I believe this first because when something negative is said in an article or news report the author does not sought out the officer who did the negative action they just simply say the name of the police force. I believe this secondly because police and political corruption feed off each other, which is a known opinion by most (http://www.coha.org,2004). The third reason I believe the negative actions seem to out weight the positive actions in most situations. I believe that when something negative is said in an article or in a news report the author or news caster does not seek out the officer who did the negative action they simply say the name of the force. Though when an officer does something positive they give that person recognition and that’s the end of it and the public never hears about it again.
I feel some crimes that have taken place in this country could have been stopped or lessened to a degree with a concealed firearm. The government can not ensure the 100 percent safety and wellbeing of all its citizens. For example the school shootings and workplace instances etc that happened in this country. But if there were more responsible law abiding people that had a concealed weapon on them some of these tragedies could have been avoided or at least minimized the damage that those criminals caused saving the lives of others is always a good thing. Criminals are not known for following the rules so all law abiding citizens have the right to defend themselves by any means needed.
Unit 6 Assignment: COP v. POP Directions: There is no specific “right” or “wrong” answer for each scenario; rather, you will be assessed based on whether your reasoning reflects an accurate understanding of your selected policing style(s). | Check which approach(s) would be most useful for addressing the issue. **You can select one or both. | Provide your rationale—why would your selected policing style(s) be expected to alleviate the issue at hand? | Ever since police killed an unarmed robbery suspect, even though the shooting was ultimately justified, there have been tensions between officers and area residents.
Gardner’s ideas are too drastic and I believe he didn’t have enough support in his argument that his plans would actually decrease the murders in gang violence. To say that his thoughts on drugs are the missing piece to gang-violence; I agree with him one-hundred percent. Yet, to pinpoint on drugs as the only reason viciousness and violence happens in gangs, is almost too good to be true. Dan may as well fly off to Never-Never land, because those dreams aren’t ever coming true. First off, I would like to thank Gardner for his enlightening point of view, of how gang violence is heavily influenced by the whole drug trade and the black market that associates itself with it.
It should not matter if I left my keys in the car, or if the police left their keys in a bait car, if stolen it is wrong. Just because the police set up a easy steal for you, it should not make a different. A thief is a thief any way you look at it. I do not support the use of tasers at schools. Due the age of students.
The victory of the Union (Northern States) over the Confederate (Southern States) freed the Negroid’s from slavery, and gave them the right to vote, and own property. Although African Americans now had their liberty, they weren’t free from segregation, violence and prejudices. “We wear the Mask” is written from this experience, and regrettable it is still to a small degree part of the American fabric today. Being African American in the late 20th century wasn’t a bed of roses. They were the minority and were not treated with respect as a whole from its community.
It's also wrong. While young people must be held accountable for serious crimes, the juvenile justice system exists for precisely that purpose. Funneling more youth into the adult system does no good and much harm. Juveniles are not adults, and saying so doesn't make it so. Besides, we don't really mean it: When we try them in criminal court, we do not deem them adults for other purposes, such as voting and drinking.
This book gives valuable insight into the civil rights movement and the summer of 1963, it gives an honest account of what happened during this time in Alabama and is a valuable educational tool for all ages. It brings about understanding in a way that does not specifically place blame, but instead looks for solutions. Chapter One summary The Negro Revolution – Why 1963? The country is amazed that the black people are rising up against discrimination; Black people had been seen as quiet people who were willing to put their heads down and take whatever was handed to them. Things were changing and no one knew how devastating the consequences would be.
According to Bowles, 2012, slavery began the civil war which led to further violence which in turn led to segregation. But just because this was the end of slavery, does not mean that the military leaders nor politicians can change the ingrained cultural beliefs of a people. The country was split between the North and the South; Northern white and in the Southern Blacks. African-Americans such as Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, and even more recent Barrack Obama have made significant steps to improve and even stop segregation. According to Bowles, 2011, American History 1865 to present End of Isolation, The Black Codes codified some of these feelings into law when in 1865 southern state governments created legislation that restricted and controlled the lives of the ex-slaves.
For instance, you called the police because your husband just assaulted you. This example was used because the mindset that most couples have is that the police should never be called in order to address a domestic violence situation; thus, the victim of this type of violence suffers on a consistent basis. Law-enforcement involvement with minorities is rarely voluntary. Most minorities only call the police as a last resort; therefore, when the police are called the situation is usually out of control. The main reason presented for minority citizens not calling for police assistance is the belief that everyone involved in the situation will be arrested.
