That Camera Won T Save You Analysis

The article “That Camera Won't Save You! The Spectacular Consumption of Police Violence” By Armond R. Towns talks about how the police system is broken and even if you record a cop doing wrong then it probably won't help you out because police “always” do the right thing. It states that even if you have evidence of a police doing the wrong thing then the police will most likely still be able to work at his job and have no punishment.

The first word I chose was the word media. I chose this word because it was used 16 times throughout this article and it is a word commonly used in today's society. Media usually means broadcasting or publishing something on the internet. In the article he says that cameras won't save you and recently the media has been able to see all the footage captured on camera of cops doing wrong. The media has saw many African Americans getting harassed by the cops but the cops end up getting let go because the judge sees nothing wrong with their actions. Not every cop gets let loose but for the majority of them they do. Towns also states how media can become a bad influence in certain situations. In the article he states that people on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and youtube people made mems out of Eric Garners death which means people took it as a joke.
