Corruption in the Police Force

There is a existing problem in Memphis that not only happens in Memphis, but in many cities in America. Police are becoming the villain rather than the hero. When giving authority police become hungry with power, and use it in a negative rather than help citizens which is the job description. They feel as if they are better or above the people they are suppose to be protecting. They seem to forget the main purpose of why they chose their job or what the initial purpose of the job is. Their job is to protect and serve the city of Memphis and try to make it a safe and a better place for citizens to live. Police officers are suppose to patrol areas of the city, and neighborhoods at different times of the hour making sure there is no violence or crimes occurring. Although there are some police officers that are committed to their job and actually protect citizens, some have no intention in making sure no violence ever occurs. It has been many cases where the police were suspected to have harm or even kill the suspect for no reason at all. For example the ongoing case about Chavez Carter whom supposedly committed suicide handcuffed in the back of a police car. Citizens, political leaders, and of course his family believe it was a murder committed by the police that took Chavez Carter into custody. The police and the police department denies any involvement in the murder and insist the young man killed himself. The case is a perfect example of police brutality. The police has yet to be prosecuted  or blame for the tragic murder. In any case where the police has been suspected to have been the prime suspect for brutality, murder, or even simple wrongful arrest the people barely hear about the police being charged or even suspended. Police seem to find an enjoyment in harassing citizens and giving them problems. This has been an ongoing argument for many years and the problem still has not been fixed and barely address.
