Propriet Proportionality Case Study

In this scenario I have found that the partner was very wrong for attacking the prisoner. Furthermore, he should have never been in the back sit with the prison because he did not give him any reason to be there. Although, the guy is a criminal who was molesting children it is not his job to be the judge and jury. He was risking the chance of this known molester getting off with his crimes because he decided to take the law into his own hands without follow procedures. Therefore, he was wrong and the partner was wrong because he should have stopped the car when he hit the guy the first time and made him get in the front with him.
The word intention means something intended: an aim or plan (dictionary. reference n.d.). I feel that the partner knew what his intentions were when he got in the back seat with the suspect. Although, the officer that was driving did not know what his intention were at first because he never told him. Once he saw that his intention was to beat the suspect and then falsify the report he should have let it be known that he would not be a part of it and make his own report. Therefore, when an investigation began it would not look as if he intestinally withheld evidence.

In this scenario it would apply to the suspect as well as the officer who beat the suspect. Although, the suspect was wrong for the crime he committed the officer had no right to put his hands on him and the court did determine he was guilty and sentence him to three years in prison. Now as for the officer his punishment once found guilty of beating the suspect and falsifying a police report will fit his crimes of beating the suspect as well as having pay him the money from the civil suit for the damages he caused to him. Therefore, I feel that all punishments in this scenario do fit each crime

    But why would Wilds go to the authorities in the first place, if from there, he doesn’t even have his story made up? The only reason he went that day was to tell lies and expected the police to believe him, which they did, understandably. Because they didn’t have a lead. In the podcast, Koenig refers back to the Justin Wolfe case and how he was wrongly convicted of the crimes that was accused of him. And was later found that the one who gave police the lead, was the one to blame for the crime.…

    They could look at how they purposely avoided the roadblock after police tried to intercept Ryan and the rest of the men. This shows that they didn 't want to come into contact with the police at all, which resulted in a blown tire. The Crown could argue how Moore refused the commands from the officers to get out of the truck, which resulted in the use of Baron the police dog. The intent to wound from Ryan using the firearm would also be taken into account as an aggravated circumstance. The Crown also contend how Ryan has gang ties and if he really wanted to avoid criminal activity he would have already eliminated all associations with gang ties and other people with severe criminal records.…

    What's more, if I felt anger at that moment, it was not directed at the Kapo but at my father. Why couldn't he have avoided Idek's wrath?”(54). Elie seems to be unprepared to see his father being beaten because he silently feels angry during his father's beating. If Elie would have foreseen a situation like this then he would have explained to his father about how to avoid Idek’s brutal beatings. Silence may be the only option in certain scenarios but it might also be the…

    They should have let him get out the car and took him into custody from there. There was no reason he should have been attacked the way he was. The injuries he suffered made him live a different life. Excessive force is dangerous which is why officers should be careful before using a weapon or their hands. Some officers don’t know how serious excessive force is and they should take it more serious.…

    The lack of forensic knowledge was to blame, because forensics today is a crucial element in putting suspects in the slam. The only way possible to put Jack in jail, was to catch the Ripper committing the crime. Another reason why I doubt the police are to blame is because of all the unrealistic theories that the police was and/or knew the Ripper. A man who has dedicated his life for the safety of his town would unlikely use his power for bad. Even though the police shut down the investigation in a time gap that doesn't coordinate with the murders, I do think it was only a coincidence.…

    The reason why he wasn’t punished and was let free, is because the judges thought it was bad but people thought it was his freedom of speech and the judges couldn’t go against the first amendment. But they did everything they could to put him away for burning the flag. But they couldn’t so they let him go. Johnson should have got some time in jail at least and told that it was wrong for him to do anything to the United States flag.

    The Misfit allows for his punishment because he assumes it is for a sin that he committed during his life even though he is aware that it is not for killing his father. Viewing life the way he does, The Misfit believes that punishment will come for any minor sin that is committed. The Misfit states that he calls himself The Misfit "because [he] can 't make what all [he] done wrong fit what all [he] gone through in punishment," but with much thought, one can conclude that there is more to the meaning of his name (O 'Connor 1295). Because of a crime that he never committed, he is placed in prison; therefore, he does not fit in with the rest of the prisoners who were punished for actually committing a crime. In "Capital Punishment," Alexie expresses that after witnessing multiple executions, "If any of us stood for days on top of a barren hill during an…

    Charles blames society for his family’s violence even though it is his brainwashing that caused it. Charles accuses society of being responsible for “children [coming] at [them] with knives” because “they are your children” and he did not teach them, just “tried to help them stand up” (Manson). Charles refuses to take responsibility for his family assaulting people with knives by blaming it on society. This shows his ineptitude to accept responsibility for his actions of indoctrinating his family. Charles refusing to admit his mistake of teaching his family violence prohibits him from experiencing an authentic life.…
