Enrique's Journey

Money corrupts people even the cops. In Enrique's Journey on his way to find his mom in America he gets stopped by cops. They end up putting a gun to his face and robbing him in Mexico. He then sees them again and tries getting justice but the same thing happens. "'Get over here,' the buzz-cut officer barked, waving a pistol. One of the migrants bolted. Enrique obeyed, afraid of what might happen if he tried to run. The officers put the migrants in the back of their truck. They demanded 100 pesos to let them go. Enrique was relieved that one of the fellow migrants had the money and handed it over."(pg:58) The quote proves that money will make people do anything just to try and have a good life. These cops should be removed form the police force, the reason is that they are putting fear in the people they are suppose to protect. How are these kids and people suppose to walk the streets at night when they are afraid of their own police force. These two men are abusing their power and there is more police men that are like this. I feel that there should be an upraises to take these cops down in any means possible. If there was police in my town that acted in this manner i would do the same. There really needs to be an up keep on police activity in poverty nieghbor hoods  because there are more places even in are country that are like this.
