Instruction
Chapter 16 of our textbook speaks about "community policing" and public support to effectively combat terrorism. This discussion is not about the community policing program, but more broadly about the role of police in the communities they serve.

Reflect on how critical not just public support, but public action in working with law enforcement to keep their communities safe.
Write a short essay with your your observations (using the videos and text) as to:

2) concepts of "ethics" and why it matters, and
3) "why words matter."
