the outcome of the World in 50 years

In the next 50 years, I will be 65 years old. I will live in New York City after going to cooking school. I will get a good job and stay there for at least 5 years. After, I will return to D.C. to start a boxing career. But when I come back to D.C. in 50 years, there may not be a D.C. to come back to because of police brutality against the people of Washington. I think police behave in that manner because there is not a big enough punishment for them. One to three months is not enough time. Sometimes, they aren’t punished at all. If the city continues to increase in police brutality there might be a war between the police and the citizens of Washington. There will be an increase in riots, police deaths, shootings. Everyone will fight each other. Basically, there will be no order. When I think about the possibilities, it makes me sick to my stomach. We have one of the highest crimes rates in the country and the police are not helping to stop the problem. If the police can’t do their job, who will?
How do I think we can change it? People need to learn to ask question first, not shoot and then ask questions later when it’s too late. The city should also increase the punishment for police brutality in the District of Columbia. Police need to be held to a higher standard. 10 to 15 years ought to make them think about police brutality a little more seriously.
