    Why would a successful football star throw his life away? OJ Simpson, who previously and still continually accused of murdering Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, was an American Football Star Player, winning the Heisman Trophy in 1968. Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were both murdered outside of Nicole’s condo, and many believe it was OJ, but was it really?

    I think the most obvious way Jason copes with his own and his family’s former prominence is to assert his own power over Caddy, Dilsey, and Luster. He is able to control Caddy not only because he is stronger then her, but he is exploiting Caddy’s desire to see her daughter for personal financial gain. He is able to control Dilsey and Luster racially and financially because he is a white man and provides for them. He exerted his power over Dilsey by threatening her and racially oppressing her. I think that Jason threw his power around to cope with his loss because it allowed him to feel like even though he may not be seen as societally important or prominent, he was still more powerful then them.…

    But in most cases it’s evident that what these officers do, is not within their job description. Before some of us were born, the issue with Rodney King transpired. Some young people, like myself, hadn’t heard of this case before, so after doing extensive research I can say without exaggerating that I am utterly astonished and disgusted. You’d think that after choosing a topic like this, I’d understand more, but the truth is that we won’t ever get accustomed to the way police officers act sometimes. Allow me to give you a brief insight to what happened the night of March 3, 1991.…
