Topic Proposal
Topic: Looking at police brutality and trying to see why this happens in Memphis so often.
Background: Many families have lost loved one due to police brutality in Memphis and so often people
think it’s the citizen that is in the wrong but often times it’s just the office being afraid of not being able
to return home, so they overuse their authority that they have as a officer.
Argument: I will argue that police brutality should be STOPPED and HOW it can be stopped in city of
Memphis.
Reason Behind the Argument: This can help save many lives in the future. We lose so many residents in
Memphis daily due to police brutality. Also, if a police officer reads this it can possibly calm them down
or better understand the situation when they are serving the streets of Memphis.
What’s the issue: Police officers are scared so they act so fast with a gun that and don’t think about the
others’ lives and the idea that they have a family just like them. Also, that their main goal is to return
home safe just like the officers.

How will I research this: I will research this by trying to see why police act so fast with their weapons? I
can also dive into the idea of does the area in which the police are serving make them more scared and
eager to act with their guns. Also, do the officers that that serve Memphis work in fear not just in the
area but their job. The goals are to see why police brutality happens in Memphis.
What problems do I foresee: Finding information where an officer will open about the topic? Officers
feeling being stuck in the idea that police brutality can’t be stopped.
Now, put it all together as a topic proposal!
Topic Proposal
Why is police brutality happening so often and how can this be changed in the streets of Memphis?
Police brutality is so common now days that it has become the new normal when it comes to crime that
happens on the streets of Memphis. Also, try to figure out why Memphis police are so scared to serve
their city and result in hurting the citizens here.I will argue that police brutality needs to be stopped. In
this paper I will also argue how we can stop police brutality. The problem is Memphis police officers are
so scared of the people that are on the street that they react with guns and weapons that cause family
members to lose their lives. I will also argue that every life is important and not everyone is going to
harm the officers. While working I will research why police officers are so scared, why is police brutality
so common today, and how can we save the lives of our citizens in our city when facing interactions with
a officer. I think the biggest problem I might face is getting officers to open up to why they are so afraid
