Ideology in My Controversy

• Local law enforcements and civilians are involved with my controversy. More specifically, police and the black minorities are the main groups involved in my research topic. 
• The major speakers involved are just civilians speaking out against police brutality, however other individuals believe police officers are not using excessive force against civilians. Some of the writers include Sherrilyn Ifill, Nigel Roberts, John Wihbey and Leighton Walter Kille.
• The law enforcement officers have governmental and political power, the victims have some political power and rights as citizens of the United States.
• The police officers value their jobs, lives, reputations, and families because they are providing for them. The civilians also value their lives and are willing to sacrifice a lot in order to save themselves and their families. 
• I have found that several cops in my sources believe they have power over civilians because they have the government to protect them. Civilians believe they are being treated unfairly against police officers because they use unnecessary force against them. 
• Others in my research believe that both police officers and civilians hold the same amount of power against one another. I consider this an acknowledged common ground between the groups. 
• Since several people believe they are being treated as unequal to law enforcement, there is also a form of unacknowledged common ground. 
• Several incidents have been taken to court where the officer(s) have been found guilty or innocent. Other incidents have been protested by the minority groups where these groups take matters into their own hands and have caused even more harm to other civilians and police officers.
