From Nobody to Somebody

When looking at all of the questions that where asked in the blog post this week, I think there is nothing more relevant that could answer all of these questions than the very topic of this course, Public Discourse. All of these questions need to be talked about. They need to be brought to the attention of our world, our society, and especially our government and government officials. These questions need to be brought into the public sphere and for more than just the month of news coverage within the media when a horrible tragic death occurs like those in Flint and Ferguson. Because, lets be real these issues are real, and they are happening everyday whether a life is lost, or a person gets pulled over on the side of the rode because of their skin color. When looking at specific cases that hills brings attention to in his book, there seems to be a lack of accountability, and I think this is huge problem. We need to make sure we as citizens are holding police officers accountable. We need to make sure that they are being held accountable to their main duty, to serve and protect. In times like these when they are not being held accountable to their main duty we need to see that they are, because this is their duty no matter the community and no matter then skin color.
