The Police Officer Needs to Go to Jail

I have had issues with the police. One time they told me to sit down and I didn’t want to. But they made me sit down. As for the police officer who shot Oscar Grant, I think that he needs to go to jail because there are a lot of people who are protesting and angry at him -– feeling like if it was anyone else, he would surely be in jail. I was involved in the protests in Oakland, and I felt that it was a way to let the police know it’s not okay to act that way just because they got the power. I feel that the protest was a good way to make changes in this world. I also feel it was good that a lot of people came together and spoke on how they felt.
