Just Didn't Work

One part of my research paper that I was not able to include is the personal accounts from people who have been stopped and frisked; also cops personal thoughts on stop and frisk.  These two things will not work for my paper because I was trying to steer away from seeming as I am complaining.  My purpose in writing this paper is to try to examine all facts only to be able to get the reader to really access if stop and frisk and effective or necessary.  Using personal accounts is very bias and one sided because it is a given someone who was stop and frisked doesn’t approve of it.  And on the other hand, cops were not willing to give accounts on stop and frisk and of course are going to give me the politically correct answer because they are not going to speak out about something that makes them look bad.  Another research that I included in an earlier post that I did not use is an article I had found about a cop who was being sued by his prescient for speaking out against mandatory citation numbers each cop has to reach.  The reason why I decided to opt that article out of my paper is again because that does not work towards my argument or proving that stop and frisk is ineffective.  That is because at the end of the day a crime is a crime small or large.  If they are giving out petty citations that they would not give out on the usual just to reach their mandatory amount, for example littering, at the end of the day it is still justifiable.  For that reason I decided to opt out these three elements from my research paper to make it more concise and more factual.
