The police do not like using force to apprehend a suspect; the police are not racial profiling the suspects. The
When the media sensationalize cases about police officers abusing their powers, the public’s immediate response is to demand restrictions on them. While the abuse of discretion exists, allowing police officers to exercise discretion without controls is vital due to the unpredictable and multifaceted nature of crime.

Some attorneys deny the liberty or even the bail of some defendants, when it is reasonable, just because they want to. Certainly this leads to the ideal of abuse of power. Also, many attorneys receive “compensations, benefits, and pay-offs” in order to get someone off-the-hook or to speed up the case. Equally, police officers abuse
force against suspects without reason to do so.
