The report articulates that the Ferguson police officers ran into an African American man while they were in the process of coming to arrest another person. Instead, the police officers arrested the man they ran into in the parking lot and ran his record without any reasonable suspicion.

oneself. They lock you away for hours at a time and release you only for meals and yard time. How can one become a better person if they are not given the resources to do so? Another reason to get rid of prisons, is that there would be no unnecessary arrests. Policemen would not have to fabricate tickets and charges to fill their monthly quotas. They would have to get valid reasons to…

placed under arrest. “Was it because the people that were being under arrest may have been a little disobedient and that your fellow officers did so as a means of showing superiority?” I asked my uncle. He responded, “No, that couldn’t have been the case. Nobody wishes to go to jail if they wouldn’t have to.

This short essay details how to speak to law enforcement officers in the scenario of a traffic stop, in an effort to protect and preserve civil rights granted by the Constitution. Violating the stipulations placed by the Forefathers outlined in our Bill of Rights undermines the values the United States was built on. Disregarding, ignoring or never learning about the laws that defend the people against mistreatment in the United States is how tyrannical figures dissolve them without reproach.…

In this body of work, the key points involved in the court determining the lawfulness of the use of force, the fundamental difference between the castle doctrine and the stand…
