Original Commentary #2

        One of the concerning issues trending in the united states is the miscommunication between police officers and the citizens. This has been a a big issue especially since the shooting of Michel Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. A lot of citizens are distancing from police officers and questioning whether or not if they're doing their job properly. This is risky for both police officers and the citizens concerning their safety since it has put a big gap between each other. To avoid this, people across the nation have been trying to protest to get some attention so the situation can be better be dealt with. 

        By signing a petition, one requirement that the citizens are seeking is for police officers to wear body cameras. This made some officers to be under pressure and required them to be very cautious in their actions so they won't be blamed. Even though I think this idea of having body cameras for police officers can be very beneficial for everyone, it could be a bit costly. This means the government has to purchase a body camera for every single officer in the united states which could be too expensive. That's why I believe for the safety of their own, police officers should purchase their own body cameras. They will have the evidence that they need in any accusation that comes against them. It wouldn't hurt them to pay for those cameras since their safety has to come first. I strongly believe that this could at least reduce the citizens' complaints against the police and also reduce the police use of force against the citizens. 

Commentary #1

I strongly agree with my classmates blog "freedoms press"in his writing "Blog stage 5". My classmate expressed their feeling towards unequal treatment of people separated by either gender or race. Although we are now at a time period where we can safely say that it is much better than before, it is not still equal. Sex discrimination still holds in the U.S, and it is mostly affecting women's whether it is at finding a job or are currently employed. There is no fact of men working harder than women or, women's not being able to complete men's work. My classmate used different reasons and facts to support their arguments.
