My Intervention project is about “Police Brutality” and the reason why I chose this topic is mainly because of how I am a Criminal Justice major, and as someone looking to go forward as some type of law enforcement for their career police brutality is definitely something I would like to change in any kind of law enforcement. My message to everyone about police brutality is to show individuals how something like this can cause major problems to the departments, fellow officers, and even the government. In my intervention, I sat down with my family members and showed them a short video of a police officers body camera during a stop, the things that were said and done during this video should of been handled differently, looking at how my family members were watching this video and how they reacted was the same way I reacted when I first research about police brutality. My family members took a blank piece of paper and wrote their thoughts about what they thought and what they saw during this short video, and as that I did not see what they wrote but I will read it for the first time during our class period.
I did not have any inspiration from my artists, but something that inspired me to do more research about this certain topic was my criminal justice course classes that I had attended. Watching body cam footage and doing research about this really showed me how there are so much that we can change in being police officers so that we can have respect from the community and fellow innocent individuals.
Quotes:
Q1 “Due to the mimes, and other creative tactics, traffic fatalities dropped in Bogota by over 50 percent”
R1: This quote helps with my intervention because of how sometimes random people can try to help our community by doing what law enforcement is supposed to do but they do it to keep the community safe.
Q2 “If this kind of space doesn’t exist in your home or workplace, find another location”
R2: I chose this quote because when I first read it I thought about the police department, and what I thought about was how once you go in the department and everything around you or everyone around you is not trying to help for a change I can try to relocate to a different police department.
Q3: “We all have a creative routine”
R3: This quote is true and actually stuck to me because of how I do the same thing everyday from when I wake up. I have a set routine for myself everyday, and that is how I start my day and feel energized to continue it.
Q4: “We all need to be able to have silly thoughts and say stupid things and not feel judged”
R4: I choose this quote because I myself am a silly person and say a lot of dumb things, and that's something that will never change in me even when I am in law enforcement. I see it as if I am a fun and outgoing person and can be silly but also professionally speaking with individuals things can really go smoothly and not de-escalate.
