So many individuals deserve changes but they hardly put in the effort to bring abut such demands. Many fantasize of the perfect world, a world of equal opportunities, facilities and rights for all, but every so often we are again reminded of the harsh reality of today's non-perfect world - a world that denies such equal treatment, a world of hate and racism along with constant abuse on the minority communities. . It's respectable to say that our social status has improved since the days of slavery. Today, our communities strive and hunger for more respect. We desire our rights and opportunities. This community demands equal treatment, job opportunities and most of all we demand respect. In our hearts we strive to be understood. We cry out to be heard and pray that our fantasies come true. The United State's society is one that is considered to be highly respected. A society which is considered to be a role model to the rest of the world. We just can't afford to have such incidents take place, such as the one that took place on August 9th at 4 am after an outing at Brooklyn's Club Rendezvous. A young black male was violated by the police. He was later beaten and humiliated in the precinct by being stripped of his clothes and later to have a stick forced up is rectum by officers. Such incidents and crimes are simply not tolerated by any community. This crime is a humiliation to our society, a humiliation to our world. These officers, the officers we pay to keep us safe, the ones we are supposed to feel secure around, are now the ones who we encounter and ask "Is this going to happen to me?" These crimes, though many go on unreported, are the ones we should take action against. It is embarrassing to the black community, as well as the white. These officers hold the title "New York's Finest". Why don't they live up to the title? We can't afford to have "New York's Finest" committing the worst crimes. It's simply unacceptable, and many others would agree. We just can't tolerate it.

Get them on technicalities and exercise your rights. Nobody cares about you because they think you won't educate yourself and go through their proper channels. Make them stop the abuse. Don't be sheeple, be people.
