Chokehold

The quote “On Sophia Auld transformation of character. “But alas! this kind heart had but a short time to remain such. The fatal poison irresponsible power was already in her hands, and soon commenced it’s infernal work. That cheerful eye, under the influence of slavery, soon became red with rage; that voice, made all sweet accord, changed to one harsh and horrid discord; and that angelic face gave place to that of a demon,” relates to the present and past history. In the narrative Frederick’s…

When he died in c1.473 she became regent for his underage son Thutmose III born to one of his concubines” (Stokstad 68).

Some actions have been implicated to combat this situation of police brutality, such as, protesting and demonstrations. Also, different tactics such as training…

Abstract This research paper is about police brutality and whether or not they should be allowed to use the force of a stun-gun, chokehold, and baton. It also discusses the topic on when enough is enough - concerning overkills and excessive choke holds. They have the power to get way with brutally murdering someone just because their job involves that. With that power comes great responsibility of knowing when and where to use what weapon and when not to use a weapon at all. These violent acts…

of court’s ruling in the officer’s favor when they shouldn’t have. Officers, such as Betty Shelby, Ray Tensing and Daniel Pantaleo, were let go of all charges because of their status. Daniel Pantaleo was a NYCPD officer who held Eric Garner in a chokehold, which later lead to his death in 2014. Pantaleo was not charged with murder or even manslaughter. Betty Shelby was an officer in Tulsa, Oklahoma and he killed Terence Crutcher in 2016. Shelby was later acquitted in 2017. These officers…

So many people have centred the police officer profession with the bad eggs that appear in almost every job. Just about every job that you will look at, all has those select few that bring shame to the profession. I have heard almost every stereotype given to police officer, a few of them really get under my skin. All cops are bad, they are all trigger happy, and cops couldn’t care less about the people they swore to protect. Stereotypes are one thing they teach officers in the academy not to…

“Human history begins with man's act of disobedience, which is at the very same time the beginning of his freedom and development of his reason.” ~Erich Fromm, Psychoanalysis & Religion.

Henry David is a head strong man who is willing to fight for what he believes in, he has the rare ability to never question his convictions no matter what obstacle is thrown at him, whether it be jail, or his family. As an educated man he has…

exceeding that reasonably necessary to accomplish a lawful police purpose. Sadly there are many cases where Police officers have used excessive force on someone who wasn't doing anything, for example, Eric Garner, 43-year-old man was put in an illegal chokehold for 15 seconds for allegedly selling cigarettes.

August 9, 2014 Michael Brown an unarmed black teenager was shot and killed by Darren Wilson, a white police officer. But little over a week later, the failure of a Staten Island grand jury to indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo for his fatal use of a chokehold on Eric Garner, yet another unarmed black man, further catalyzed the movement particularly because this deadly encounter was captured on film by nearby onlookers. The outrage over Officer Pantaleo’s nonindictment presents an interesting…

expiration date. I assume that most people stop using their card at some point, but I'm just as certain that there are people out there who will use it indefinitely. After five years, when we get the “all clear” from our doctors, we are released from the chokehold that cancer can have on us. We become survivors, leave cancer behind, and move on with our lives. It's reasonable to think that most cancer cards would expire soon after that. I’m grateful and fortunate to have reached the five-year…
