In Grits for Breakfast, a blog entry titled “Police officer "victim" shoots man standing at distance with hands at his side” talks about a horrific event that occurred on October 14^th 2013. To sum it up, a Dallas police officer shot a mentally ill man. The police officer shot him on a Monday afternoon outside of his home for no reason. According to a police report, Officer Cardan Spencer claimed that the reason why he opened fire was because Bobby Gerald Bennett walked toward him and his partner with a “knife raised in an aggressive manner.” Usually in a police report, the Officer’s word will be taken over any witnesses. But luckily there is actual video proof from a surveillance camera that they provided in this blog entry. In the video, it clearly shows that the police report was completely false and written before Officer Carden and his partner, were aware that the video was leaked. The author makes an argument that body cams on police officers would be a great idea, especially in this situation. I agree with him/her because if this became a law in the future, then there would be no way police can lie about their own actions if counted against them. The author states that “the episode also demonstrates the need for specialized police units to handle calls dealing with the mentally ill.” The author makes this statement using clear logic. The video has all the evidence needed, and that police officer obviously did not know how to deal with the mentally ill. I agree with every statement that the author is making. “it’s strikingly absurd that the arrest warrant affidavit lists Officer Spencer as the “victim” That’s certainly not how it looked from a camera’s-eye view.” The author’s information came from WFAA-TV (Channel 8) so the audience knows his/her credibility is legit. Speaking of the audience, the author is targeting all police as a warning. His/her audience is also the government, to show them that body cams are much needed to help prevent tragedies like this from ever happening again.
