According to CNN Library (2013), “George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain in Sanford, Florida, calls 911 to report "a suspicious person "in the neighborhood. He is instructed not to get out of his SUV or approach the person. Zimmerman disregards the instructions.” This is clearly enough evidence to put Zimmerman away for the crime considering he disregarded direct orders. It wasn’t Zimmerman place to pursue Trayvon knowing that is he is not an officer of law or any other part of law enforcement. On the subject of the Trayvon Martin Case, it shows that racism still exist in our country.
In today’s society, police officers have used excessive force that leads to inexcusable assaults, beatings, shootings, or even death. This type of violence is called police brutality. Police brutality remains a major concern for those of the community. The intent of this paper is to show examples of police brutality and how the criminal justice system and law enforcement administrators handled these cases. To help alleviate police brutality, review boards started to appear in the 1960's (Albrecht, Halleck, Lardner, & Milton, 1977).
However, the Second Mile stated that they never knew anything about the incident, although this may not be accurate. Curley and Schultz were charged with failing to tell the police, and falsely telling the grand jury that they were never informed them about the incident. McQueary was a graduate assistant at the time and he displayed more good ethics than the organizational leadership of the school. By Curley and Schultz covering up the incident the abuse could continue because no one ever knew of Sandusky’s extreme unethical behaviors. However, McQueary attempted to do what was right by informing his superiors; but that was not enough to stop the abuse.
Criminals usually plan out and act upon the scenario in a time when they’re not being followed and during the scenario they are not available; Wiggims was nowhere to be heard of or seen, therefore he is a suspect. As the Chief you are authorized to be in control of society, protect it and follow the higher authorization person(s). The Mayor of Springfield, Quimby, told the Police to “take out Burns,” and clearly chief Wiggims is once against suspected because of his authority as a police offer. The little time before and after the shooting, Chief Wiggims told Jimbo Jones to stay away from the statue near the parking lot (where Mr.Burns was shot near the Simpsons car) because he was loitering and during that time it can be safely assumed that Wiggims had committed the crime, got rid of evidence (jimbo Jones) and may have had some cause to leave bloodstains on the Simpsons car. After all the person who was not at the shooting, and was responsible for the case being Wiggims would be a great idea due to the authority(Chief Wiggims), power(Quimby) and the gun that had made the sound when shot.
For example if I were and officer and I was to go beyond a certain point and abuse either a suspect or a criminal and get away with it because my partner believes in the "Blue wall of Silence" and doenst report me. I absolutely do not agree wtih act what so ever. b) Is the infamous “Blue Wall” the result of an “us against them” mentality among police officers? Why or why not? - Yes its like all of the officers have to stick together as a unit to protect the community and some officers just abuse the
Alphonse Gabriel Capone "I got nothing against the honest cop on the beat. You just have them transferred someplace where they can't do you any harm. But don't ever talk to me about the honor of police captains or judges. If they couldn't be bought they wouldn't have the job." – Al Capone By: Chris Gurney Psychology Unit 3 Project Part 1 Alphonse Gabriel Capone, better known as “Al” Capone was born into a prejudiced America.
Regulations to help keep this rule organized is fine, but the problem with these bills are that none of them do anything to reduce the crime rate and svae lives. Criminals will not registar their guns because most likely they are stolen and they have no license do to the fact that they are criminals. Ultimately, the only thing that these bill do is keep the honest people honest. John R. Lott did a short survey of 847 criminals that said that they are more concerned robbing a citizen with who is armed with a gun than running into the police. One felon quoted “ If you scare some innocent body with a gun you might not survive, if you get caught and arrested by a cop in America you are sure to survive”.
Here you have people that are taking punishment within their own hands and nothing could be done because that was allowed. From this, we have the vigilante aspect that people think they can go around and take justice into their hands and have no consequence to them. In terms of Government, they are creating the laws but sometimes just do not seem to work with the policing of America. The relationship with police and government is ongoing and will continue to be. The police go to the state for funding for programs and they get turned away, laws are being created that the police have to enforce even if they do not agree with that the law is.
The gentlemen refused to answer any more questions and walks away after Michael’s last comment. Michael then asked a police officer what his thoughts were. His response was unexpected. He stated “we think the people of this country should be proud of these kids. Not for what they wear, not how their hair is, but for who they are, their domineer.” Michael told the officer he felt that was shocking coming from a cop.
By using criminal investigative analysis, major personality and behavioral characteristics of an offender can be identified. These characteristics presented themselves in Dorner’s manifesto as he described himself in the following way, “Most of you… are saying to yourself that this is completely out of character of the man you knew who always wore a smile wherever he was seen. No one grows up and wants to be a cop killer. It was against everything I've ever was”. Dorner’s mind-state appears to be somewhat stable as he meanders through his manifesto, but the homicides that ensued after proved otherwise.
