More about LAPD

Having officers from the Los Altos Police Department come in and talk to us was probably one of the best visitors to have. As we all know in Global, we hear all these stories about police abuse and how bad cops are. Not only that, but in our social media and just talk among our friends, we just become surrounded by this stigma that police are corrupt as well as the worst people ever in the world. I'm certainly not saying that there aren't cops in the world that fit that picture, but it's important for us to know that most of the cops in the United States are here to protect us and keep us safe. Getting to know these guys and where they come from really just gives the police a better rep. I really think that's the key for us to get a better sense of what the Police stand for. Knowing that these men and women are just like us, have the same interest, and people we can connect with on a level the same as you and I would connect. The police shouldn't be feared, we should be weary of them, but not to the point where their power is so strong that the only thing we can do is fear them.
