Controlling Police Brutality The police have served an integral part in society as out protectors. Throughout the years, however, scholars as well as we citizens have begun to question the use of force, racism and internal corruption as well as other forms of misconduct by our officers of the law. The excessive use of force by police officers persists because of overwhelming barriers to their accountability. For instance, when police do get in trouble, it is normally a slap on the wrist, a lecture or loss of a vacation day as it stated in the article “Good Cop Bad Cop.” This fact makes it possible for officers who commit these violations to escape punishment and then often repeat their offenses. Every report of abuse is often met with denial or explanation of why the abuse was necessary instead of taking any real action like a suspension or removal of their badge in most cases.
This policy was the exact opposite of his license obligations that stated he was to report any crimes and felonies he saw. The policy forced David to into a moral dilemma where he had to choose whether to abide by Blue Mountain’s rules or to obey the police unit’s rules. As an employee David had a moral obligation to his company as well as to the other stakeholders. David`s had a responsibility to be loyal to his company as well as to keep the other stakeholders safe. In this situation the policy was unethical because it risked the safety of all other stakeholders and enabled criminal
I believe this is not only true for the women’s stories in this book, but true for all women. It is very hard for to pick one particular story within this book that touched me the most, they were all powerful and had such interesting details. However in chapter two “Prohibition and Prostitution” they speak about how people get away with enslaving and trafficking village girls. The idea is to crush modern slavery, but for political reasons this does not always happen. It is known that crackdowns do exist and with the right help, training and rehabilitations these girls and women can feel they have purpose and worth.
Since Janet couldn’t make it to meetings they gave her what was “left over” and didn’t even keep her in mind. Janet was a hard worker and wanted to contribute to the group, but since she had been pre classified by her group she couldn’t fit in the way she wanted to. Life was basically a struggle for Janet and being in a group that did not consider her struggle made her feel more alone than ever. She finally snapped over the cafeteria incident. She stopped to get something to eat and saw her whole group meeting without her, she felt extremely unappreciated and knew the group members didn’t respect her contributions.
Women were viewed as men’s property so they had to do whatever the husband wanted them to do. Also they did the entire domestic work and look after the children. These views affected their lives as they couldn’t do many things like sue their husband for adultery, for beating them and if they tried to run away they’d be captured by the police and bought back to the husband. The women had to look after children and the domestic work which people then thought that this was all they were good for so they didn’t give them a good education or a well paying job. Finally the men didn’t think much of women for doing things that they could.
Extreme measures are usually taken when people see no other exits or when the measures themselves are not looked at as extreme; prostitution being the measure in this case. In the worst situations, these extreme measures are looked at as the norm, and sadly in some cases, women feel that they have no other way around it. Prostitution in the Red Light District of Calcutta is far too common because the women do not see any other routes possible. It is seen as casual for one to sell their body for a living. Women, many of whom are mothers, knowingly and willingly subject themselves to prostitution in front of the children of the city.
Ishmael Leseur turned the other cheek to being bullied by Barry Bagsley. He did this because he didn’t want to bring attention to himself or give Barry Bagsley anything to pick on him with. Ishmael also turned the other cheek during the awards night because he didn’t want to ruin the night for everyone and bring himself down to Barry Bagsley’s level. People need to feel good about themselves and not let the bullies win. After all bullies usually only pick on people they know they can make feel bad to make themselves feel good.
In early colonial times, the women of America lived in an era of gender inequality. They had very limited freedom; from not being able to vote, sue, testify in court, to not being able to be granted legal custody after a divorce, and so forth. Women were the targets of sexual discrimination. Women were highly disregarded in occupations, as well as in education. They weren’t allowed to enter many professions, from law to medical; or study in the prestigious schools of the males.
It sounds confusing but when people see a man with a gun, no matter what side of the law he is on, they will get intimidated and possibly fear him. Taking away this gun will give that man less power, but he will also gain the people’s respect. For a society with police and people to coexist peacefully without conflict, weapons should not be involved. This way, less crime will occur and police will be respected more. A real life example of this perfect world is England today.
1. I would rate her effectiveness at about a six only because she could not control her snapping attitude at people which was very unprofessional as a supervisor. Jennifer aka Kelly’s effectiveness to the company started out rough, because she wasn’t properly trained to the job she only got what they call a crash course on how to run her area or department. Which is not good for the company because she only had minimum experience in actually supervising people. Being the help to others is nothing like doing the job yourself because at the end of the day everything that goes wrong or right falls on you and not your crew.
