Tallahassee Police Department

Why is there such wide spread hatred towards police in the world right now? Especially in the United States? Some may say that is was sparked by the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson Missouri in 2014. Michael Brown was an 18 year old who was fatally shot by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. Mr. Brown before the shooting was strong arm robbing a local convenience store. Officer Wilson was dispatched to the call. Wilson approached him and started to back up towards his car. They then…

In today’s society being a police officer is more difficult and dangerous than it has ever been before. An officer has many duties and they consist of enforcing the laws while making sure not to infringe on a person’s property or life. Officers are forced to make many split second decisions and when they don’t react correctly the media heavily scrutinizes them. This causes the community to mistrust its officers and can lead to a bad relationship between both parties. Along with the stresses of…

Police Brutality and Chest Cameras In recent years, we’ve noticed an increase in claims of police brutality. However, without any hard evidence, they’re just that: claims. With such controversial events such as the Mike Brown, Eric Garner, and John crawford shootings, police brutality and racism has become more and more in the forefront of the public eye. Some have suggested improvements and precautions for the police to take, such as chest cams in addition to already existing dash cams. Are…

Ever since sophomore year of high school I’ve always wanted to become a police officer. When we were told to go to the website ihaveaplaniowa.gov to take tests to figure out what kind of jobs we would like, corrections were one of the first results. I knew I didn’t want corrections, but something along those lines seemed to sound right for me. I thought about it then I knew I wanted to be a police officer. Dealing with crimes while they were taking place, chasing down ‘bad guys’, and just simple…

people who were upset there were a number of different social groups and people from different ethnic groups who also saw the wrong in the actions of the officer. It caused the mayor to take action and change some laws and precautions as to how the police force runs in Chicago. Then you have other politicians and government officials who exposed how much hatred they had for different races and how stereotypes can consume the thoughts and minds of individuals. It was quite sad to see a teenage…

Wal-mart is a large big box retail store that sells a wide variety of products. In the past, Wal-mart has done some dishonest things, “A New York times story alleged that Wal-mart bribed officials in Mexico to allow the company to open stores in Mexico” (Mielach 3). Also that is not all that has been learned about Wal-mart, notice that in general, “The only studies that support Big Wally are funded by or through Wal-mart” (Barrison 3). That is just a bit suspicious is it not? However, the…

lawsuit against the City of Kennewick and the fire department because of discrimination and no promotions even though she repeatedly applied for a higher rank. The City did not want to go to court so they settled on approximately $600,000 which of that money, she would get $349,000” (Kristi Pihl). The problem with lawsuits like this is that they have to resign from their position and it makes it a lot difficult to be hired on with other departments. In how far this country and women have come…

Emergency departments provide twenty-four hour care for life threatening, chronic and acute conditions. However, the increase utilization of emergency departments lead to overcrowding and an increase in the number of individuals that leave without being seen (LWBS) by a physician. “According to a Center for Disease Control and Prevention report on ED use in the United States in 2000, at least 1.8 million patients left emergency departments without being seen” (Johnson et al., 2009). This is a…

knowledge of the sciences as well as the healthcare field was when I job-shadowed the physiotherapists at the St. Joseph’s Hospital Charlton Campus in Hamilton, Ontario. I observed the physiotherapists at work for a total of 16 hours in a variety of departments which included respiratory, musculoskeletal and acute medicine. It was an excellent opportunity to appreciate the teamwork involved across disciplines to provide the best possible treatment for patients. I initially spent time with a…
