Reflection
Honestly speaking I tried to look for something positive stories of news about our
police. But it also came into I need to look for the negative things that happened before
so that it can give me a lesson and also so that I can learn from it to not repeat that
mistake again.
To start off since we are studying about the ethical standard, I want to answer the
question, is it an ethical act? Well, we all know that it is not ethical, one of the meaning
of ethics is that it is the science of morality of human acts. And I remember what my
professor in this subject told us, that not every act that a human being does is not
distinctively human act. Sadly, it’s true specially in this case. I also remember that in the
organization of PNP they have a code of conduct and one of the reasons why they have
it because they want to “facilitate the renewal of commitment of it’s member and to
behave according to the tenets expected of a true law enforcement officer”. It’s really
sad that there are still law enforcers doesn’t behave as one. Still so many officers are
doing immoral acts that also causes harm to other humans. I am hoping that other
officers must always choose to be patient and understanding when dealing such
situation. Because they are expected to serve and protect the community from possible
harm and yet sometimes, they are the one who cause the fear to the community instead
of trust. I hope that this will not happen again in the future and I also believe that not all
law enforcers are like that, there are still officers who live according to what is moral and
right. Hopefully the community can see that.
