Essay # 6

               Since I remember people can see how a person in authority abused his or her power. This situation happens in all countries and it is hard to find a solution to end this. We can see a lot of different power as a political leader or police man. This kind of person thinks that they can do whatever they want and that nobody can say anything to them. They feel that with their power they have the control in their hands.
               In front of my grandmother’s house there is a police station. One late night, we heard too much noise in this police station this called our attention and we went out to see what was happening. We saw some neighbor s, they was having a discussion with some police. We could hear that the discussion was because one of my neighbors had a party in his house and the police went to his house and told them that they must turn off the music and finish the party. It usually never happens in my country because parties are permitted. However the situation got crazier, the major arrived and he seemed angry, he began to discuss too. Suddenly he took out a pole and began to hit my neighbors without any reason, some police began to do the same and others tried to control the problem. The major use his power said that all police had to do the same or they went to have trouble with him. We began to scream my cousin was crying because it was horrible, finally the major stopped to hit them and gave the other to stop. I remember that my aunt said to him, “you have to pay for what you do” and he ironical smiled to her. The major just hit them without any reason.  The neighbors tried to do something and make him in problem with the law, but were impossible. He gave his arguments and the most horrible thing was that the others police supported all his lies. He used his power and still is a major.
                  It sad how people with power can do many horrible things and nobody punishes them. There are many kind of power abused and it appears that never is going to come to the end. This kind of situation left me with the frustration to see how authority can commit evil act without remorse.
