Dear Editor,

One of my good friends was arrested the night of April 31 by on campus police. He was cooperative when taken into custody and did as he was told. All in all he did his "job" as detainee. The arresting officer was not so courteous. My friend was detained, held, and questioned for two and a half hours before being read his Miranda Rights. The police also used profanity toward him on more than one occasion during the incident. He took the time to schedule a meeting with the chief of campus police to file a complaint on the following Monday. When he arrived, on time, he was told the chief was"too busy" to attend the previously scheduled meeting.

College is where many students have their first interaction and get their first impression of police. In order to build a bond of trust and respect

Respectfully submitted,
Graham Sowa
