In recent days, police officials have been severely criticized for human rights violations. And, there is also no denial that police officers came under a huge round of criticism from the public and various human rights group. Sean Whent, police chief of Oakland, said that crime rates remain the same like before.

Mr. Comey also said that many police officers stay inside the car to question the suspicious people due to the fear of being sensationalized by the public. It has to be noted the social media and video sharing websites do play a major role in sensationalizing the issue. In order to find whether Comey’s statement is right or not, one should conduct a serious survey.
