They confided in one another after the shooting, about the things Kenny was joking about. Throughout the story Kenny is randomly releasing fire on things he ‘doesn’t like’. First the sign, then the barn, then the old man’s dog. At that point Tub was so irritated by his constant shots and the mouth and shot of the gun that he decided he had no choice but to shoot him. To show him he can’t keep being a bully.
Before Jim departs, he puts his hand on Olaf’s neck; Olaf thinks Jim will snap off his head any moment now. Then Jim returns a second time; “If this black beast came within so much as three feet of him, he would snatch his gun out of the drawer and shoot him dead, so help him God” (Wright 322). Jim comes back to give Olaf a present of six white shirts. Olaf thinks when Jim puts his hands around his neck he is trying to kill him. Jim laughs at what Olaf says; Jim was only measuring Olaf up for the right size of shirt.
Carolyn Jones tells us in her critical insight of To Kill a Mockingbird that “Atticus allows himself to be the target of an irrational force and its violence as he acts to protect innocent people” (147). The reader sees this protection of the innocent in three key scenes: shooting Tim Johnson, defending Tom Robinson, and an altercation with Bob Ewell. First, in chapter ten, the reader sees Tim Johnson, a rabid dog, heading straight for the neighborhood in which Atticus lives. Though he has not shot a gun in many years, Atticus steps up and shoots the rabid dog in order to protect the innocent people in the neighborhood. Next, the reader sees Atticus begin to defend Tom Robinson against the Ewells’ rape accusations.
Another article was in February 1999; Roy Lynn was attacked by a police dog. Weeaks had surrendered to police and was lying face down on the ground and then the police released the dog and ordered it to attack him. The dog bit him in the groin and nearly severed his penis. Given the small number of cases we could conclude that excessive force is rare in police-citizen contacts and is often accompanied by some possible provocative behavior. The use of excessive work on a civilian by a police is a criminal offense and should not be done.
This is why as African Americans, we hate to see each other make it because; it creates a false sense of superiority. For example with education I’m better then you or in other situations. In Battle Royal our narrator wanted to give his speech to a number of important white business man over his community to review how good his speech was. The catch was for him to give his speech he would have to win the battle royal, a blind fight among his friends. Throughout the fight we find our narrator friend getting knocked around until he receives a blow that cause his blindfold to come off then he fights with strategy.
The first story was about a man named Alexander Gray, he live in Washington D.C.. Gray's first assault was when four men jumped him and beat him with a tire iron and a shovel, while the beating was occuring the men yelled anti-gay epithets. The secong assault on Gray was when a police officer shot Alex in the chest, killing him. Reverend Stephen Young stood over Gray's body and said "I don't agree with the gay lifestyle It's a practice. I have to help you get out of that practice...I hear people called Alex a faggot...I don't like that lifestyle." That was the third assault.
Arthur Ravel who was 16 years old at the time, witnesses this carnage only because the two men assigned to accompany him to his dad’s store were shot by the town folk. Villa’s men proceeded with such methodical precision that it was clear they had scouted the city before the raid. When the American forces returned fire they inflicted heavy casualties on the bandits one of them being Pablo Lopez, the author of Santa Isabel massacre; who was bounded on both
He makes friends with George quite quickly and they talk about Lennie in a pitiful but admiring way (pitiful about his lack in intelligence but they admire him for his physical strength). Carlson abuses his power of having a gun by running for it every time he has an excuse to use it. When the men mention the health of Candy’s dog and suggests shooting it to put it out of its misery Carlson is the one who gets his gun and shoots the dog. When Lennie is suspected of killing Curley’s wife, Carlson runs for his gun but George has already got to Carlson’s gun and stolen it. I think Carlson is very abusive of his power in how he does this.
The only reason that anyone had come to the scene was because someone heard a dog going crazy in the car and then the bodies were found and the cops were called. It is believed that the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre resulted from a plan devised by members of Capone gang to eliminate George “Bugs” Moran due to the rivalry between the two
An example of one is during one a Capone’s shootouts when bullets hit a five-year-old boy in the knee and a girl in the arm. In addition to this a shard of glass ricocheted into the girl’s eye. Another public incident caused by gangs was the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. The problem started when Capone set up his enemy Bugg Moran and told him to pick up alcohol at a warehouse. As soon as Moran’s men came inside to pick up the alcohol, Al’s men, dressed as police arrested them.
