How To Increase Law Enforcement

Improved Essays
I believe that the amount of law enforcement placed in the dangerous parts of certain cities should be increased. Now I will state my reasoning and argument. Let me explain my reasoning, for what I need to say is true and must be heard. Now, I have acquired a chart. This chart states the amount of fatalities and injuries. The point of this chart is to explain why Law enforcement should be increased. The chart you see on this document is what i was talking about. When you look at it you will notice that fatalities are higher than injuries, most of the time anyway. Moving on, others say that we should increase it anyway, i’ve seen people look up to law enforcement and they have every right to do so. Also they feel that more lives could be saved and they would cover more ground with more eyes in dangerous parts of major cities. Besides, many deaths occur from assault, by gun to be exact, and the only way to stop someone with a gun is with a gun and law enforcement has the right to use such weapons. Now, I agree with these ideas if you want me to be honest. I'm not saying this just because i want to be right, i'm …show more content…
Facts to believe me? Well more lives could be saved, cities are safer, and it would be best if these thing were privied anyway. Keep the chart i used in mind, this is the exact reason why I think this should be done. Flaws and counters? Fatalities and injuries could increase therefore each unit have a medical vehicle or man who works well with first aid nearby. Insecurity of people being watched is a simple problem with an easy solution, have officers keep a close eye undercover but keep it casual. The whole point of this argument was to increase law enforcement in major cities and reduce the amount of deaths in the U.S. I believe solemnly that many people may feel safer. They will live in security than fear causing them to go about their day and do their work they need to accomplish in

    The quote by Howard Zinn claiming that the 1st Amendment is whatever the cop reporting the situation says is a very horrifying statement. The 1st Amendment is the rights that every man and woman have to speak their mind and act lawfully. Law enforcement officers job is to protect their community and make sure that the laws are being obeyed. The job of law enforcement is not too dress up in full military gear and tear gas masks and act like a military force.

As a citizen, I want to know that the police are protecting all citizens but it is hard watching the news and seeing how police officers are killing unarmed men and women, when it is unnecessary.…

    In my studies, reading over the presented materials I believe that there was a vast and ample amount of material that clearly illustrated issues as to how police officers approached the concept of lethal force and how to best apply them. Robin, who’s studies on lethal force forced the public to take conscious and helped it obtain national attention, conducted a study of 32 cases of justifiable homicide, and concluded that 88% of the victims of police shootings in Philadelphia were black, representing 22% of the population. Furthermore, there was an 8.8 to 1 ratio of black to white victims in seven other cities. (Binder and Fridell Pg, 250) Consequently, this study was only expanded by other researchers who included all deaths and wounding in analysis.…

    Banning assault weapons implies that criminals would be using illegal means to acquire the same weapons. Security agencies lack the capacity to fully secure the country from illegal firearms. In other words, criminals would still access assault weapons despite banning the same. Possession of assault weapons by criminals in an environment characterized by unarmed civilians put the security of civilians at stake. Citizens are only able to protect themselves when they have access to reliable weapons capable of countering attacks by criminals.…

    Should the Police be Armed? In a world full of violence and armed criminals, instinctively it seems right that the ultimate means of law and order in a country - the police force - is armed. The logic appears to work: if the police are armed, criminals - afraid of being shot - are far less likely to commit crimes. Indeed, in countries in which the police aren 't armed, gun crime has doubled over the last decade as has the number of people killed and injured by guns.…

    A survey showed results that Hispanics and African Americans are more likely to be expose to force of officers that whites. This brings about problems nationwide within the policing system because the public is being exposed to these situations more each day. It is known that police officers should only use the necessary amount of force that is needed to protect themselves from harm and make arrest, but this is not always the case. There are some cases where officers mishandle suspects and use more force than what is needed when making arrest. The use of force from officers can be categorized into two ways; deadly force or nondeadly…
