In the past and the present we have seen what type of power the police have. In the story Kaffir Boy, the police had power over the people and would constantly raid the neighborhood and check if they had their passbook in order. “And the chances of it being in order at all times were nil, for I knew that, as with my father, the authorities would always find something wrong with my pass” (Mark Mathabane 100).

As an African American citizen, I am deeply impacted by the current events. It is another example of how African Americans are treated in a country we built. I believe officers still carry stereotypes society has created among the race. I also believe training is lacking within the Police Department.
