African American mug shots for target practice
Hello dear readers!
We’ve read an article that
includes racial discrimination and the police target practice.
The article is about the police
department in Miami, who has been caught using African American mug shots for
target practice. National guard Sgt. Valerie Deant showed up at the department,
and among the pictures, she discovered her own brother being used as a target.
North Miami
Police Chief J. Scott Dennis denies any racial profiling, but concedes that his
apartment ‘’could have used better judgement’’.
The article
is to inform people about the problem with racial discrimination in the US and
the people who think it’s interesting to read about the racism in a modern
western country like the US.
This is a
picture of the mug shots
Our opinion
is that it couldn’t have happened with white mug shots, and that the Miami police
department only claims that they use all colors of people as mug shots to
protect themselves.

Grammar:
SvarSlet1) “National guard Sgt. Valerie Deant showed up at the department and, among the pictures, she discovered her own brother being used as a target”. - The comma should be after "and" because “among the pictures” is an interposed sentence.
2) “…but concedes that his apartment ‘’could have used better judgement’’. – You wrote apartment instead of department.
Elaborate question:
What happened with the police officers who shot at the mug shots?
This episode haven't had any consequences for any of the police officers who was involved.
