Let's not be so hot-headed...

I have been an avid reader of one of my fellow JMS1 student’s blog and have found it engaging and well thought out.
However I now feel I might need to rethink my interest in the blog after reading the opinion of an author’s experience with a police man.

Firstly to acknowledge and apologize for the “over-emotional and heated writing” and also to realize “that the above is inductive, generalized, simply based on one personal experience” doesn’t really justify the piece in any way. A murderer telling his soon to be victim that “I know this is wrong” and then apologizing afterwards doesn’t make what was done justified in any way. It is said that the event showed her that our country is not near the democratic, peaceful society we all believe it to be. Firstly it is the kind of generalizations this author makes, and the hot-headed manner in which she goes about making them, that will hold back our country from making the advances it needs. Secondly to say that we have not come far in the last decade is ignorant of all the positive advances that have most definitely occurred. The opinion might have some kind of substance to it, in that yes the policeman did seem to mistreat the author; however this probably needed to be more thought out and structured before hastily throwing it onto the blog for all to see!
