Short answer:

There was not point in the officers saying that, there was no need. Yes, because there are causing serious problems and issues and they are hurting people for no need. I think there is no reason for racism now its not like how it used to be and people can and have changed. It plays a big role because people need to hear about whats going on and the truth about people today. It is a good think to have these stories and articles on social media because people hear and listen to things online and so people can be more aware of what's going on in the world around them.
