REDO!!!!!

Sue Lindsay's article "Denver Cop pleads guilty in beating teen" Is a scary reminder that humans are not even near perfect but this does not give Charles Porter a right to attack 16 year old Juan Vasquez. Charles Porter got what he deserved being charged with a first degree assault. This is not something to be overlooked we need to analyze how we are put in danger even by the people you would least expect. It hits me hard to know that someone who is supposed to keep us safe and enforce the law is willing to break it for a situation that could be handled much more maturely. Porter went over to the kids who were drinking and as he approached Juan ran off as any teen in trouble would but where it gets out of hand is that when he caught Juan instead of arresting him he decided to beat him. What matters to me is feeling safe and knowing that I can see a cop as a good guy not someone to be afraid of.
