1." If the police told me to do something, I'd just do it that's why I'd still be alive." Whether or not you did what police officers told you to do or not, if you are white, your more than likely do not have to fear for your life when interacting with the police.( Argument to to antiquity or tradition) I picked this one because is true it's like a tradition or something cops often do they act more violent when they see Hispanics or African Americans.
2." Let the police do their job." The job of the police is to serve and protect the people of the public- which include African American and other minorities. (Argument or appeal to the public) I picked this one because is obvious that the job of the police is to protect everyone no matter what is their race or ethnicity. I'm sure most of the people will agree that the police has the duty to protect everyone.
3." Not all police are bad." It can also be argued that not all white people supported slavery or Jim Crow- many didn't. (Argument or appeal to numbers) A lot of people can argue that not all the cops are bad . However there are still cops who do mistakes in their job. Not because a lot of people argue that" not all police are bad" it doesn't mean there are not bad police out there.
4. "If you don't like the police, don't call them when you need help." In many black and minority communities, call for help from the police are often left unanswered. (Argument or appeal to pity) This matches good because if the police doesn't help minorities how can they expect a good relationship with them?
5. "Until we get both sides of the story we don,t know what really happened" One side of the story will forever be absent from the conversation surrounding police brutality: the side of the story from the victims who were murder. (Argument to logic) I think is true if you don't have all the information of what happened. The victim dies which means you won't have his version of what happened. Is logical to believe that that in order to know what happened you also need the version of the victim (person who was murder) however that's impossible.
