In San Jose there are shootings that lead up to deaths caused by police. Police should think twice before they make any moves; they should be careful since it is a risk for all the lives that are involved in the situation.
Anthony Nunez, a 17 year old high school student, was killed by police in San Jose. He loved to make art and rap. He was a funny, kind, and most importantly a young boy.
According to abc7news.com, On July 5th, 2016, officers went to where Anthony lived and saw him pointing a gun to his head and believed he was suicidal. When Anthony pointed the gun at the officers they shot and killed him.
As many believe, including myself, the police could have handled the situation calmer such as tasing him or letting the family convince him to let go of the gun.

Jacob Dominguez, a 33 year old unarmed man, was killed by police on a ten day pursuit because he was a robbery suspect. According to Nbcbayarea.com on september 18, 2017 undercover cops pulled over a suspected robber Jacob Dominguez in East SJ, they ordered him to put his hands up but he didn't listen and police thought he was reaching for a gun. Jacob was unarmed and was shot and killed.
In my opinion they could've done better by waiting to see if Jacob actually had a gun before they decided to shoot him.
In my neighborhood there has been many shootings. But last year around midnight I was eating cereal, suddenly I heard a car pass by my house very fast and I heard 3 loud shots, immediately I ducked down under the table for cover. The next day I found out my neighbors windows had been shot out and their car windows as well. Luckily no one got hurt.
I felt very scared letting my sister be out there in the open. It's very dangerous and you never know what can happen so you have to be very careful. You can’t be out in the night because that's when it's the most dangerous.
In East San Jose there are many police shootings resulting in many deaths.I believe the police can handle situations better. Police can prevent them by using body cameras or by simply being more careful. Police brutality is a serious problem in the U.S and police need to do more to stop it.
