the boom and bust economy. To be sure that mining doesn't negatively impact other thriving industries in Northern Minnesota we should make sure that mining won't happen in our

When it comes to our health, a good healthcare plan is a very important subject for all individuals. Some even argue that it is a basic right to have one. Bernie Sanders stated, "Healthcare must be recognized as a right, not a privilege. Every man, woman, and child in our country should be able to access the health care they need regardless of their income..." ("Issues: Medicare for All"). However, reality tells us a whole different story. America is one of the most developed countries in the world with some of the best medical care. Yet, how can the people enjoy the benefits when it is almost unaffordable to most. People are afraid to fall sick just because they are afraid of how much it would cost. However, sometimes a doctor or hospital visit is unavoidable. In most cases, it comes at a great price, especially to the middle class and the elderly. Wealthy individuals are likely to reap the benefits of having an expensive healthcare plan, while the rest may suffer from the unimaginable cost of treatments, or even worse, live a risky life without insurance. An effective solution to this problem would be a Universal Healthcare System. This would ensure that all people have equal and affordable health coverage, centralized healthcare records for all individuals which will help easy diagnosis by doctors and reduce the intensive labor costs of medical billing. Moreover, it may boost the economy by freeing business from providing expensive healthcare benefits to workers. According to World Health Organization, "Universal Health Coverage means that all people and communities can use the promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health services they need, of sufficient quality to be effective, while also ensuring that the use of these services does not expose the user to financial hardship". (WHO.int) By doing so, we give the people the opportunity to be equal to the rest of the society. Since the cost of a healthcare plan is beyond most people's budget in the United States, the average person spends more money on healthcare insurance than groceries and housing together. This condition leads many to have no coverage at all. In fact, there are over 45 million uninsured residents in the U.S. in it
