Latter of Inference, in class, 244 wordsf

Ladder of Inference;
In class
244 words.
When I came to New York, my uncle who sponsored us and a man renting a room from him got into a fight. The person trashed the house while my uncle was at work. The tenant was later arrested and upon being released, he came to the house with couple of cops. He told them that he owned everything in his room and he was there to collect.

My uncle jumped in and said some of the furniture was his. They argued back and forth my uncle saying, the staff will remain here, go and prove you ownership. The other guy and the cops were saying, we will take and you come after us. After an intense argument, my uncle blocking the door, the cops manhandled him bad. Thy kneed him, put the handcuffs to the point they damaged the nerves in his hands. I was watching all this and at some point entertained pulling the police officer’s pistol to use it for defending my uncle.
Now every time I hear a police brutality I add to my list of why I do not want be involved with the cups. I know about cases in New York, California, Minneapolis and many other places. Obviously, there are more good things being done by police in every town, and I do hear some, but for some reason filter them out. The bad ones stick with me, not exactly the way it should be.

Wow. I can only imagine the depth that this incident has touched in you. But it shows the strength and poise you have and the desire you share to help others.

Thank you for sharing with us.

It certainly affected me and I strive to over come one incident dominating my view of police officers.
