Wilson pulled his car up and told Brown and his friend to get out of the street. Then, Michael Brown refused and started cussing at the cop. What happened after that remains a mystery, as the stories range from Brown punching Darren Wilson first to Wilson opening fire. However, the fact remains that if Brown hadn’t been jaywalking, and if he would have listened to Darren Wilson, there’d be no reason for Wilson to use deadly force. After Brown started cussing at Darren Wilson, Wilson said that Brown started beating him up, and eventually reached inside the SUV for his gun.
For the vast majority of these individuals, there will be no bail and dream teams to defend them. Being poor can be a defining issue in whether these people will receive the same treatment as their white or rich counterparts. Gender: In viewing many arrests in my lifetime, there seemed to be an overwhelming silent principle to arrest the ‘man’ rather than the women in abuse cases. Females are believed to not be the aggressor in the relationship, which simply isn’t the case in many instances. A spokesman for the SAVE foundation, Carl Starling, states, “Predominant aggressor laws pressure police officers to arrest the man regardless of who called the police or what person instigated the abuse," according to SAVE spokesman Carl Starling.
Again no defense. Anthony can then sue Dave Bing for negligence because he owes Anthony a strict liability when it comes to his dog. His dog has a history of biting people and so Shaw has to take all possible actions to prevent the dog from doing it again. Bing would have no defense because he has a strict liability. Anthony could then sue Washington for hitting him with her car.
They do things and we can’t It’s just like living in jail” (20). Bigger and his friends know that policemen never search carefully for blacks that commit crimes against other blacks, yet they terrorize and publicly shame blacks that
Rice's contract was terminated by the Ravens on September 8, 2014 following the release of an additional video of the incident. Rice was unquestionably persecuted for the assault against his then fiancé, now wife. Rice’s actions and the rising video showing the incident, resulted him to lose his job not only to being a running back for the Baltimore Ravens, but the whole league itself. No other team in the NFL wants to sign Rice to their team because of his assault which has a left a permanent bad look on his career. Society’s response to the persecution was very normal to any case that deals with a well known person or even a person who isn't well known, that has been assaulted with violence.
THE GEORGE ZIMMERMAN TRAIL ''improving Organizational Performance"" BCOM/275 15/2013 CHRISTINA BEHLING THE GEORGE ZIMMERMAN TRAIL My article is from the Los Angeles Times and the topic is very controversial because there was a killing of a child and the only statements were from Zimmerman who was accused of second degree murder. Within the article it states that George Zimmerman acted in self-defense, in response to the attack of Trayvon martin.After spotting the teen walking in his neighborhood, wearing a hoodie on a dark and rainy night. Zimmerman followed the teen and then called 911 to give a description of martin to authorities and continued to follow Trayvon even after being to not to do so by the 911 operator.

Simpson was accused of the double murder of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman. O.J was subsequently acquitted of the crimes and walked off a free man. O.J’s attorney, Johnnie Cochran conducted a well-executed plan of defense against the allegations made. There was a strong lack of consistency and there were major flaws in the prosecution case. The LAPD violated the 4th Amendment when they searched O.J’s house without a search warrant.
But what most of you probably don’t know, is that this cop got away with murder, the shooting of john Williams was declared unjustified, and a normal citizen with this charge would do anywhere from 25 years to life in prison. Ian berk was charged with being negligent and got no reasonable punishment from the law, besides a short term suspension from duty. Washington state law makes it extremely difficult to press charges against any police officers around the state, and around the country it is nearly impossible for a police officer to get charged with a crime of injustices. So how will we ever catch the cops doing wrong if we can’t even charge them? Police officers around the country know this is the case, they know they can abuse their power and get away with it.
He’s coming this way” (93). The deeper meaning of this quotation symbolizes that prejudice is on its way, but the citizens of Maycomb are oblivious to it. The reason that prejudice is on its way is because of the trial; the jury convicted Tom Robinson of raping Mayella Ewell, even though there was not even enough evidence for the case to go on trial, and Atticus proved that Mayella could not have been hurt by Mr. Robinson. This is portrayed through the dog because he is making his way towards them; slowly but is still very dangerous. The quote also shows that the citizens are oblivious to prejudice because no one in town notices that there is a mad dog, except for Jem and Scout.
In most states it was and still is a felony to posses any marijuana or paraphernalia. A felony means mandatory jail time, huge fees, you can’t poses guns, and many businesses will not hire, not to mention all the other strict stipulations surrounding a conviction of a felony. Does it not seem extreme that a teacher would go to jail for smoking a joint, while rapists, thieves, and even worse criminals get off with probation. The current marijuana policies are in no way effective, menacing at best, ruining the lives of good citizens throughout our community. Prohibition has never helped, in any country, to solve or aid in the effort of cutting down marijuana use.
